5 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
8 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
9 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
11 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
15 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
16 platform rather than 'mingw'.
19 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
20 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
23 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
24 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
27 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
28 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
29 which is the minimum version we support.
32 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
33 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
34 are no longer allowed.
37 *) Add support for ARIA
40 *) Add support for SipHash
43 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
44 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
45 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
46 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
49 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
50 using the algorithm defined in
51 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
54 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
55 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
57 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
60 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
62 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
64 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
65 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
66 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
67 and servers are affected.
69 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
73 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
75 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
77 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
78 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
79 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
81 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
85 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
87 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
88 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
89 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
92 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
96 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
98 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
99 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
100 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
101 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
102 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
103 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
104 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
105 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
106 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
107 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
108 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
109 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
110 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
112 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
116 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
118 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
120 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
121 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
122 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
124 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
128 *) CMS Null dereference
130 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
131 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
132 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
133 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
134 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
137 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
141 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
143 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
144 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
145 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
146 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
147 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
148 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
149 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
150 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
151 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
152 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
153 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
154 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
155 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
156 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
158 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
159 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
160 providing reproducible case.
164 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
165 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
168 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
170 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
172 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
173 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
174 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
175 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
176 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
177 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
179 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
181 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
185 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
187 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
189 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
190 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
191 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
192 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
193 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
194 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
195 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
197 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
201 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
203 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
204 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
205 Denial Of Service attack.
207 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
211 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
212 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
214 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
215 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
216 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
217 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
218 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
219 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
220 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
221 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
222 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
223 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
224 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
225 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
226 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
227 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
228 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
230 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
231 that the connection fails
233 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
234 very little free memory
236 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
237 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
238 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
239 memory to service the multiple requests.
241 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
242 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
243 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
244 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
245 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
247 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
248 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
251 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
252 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
253 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
254 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
255 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
256 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
257 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
260 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
262 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
263 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
264 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
265 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
266 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
270 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
271 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
272 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
275 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
276 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
277 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
278 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
281 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
282 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
286 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
287 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
288 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
289 no-ops and deprecated.
292 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
293 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
295 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
297 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
298 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
299 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
302 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
303 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
304 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
305 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
306 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
307 and the validity of object reference counter.
308 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
310 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
311 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
312 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
313 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
316 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
319 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
320 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
321 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
322 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
324 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
328 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
329 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
332 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
335 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
338 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
339 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
340 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
341 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
342 name and is used as is.
345 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
346 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
347 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
350 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
351 the "no-shared" Configure option.
354 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
355 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
359 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
360 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
361 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
362 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
363 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
364 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
365 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
366 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
370 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
371 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
372 enabled with '--debug' builds.
373 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
375 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
376 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
377 these have been added.
380 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
381 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
382 functions for managing these have been added.
385 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
386 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
387 these have been added.
390 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
391 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
395 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
398 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
401 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
402 it is always safe to #include a header now.
405 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
408 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
411 *) Add support for HKDF.
414 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
417 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
418 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
419 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
420 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
421 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
422 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
423 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
426 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
427 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
428 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
431 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
432 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
433 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
434 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
435 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
436 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
437 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
439 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
440 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
443 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
446 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
447 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
448 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
449 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
450 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
451 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
455 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
456 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
459 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
460 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
461 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
464 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
465 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
466 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
467 implemented by other servers.
470 *) Add X25519 support.
471 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
472 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
473 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
474 key generation and key derivation.
476 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
480 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
481 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
482 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
483 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
484 seed, even if the seed is configured.
486 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
487 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
488 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
489 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
490 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
491 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
492 that of a valid user.
495 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
496 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
497 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
498 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
500 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
501 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
503 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
504 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
505 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
506 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
508 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
509 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
513 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
514 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
515 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
516 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
517 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
518 of how OpenSSL was configured.
520 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
521 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
522 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
525 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
528 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
529 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
530 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
534 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
535 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
536 old #define's might need to be updated.
537 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
539 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
542 *) New "unified" build system
544 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
545 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
547 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
548 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
549 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
551 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
552 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
553 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
554 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
557 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
558 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
559 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
560 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
561 libraries" in INSTALL.
563 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
566 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
567 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
568 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
569 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
572 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
573 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
575 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
576 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
577 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
578 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
579 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
580 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
581 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
582 have been adapted accordingly.
585 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
589 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
590 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
591 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
592 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
595 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
596 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
597 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
601 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
602 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
605 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
606 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
607 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
609 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
610 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
611 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
613 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
614 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
616 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
617 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
618 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
619 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
622 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
623 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
624 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
625 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
626 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
630 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
631 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
632 straightforward and less interdependent.
634 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
635 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
636 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
638 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
639 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
640 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
642 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
643 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
644 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
645 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
647 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
648 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
651 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
652 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
653 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
654 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
658 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
660 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
662 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
663 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
664 before trying to build now.*
667 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
671 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
673 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
674 the application's responsibility. The application provides
675 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
676 used to authenticate the peer.
678 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
679 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
680 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
681 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
682 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
685 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
686 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
687 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
688 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
689 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
690 or the 1.1.0 releases.
692 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
693 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
694 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
695 support for the deprecated features from the library and
696 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
697 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
698 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
699 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
702 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
703 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
704 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
705 compile with later releases.
707 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
708 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
709 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
710 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
711 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
714 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
715 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
716 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
717 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
718 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
719 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
720 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
721 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
724 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
727 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
728 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
729 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
732 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
733 include the ec.h header file instead.
736 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
737 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
738 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
741 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
742 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
745 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
746 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
748 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
749 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
750 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
753 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
754 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
755 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
756 an already created structure.
757 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
758 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
759 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
760 for deprecated builds.
763 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
764 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
765 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
766 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
767 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
768 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
769 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
772 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
773 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
774 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
775 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
778 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
779 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
782 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
783 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
786 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
787 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
788 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
789 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
790 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
791 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
792 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
796 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
797 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
798 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
801 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
804 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
806 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
808 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
810 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
811 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
819 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
820 set a mandatory field to NULL.
822 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
823 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
824 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
828 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
831 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
832 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
833 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
834 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
837 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
838 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
839 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
840 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
843 *) Fix no-stdio build.
844 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
845 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
847 *) New testing framework
848 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
849 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
850 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
851 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
852 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
853 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
855 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
857 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
858 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
862 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
863 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
864 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
865 and others were changed. All are now documented.
868 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
870 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
872 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
873 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
875 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
876 original RSA_PSK patch.
879 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
880 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
881 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
882 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
885 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
886 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
889 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
890 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
891 hasn't been working properly for a while.
894 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
895 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
896 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
897 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
901 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
902 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
903 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
904 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
907 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
908 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
909 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
910 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
911 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
912 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
915 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
916 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
917 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
918 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
919 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
920 header file has been removed.
923 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
924 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
927 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
928 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
929 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
931 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
935 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
938 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
942 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
945 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
946 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
947 initial patch which was a great help during development.
950 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
951 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
952 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
953 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
956 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
957 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
958 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
959 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
960 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
961 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
964 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
965 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
966 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
967 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
970 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
971 compatible client hello.
974 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
975 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
976 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
978 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
981 *) Removed old DES API.
984 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
990 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
995 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
998 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
999 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1000 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1001 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1002 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1003 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1004 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1005 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1006 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1007 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1008 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1011 *) Cleaned up dead code
1012 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1015 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1016 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1017 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1020 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1021 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1022 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1025 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1026 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1027 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1029 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1030 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1031 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1033 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1035 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1037 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1038 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1039 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1041 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1042 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1044 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1045 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1048 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1049 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1050 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1051 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1053 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1054 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1055 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1056 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1058 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1059 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1060 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1062 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1063 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1066 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1068 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1069 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1071 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1072 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1074 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1077 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1081 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1082 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1083 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1084 algorithms and include tests cases.
1087 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1091 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1092 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1095 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1096 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1098 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1099 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1102 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1103 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1107 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1108 sign or verify all in one operation.
1111 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1112 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1113 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1116 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1119 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1122 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1123 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1124 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1125 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1126 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1129 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1133 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1134 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1135 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1138 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1141 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1142 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1145 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1146 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1149 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1150 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1151 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1154 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1155 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1156 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1157 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1158 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1159 requested amount of entropy.
1162 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1163 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1166 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1167 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1168 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1172 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1173 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1174 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1177 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1178 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1179 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1180 will never use XTS mode.
1183 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1184 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1185 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1186 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1187 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1188 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1191 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1192 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1193 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1194 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1197 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1198 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1199 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1202 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1205 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1208 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1209 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1212 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1213 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1216 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1217 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1220 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1221 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1222 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1223 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1224 and rename any affected symbols.
1227 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1228 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1231 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1232 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1233 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1236 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1239 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1240 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1241 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1244 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1245 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1248 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1249 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1250 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1251 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1252 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1253 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1257 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1258 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1259 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1260 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1261 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1262 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1263 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1264 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1267 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1268 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1271 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1273 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1274 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1276 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1277 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1278 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1279 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1280 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will

1283 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.

1289 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1293 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1294 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1297 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1298 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1299 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1302 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1303 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1304 multi-process servers.
1307 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1308 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1309 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1310 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1311 RAND_METHOD structure.
1314 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1315 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1316 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1317 whose return value is often ignored.
1320 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1321 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1322 validated when establishing a connection.

1325 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1327 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1329 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1330 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1333 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1334 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1335 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1336 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1337 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1340 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1344 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1346 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1347 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1348 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1351 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1352 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1353 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1354 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1355 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1356 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1358 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1362 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1364 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1365 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1366 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1367 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1368 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1369 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1370 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1371 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1372 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1373 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1374 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1375 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1376 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1377 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1378 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1379 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1381 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1385 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1387 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1388 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1389 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1391 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1392 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1393 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1394 applications are not affected.
1396 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1402 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1403 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1404 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1406 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1410 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1411 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1414 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1418 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1419 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1422 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1424 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1425 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1426 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1429 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1430 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1431 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1432 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1433 will need to explicitly call either of:
1435 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1437 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1439 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1440 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1441 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1442 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1443 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1447 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1449 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1450 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1451 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1454 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1459 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1461 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1463 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1464 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1465 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1468 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1469 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1470 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1471 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1472 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1473 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1474 that of a valid user.
1478 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1480 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1481 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1482 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1483 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1484 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1485 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1486 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1487 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1488 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1489 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1490 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1492 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1493 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1494 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1495 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1496 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1498 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1502 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1504 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1505 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1506 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1508 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1509 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1510 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1511 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1512 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1515 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1516 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1517 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1518 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1519 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1520 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1521 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1522 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1523 as command line arguments.
1525 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1526 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1527 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1529 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1533 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1535 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1536 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1537 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1538 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1539 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1541 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1542 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1543 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1544 http://cachebleed.info.
1548 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1549 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1550 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1551 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1554 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1555 *) DH small subgroups
1557 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1558 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1559 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1560 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1561 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1562 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1563 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1564 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1565 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1566 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1568 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1569 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1570 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1571 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1572 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1574 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1575 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1576 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1577 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1579 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1580 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1582 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1586 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1588 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1589 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1590 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1593 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
1594 and Sebastian Schinzel.
1598 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
1600 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1602 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1603 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1604 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1605 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1606 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1607 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1608 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1609 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1610 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1611 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1612 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1613 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
1615 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
1619 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1621 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1622 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1623 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1624 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1625 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1626 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1627 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1630 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1634 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1636 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1637 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1638 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1639 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1641 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1646 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1647 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1648 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1649 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1652 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1654 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1656 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1658 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1660 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1661 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1662 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1663 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1664 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1665 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1667 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1671 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
1673 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
1674 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1678 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1680 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1682 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1683 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1686 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1687 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1688 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1689 client authentication enabled.
1691 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1695 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1697 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1698 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1699 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1702 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1703 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1704 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1705 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1706 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1709 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1710 independently by Hanno Böck.
1714 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1716 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1717 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1718 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1720 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1721 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1722 servers are not affected.
1724 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1728 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1730 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1731 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1732 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1734 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
1738 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1740 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1741 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1742 a double free of the ticket data.
1746 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
1747 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
1748 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
1751 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
1753 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1755 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1756 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1757 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1759 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1762 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1764 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1766 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1767 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1768 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1769 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1770 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1771 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1772 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1773 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1775 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1779 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1781 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1782 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1783 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1784 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1785 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1786 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1787 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1788 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1791 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1795 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1797 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1798 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1799 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1800 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1801 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1802 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1806 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1808 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1809 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1810 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1811 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1812 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1813 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1814 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1816 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1820 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1822 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1823 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1824 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1826 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1827 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1828 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1833 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1835 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1836 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1837 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1839 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1840 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1841 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1843 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1847 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1849 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1850 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1851 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1853 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1854 (OpenSSL development team).
1858 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1860 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1861 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1862 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1866 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1868 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1869 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1870 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1871 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1872 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1873 SSL_client_methodv23)
1874 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1875 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1877 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1878 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1879 output may be predictable.
1881 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1882 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1884 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1888 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1890 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1891 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1892 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1893 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1894 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1895 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1897 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1902 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1904 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1905 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1907 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1911 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1914 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1916 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1917 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1918 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1919 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1920 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1921 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1924 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1925 (other platforms pending).
1926 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1928 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1929 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1932 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1933 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1934 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1937 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1938 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1939 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1940 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1943 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1944 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1946 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1947 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1948 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1949 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1950 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1952 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1955 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1956 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1957 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1958 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1960 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1962 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1964 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1965 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1966 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1969 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1972 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1973 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1974 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1977 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1978 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1981 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1982 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1985 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1986 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1987 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1988 algorithms and include tests cases.
1991 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1993 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1995 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1996 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1999 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2000 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2001 summary of the connection parameters.
2004 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2005 of connection parameters.
2008 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2009 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2011 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2012 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2015 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2018 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2019 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2022 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2023 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2026 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2030 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2031 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2032 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2035 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2038 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2039 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2042 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2043 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2044 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2048 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2049 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2052 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2056 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2060 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2061 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2062 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2063 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2066 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2067 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2070 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2071 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2072 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2076 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2077 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2078 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2079 use the certificate.
2082 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2085 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2086 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2087 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2088 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2089 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2090 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2091 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2093 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2094 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2098 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2099 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2100 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2103 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2104 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2105 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2106 supported signature algorithms.
2109 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2112 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2113 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2114 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2115 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2116 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2117 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2118 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2121 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2122 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2123 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2124 to have similar checks in it.
2126 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2127 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2128 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2129 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2130 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2133 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2134 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2135 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2136 shared signature algorithms.
2139 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2140 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2144 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2145 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2146 it couldn't be removed.
2149 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2150 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2153 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2154 functions. Add manual page.
2155 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2157 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2158 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2162 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2163 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2165 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2166 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2167 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2168 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2172 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2173 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2176 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2177 platform support for Linux and Android.
2180 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2183 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2184 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2185 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2186 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2187 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2190 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2191 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2192 the new parameter format automatically.
2195 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2196 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2199 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2202 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2203 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2204 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2205 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2206 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2209 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2210 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2211 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2212 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2213 to set list of supported curves.
2216 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2217 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2218 to print out received values.
2221 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2222 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2223 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2226 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2227 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2230 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2231 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2234 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2238 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2240 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2241 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2242 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2244 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2246 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2247 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2249 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2251 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2252 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2253 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2254 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2258 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2259 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2260 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2261 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2262 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2263 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2267 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2268 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2269 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2270 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2274 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2277 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2278 reporting this issue.
2282 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2283 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2284 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2285 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2286 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2287 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2291 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2292 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2293 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2294 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2295 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2296 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2297 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2302 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2303 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2305 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2306 and can vary with the CTX.
2309 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2311 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2312 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2313 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2314 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2315 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2317 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2319 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2320 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2322 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2324 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2325 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2326 errors for some broken certificates.
2328 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2330 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2332 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2333 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2335 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2336 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2337 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2338 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2340 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2341 of the OpenSSL core team.
2346 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2347 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2348 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2349 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2350 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2351 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2352 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2353 the OpenSSL core team.
2357 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2358 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2359 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2360 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2361 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2363 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2364 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2365 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2368 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2369 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2370 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2371 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2372 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2374 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2375 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2376 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2379 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2381 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2383 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2384 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2385 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2386 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2387 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2388 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2389 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2391 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2395 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2397 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2398 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2399 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2400 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2401 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2406 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2408 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2409 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2410 configured to send them.
2412 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2414 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2415 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2416 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2418 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2420 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2422 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2423 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2424 DigestInfo structures.
2426 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2430 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2432 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2433 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2434 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2436 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2437 Group for discovering this issue.
2441 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2442 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2443 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2444 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2445 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2447 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2448 researching this issue.
2452 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2453 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2454 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2455 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2457 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2462 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2463 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2464 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2468 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2469 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2470 Denial of Service attack.
2471 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2475 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2476 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2477 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2478 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2483 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2484 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2485 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2487 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2492 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2493 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2494 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2495 Denial of Service attack.
2497 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2498 discovering and researching this issue.
2502 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2503 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2504 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2505 output to the attacker.
2507 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2509 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2511 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2512 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2513 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2516 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2518 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2519 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2520 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2522 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2523 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2524 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2526 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2527 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2530 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2532 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2534 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2535 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2536 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2537 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2539 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2540 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2542 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2543 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2545 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2546 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2547 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2549 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2551 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2553 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2554 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2555 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2557 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2558 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2560 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2562 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2563 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2566 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2567 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2568 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2569 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2571 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2572 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2573 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2574 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2576 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2577 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2578 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2580 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2582 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2583 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2584 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2585 is at least 512 bytes long.
2587 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2589 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2591 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2592 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2593 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2596 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2597 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2598 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2601 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2602 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2603 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2604 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2605 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2606 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2607 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2609 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2611 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2612 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2613 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2615 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2617 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2619 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2620 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2621 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2623 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2624 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2625 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2626 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2628 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2630 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2631 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2632 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2633 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2634 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2638 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2639 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2642 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2643 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2645 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2646 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2647 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2648 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2649 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2651 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2654 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2658 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2660 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2661 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2663 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2664 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2668 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2669 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2672 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2676 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2678 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2679 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2680 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2681 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2682 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2683 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2684 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2685 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2686 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2687 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2690 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2691 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2692 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2693 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2694 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2695 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2699 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2701 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2702 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2703 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2705 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2706 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2708 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2710 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2713 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2714 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2716 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2717 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2718 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2719 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2720 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2721 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2722 Most broken servers should now work.
2723 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2724 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2727 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2730 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2732 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2733 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2736 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2737 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2738 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2739 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2740 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2743 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2744 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2745 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2746 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2747 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2750 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2751 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2753 *) Add support for SCTP.
2754 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2756 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2757 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2759 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2761 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2762 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2763 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2764 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2765 - s390x: z196 support;
2766 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2770 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2771 (removal of unnecessary code)
2772 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2774 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2777 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2780 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2781 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2782 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2784 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2786 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2787 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2788 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2789 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2790 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2792 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2793 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2794 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2796 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2797 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2798 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2800 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2801 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2803 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2805 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2806 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2807 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2810 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2811 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2815 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2816 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2817 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2820 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2821 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2822 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2823 the appropriate parameters.
2826 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2827 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2828 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2829 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2830 against a number of sample certificates.
2833 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2834 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2836 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2837 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2839 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2840 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2844 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2848 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2849 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2850 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2851 password based CMS).
2854 *) Session-handling fixes:
2855 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2856 but also support Session Tickets.
2857 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2858 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2859 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2860 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2861 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2862 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2864 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2867 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2869 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2872 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2873 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2874 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2875 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2876 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2879 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2880 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2883 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2884 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2885 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2888 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2889 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2890 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2891 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2894 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2895 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2896 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2899 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2900 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2902 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2905 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2906 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2909 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2912 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2913 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2916 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2917 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2920 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2923 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2924 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2925 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2928 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2931 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2934 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2935 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2938 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2939 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2940 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2943 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2946 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2950 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2951 FIPS modules versions.
2954 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2955 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2956 until after the certificate request message is received.
2959 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2960 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2961 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2962 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2965 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2966 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2967 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2968 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2971 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2972 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2973 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2974 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2975 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2976 and version checking.
2979 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2980 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2981 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2982 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2986 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2988 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2991 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2992 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2993 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2995 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2996 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2997 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3000 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3001 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3003 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3004 a few changes are required:
3006 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3007 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3008 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3009 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3010 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3013 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3015 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3016 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3017 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3018 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3019 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3020 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3021 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3022 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3023 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3026 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3027 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3028 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3031 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3033 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3034 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3035 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3036 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3039 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3041 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3042 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3043 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3044 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3045 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3046 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3047 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3048 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3049 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3050 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3051 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3052 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3053 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3055 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3057 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3059 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3060 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3061 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)

3064 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3065 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3067 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3068 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3069 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3070 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3072 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3073 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3075 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3076 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3078 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3079 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3081 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3082 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3083 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3085 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3086 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3087 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3089 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3090 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3091 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3092 the last update always remained unused).
3093 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3095 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3096 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3098 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3100 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3101 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3102 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3104 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3105 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3106 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3108 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3111 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3112 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3113 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3116 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3117 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3119 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3121 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]

3125 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3126 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3128 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3129 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3133 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3135 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3136 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3137 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3140 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3141 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3142 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3145 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3147 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3148 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3149 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3152 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3156 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3158 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3160 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3162 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3164 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3165 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3166 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3169 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3172 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3173 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3174 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3176 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3177 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3178 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3181 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3182 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3185 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3186 some responders need this.
3189 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3191 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3193 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3194 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3195 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3198 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3201 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3202 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3203 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3204 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3205 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3206 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3207 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3208 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3211 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3212 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3213 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3214 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3216 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3217 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3219 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3223 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3224 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3225 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3226 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3227 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3228 attempting to work them out.
3231 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3232 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3233 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3234 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3237 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3238 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3239 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3240 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3241 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3244 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3245 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3252 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3254 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3258 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3259 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3261 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3262 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3264 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3265 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3266 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3267 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3268 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3271 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3272 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3273 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3276 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3277 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3280 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3281 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3283 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3284 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3287 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3290 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3291 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3292 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3296 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3297 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3298 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3299 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3300 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3301 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3304 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3305 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3307 This work was sponsored by Google.
3310 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3311 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3312 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3313 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3314 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3315 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3316 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3319 This work was sponsored by Google.
3322 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3324 This work was sponsored by Google.
3327 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3328 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3329 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3330 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3332 This work was sponsored by Google.
3335 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3336 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3337 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3338 CRL functionality in future.
3340 This work was sponsored by Google.
3343 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3345 This work was sponsored by Google.
3348 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3349 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3351 This work was sponsored by Google.
3354 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3355 and URI types are currently supported.
3357 This work was sponsored by Google.
3360 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3361 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3362 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3363 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3364 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3365 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3366 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3367 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3369 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3370 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3371 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3373 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3374 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3375 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3376 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3378 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3379 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3380 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3381 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3382 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3383 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3384 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3385 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3387 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3389 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3390 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3391 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3393 This work was sponsored by Google.
3396 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3399 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3400 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3401 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3404 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3405 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3408 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3409 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3412 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3413 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3414 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3415 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3416 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3417 content types and variants.
3420 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3423 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3424 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3425 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3426 files from the associated perl scripts.
3429 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3430 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3431 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3433 *) s390x assembler pack.
3436 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3440 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3441 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3442 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3443 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3444 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3445 to use. For example, specify an option
3447 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3449 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3450 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3451 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3452 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3453 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3454 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3456 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3457 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3458 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3459 return non-zero for success.
3461 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3464 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3465 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3469 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3472 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3473 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3474 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3475 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3476 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3477 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3478 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3479 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3480 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3482 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3483 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3484 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3485 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3486 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3487 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3489 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3490 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3491 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3492 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3493 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3494 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3498 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3501 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3503 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3504 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3505 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3508 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3509 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3512 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3513 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3514 with no application modification.
3516 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3517 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3519 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3520 or server extensions to be examined.
3522 This work was sponsored by Google.
3525 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3526 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3527 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3529 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3530 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3531 ciphersuite support.
3532 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3534 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3535 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3536 to output in BER and PEM format.
3539 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3540 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3541 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3542 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3543 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3546 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3547 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3548 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3552 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3553 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3554 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3555 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3556 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3557 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3558 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3559 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3562 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3563 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3564 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3565 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3567 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3568 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3569 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3573 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3574 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3575 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3576 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3577 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3578 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3579 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3580 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3581 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3583 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3584 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3585 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3586 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3587 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3588 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3589 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3590 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3591 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3592 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3593 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3596 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3597 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3598 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3600 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3601 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3605 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3606 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3607 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3610 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3611 it yet and it is largely untested.
3614 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3617 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3618 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3619 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3622 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3625 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3626 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3627 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3628 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3631 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3632 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3633 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3634 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3635 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3638 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3639 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3642 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3643 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3644 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3645 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3648 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3649 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3650 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3651 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3654 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3655 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3658 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3659 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3660 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3661 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3664 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3665 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3666 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3669 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3673 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3674 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3677 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3678 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3679 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3683 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3684 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3685 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3688 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3689 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3690 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3691 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3694 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3695 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3696 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3697 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3698 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3699 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3702 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3703 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3704 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3705 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3706 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3708 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3709 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3710 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3711 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3712 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3715 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3716 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3717 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3718 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3720 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3721 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3722 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3723 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3724 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3730 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3731 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3735 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3736 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3739 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3740 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3743 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3744 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3745 functional reference processing.
3748 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3749 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3753 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3754 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3755 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3758 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3759 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3760 application to support multiple signers.
3763 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3767 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3768 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3769 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3770 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3771 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3774 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3778 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3779 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3780 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3781 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3785 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3786 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3787 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3788 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3789 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3790 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3791 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3792 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3795 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3796 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3797 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3798 between digests and public key types.
3801 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3802 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3803 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3804 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3807 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3808 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3812 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3815 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3819 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3820 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3821 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3822 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3827 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3829 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3831 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3833 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3834 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3835 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3836 functionality for RSA.
3839 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3840 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3841 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3844 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3845 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3848 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3849 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3850 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3853 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3854 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3857 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3858 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3861 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3862 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3866 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3867 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3868 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3872 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3873 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3874 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3875 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3876 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3877 of public and private key structures.
3880 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3881 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3884 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3885 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3886 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3889 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3893 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3894 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3895 SSL_get_psk_identity
3896 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3898 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3900 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3901 and response verification functionality.
3902 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3904 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3905 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3906 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3907 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3908 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3909 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3910 server_name extension.
3912 New functions (subject to change):
3914 SSL_get_servername()
3915 SSL_get_servername_type()
3918 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3920 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3921 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3922 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3923 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3924 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3926 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3928 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3929 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3930 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3931 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3932 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3933 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3936 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3938 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3941 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3942 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3943 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3944 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3945 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3948 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3949 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3953 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3954 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3955 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3956 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3959 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3960 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3961 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3962 using the maximum available value.
3965 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3966 in addition to the text details.
3969 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3970 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3971 handle several customised structures at all.
3974 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3975 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3976 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3979 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3982 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3983 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3984 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3987 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3988 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3989 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3992 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3993 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3997 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4000 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4003 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4005 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4006 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4007 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4008 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4009 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4010 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4011 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4012 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4014 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4015 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4016 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4018 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4020 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4021 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4023 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4024 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4027 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4028 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4029 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4032 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4033 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4034 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4035 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4036 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4037 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4040 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4041 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4042 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4045 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4046 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4047 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4048 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4049 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4050 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4054 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4055 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4058 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4059 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4060 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4063 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4066 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4067 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4068 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4069 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4070 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4071 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4072 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4073 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4074 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4077 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4078 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4079 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4082 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4083 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4086 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4087 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4088 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4089 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4090 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4091 know what you are doing.
4092 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4094 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4095 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4096 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4097 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4098 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4099 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4103 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4104 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4105 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4107 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4109 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4110 warnings in other configurations.
4113 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4114 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4115 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4117 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4119 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4120 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4121 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4123 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4124 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4125 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4126 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4129 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4133 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4134 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4136 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4138 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4139 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4140 other than a simple chain.
4141 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4143 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4144 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4145 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4146 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4149 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4150 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4151 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4152 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4153 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4154 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4155 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4156 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4157 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4159 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4160 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4161 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4162 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4163 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4164 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4166 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4168 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4169 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4172 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4173 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4176 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4178 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4180 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4181 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4182 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4183 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4184 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4188 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4190 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4191 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4192 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4193 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4195 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4196 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4197 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4198 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4200 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4201 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4202 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4205 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4206 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4210 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4211 to handle some structures.
4214 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4216 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4218 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4221 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4224 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4227 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4228 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4232 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4234 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4236 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4238 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4241 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4242 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4243 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4244 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4246 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4247 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4249 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4250 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4253 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4254 s_client and s_server.
4257 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4258 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4260 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4261 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4263 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4264 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4265 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4266 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4267 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4270 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4272 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4273 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4276 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4277 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4280 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4281 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4282 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4283 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4285 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4286 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4288 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4290 *) Various precautionary measures:
4292 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4294 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4295 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4296 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4298 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4299 outside the expected range.
4301 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4304 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4306 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4307 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4308 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4310 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4313 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4316 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4318 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4321 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4322 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4323 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4325 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4328 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4329 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4330 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4334 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4336 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4337 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4338 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4339 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4341 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4342 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4345 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4347 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4348 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4349 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4351 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4353 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4354 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4355 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4356 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4359 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4360 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4361 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4362 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4363 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4364 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4365 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4367 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4369 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4370 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4371 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4372 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4373 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4375 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4376 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4378 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4379 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4380 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4381 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4382 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4384 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4386 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4387 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4388 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4389 sets may exist with different names.
4392 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4393 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4394 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4395 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4396 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4397 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4398 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4399 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4400 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4402 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4404 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4405 implementation in the following ways:
4407 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4410 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4411 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4412 ignored for embedded content.
4414 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4415 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4418 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4419 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4420 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4421 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4423 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4424 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4427 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4428 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4431 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4432 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4433 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4434 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4435 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4436 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4440 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4441 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

4463 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4464 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4465 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4466 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4467 to s_client and s_server.
4470 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4472 *) Fix various bugs:
4473 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4474 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4475 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4476 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4477 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4479 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4481 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4482 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4483 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4484 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4485 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4486 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4487 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4488 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4491 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4492 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4493 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4496 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4497 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4498 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4501 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4502 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4505 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4506 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4507 with no application modification.
4509 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4510 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4512 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4513 or server extensions to be examined.
4515 This work was sponsored by Google.
4518 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4519 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4520 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4521 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4522 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4523 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4524 server_name extension.
4526 New functions (subject to change):
4528 SSL_get_servername()
4529 SSL_get_servername_type()
4532 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4534 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4535 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4536 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4537 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4538 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4540 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4542 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4543 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4544 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4545 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4546 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4547 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4550 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4552 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4555 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4558 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4559 (which previously caused an internal error).
4562 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4565 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4566 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4568 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4569 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4570 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4572 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4573 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4574 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4575 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4577 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4578 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4579 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4580 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4582 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4583 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4584 information. For detailed background information, see
4585 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4586 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4587 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4588 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4589 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4590 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4591 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4592 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4593 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4594 remove a conditional branch.
4596 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4597 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4598 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4599 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4600 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4601 remains as a deprecated alias.
4603 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4604 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4605 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4606 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4608 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4609 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4610 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4611 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4612 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4613 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4614 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4615 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4617 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4619 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4620 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4621 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4622 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4623 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4624 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4625 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4626 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4627 in a different context.
4630 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4631 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4632 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4635 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4636 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4637 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4639 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4641 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4642 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4643 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4644 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4645 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4648 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4649 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4650 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4651 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4652 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4653 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4656 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4657 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4658 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4659 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4660 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4663 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4664 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4666 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4667 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4668 Improve header file function name parsing.
4671 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4672 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4675 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4677 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4678 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4679 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4681 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4682 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4684 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4685 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4687 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4688 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4689 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4691 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4692 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4693 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4694 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4695 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4696 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4697 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4698 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4699 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4701 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4702 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4703 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4704 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4705 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4707 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4708 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4709 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4710 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4711 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4712 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4713 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4714 multiple values to extend the available space.
4718 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4720 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4721 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4723 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4726 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4727 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4728 undesirable limitations.
4729 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4731 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4732 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4733 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4734 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4735 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4736 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4737 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4740 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4742 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4743 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4744 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4746 The latter two were purportedly from
4747 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4750 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4751 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4752 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4755 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4756 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4759 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4760 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4761 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4762 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4764 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4765 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4766 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4769 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4770 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4771 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4772 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4773 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4774 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4777 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4779 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4780 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4783 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4784 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4786 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4787 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4788 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4789 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4792 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4793 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4796 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4797 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4798 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4799 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4800 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4801 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4802 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4806 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4807 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4808 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4809 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4812 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4813 under VC++ build system.
4816 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4817 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4820 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4822 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4823 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4824 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4825 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4826 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4828 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4829 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4830 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4832 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4835 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4836 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4839 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4840 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4842 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4845 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4846 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4848 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4849 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4852 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4853 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to

4859 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4862 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4865 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4866 key into the same file any more.
4869 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4872 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4873 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4875 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4876 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4879 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4880 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4881 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4882 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4883 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4884 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4886 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4887 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4888 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4891 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4892 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4893 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4894 - add new function for parameter creation
4895 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4896 BN_BLINDING parameters
4897 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4898 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4899 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4903 *) Add support for DTLS.
4904 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4906 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4907 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4910 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4911 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4914 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4915 the apps/openssl applications.
4918 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4919 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4920 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4923 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4924 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4926 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4927 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4929 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4930 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4931 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4932 avoid this algorithm.)
4936 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4937 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4938 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4941 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4942 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4945 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4946 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4947 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4950 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4952 The blank line is mandatory.
4956 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4957 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4961 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4962 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4964 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4965 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4966 to support policy checking and print out.
4969 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4970 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4971 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4972 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4974 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4977 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4978 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4980 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4981 implementation contributed by IBM.
4982 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4984 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4985 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4986 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4987 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4989 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4990 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4992 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4993 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4994 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4995 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4996 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4997 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5000 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5001 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5002 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5003 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5004 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5005 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5006 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5009 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5012 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5013 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5014 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5015 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5016 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5017 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5018 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5019 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5022 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5023 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5024 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5025 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5028 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5031 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5034 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5035 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5036 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5037 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5038 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5039 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5040 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5043 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5044 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5047 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5048 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5049 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5052 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5053 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5054 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5058 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5059 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5062 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5063 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5064 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5065 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5068 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5069 initialised value as BN_new().
5070 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5072 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5075 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5076 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5077 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5078 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5079 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5080 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5081 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5082 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5083 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5084 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5085 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5086 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5087 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5088 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5089 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5091 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5092 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5093 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5094 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5097 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5098 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5099 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5100 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5101 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5102 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5103 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5104 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5105 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5108 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5109 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5110 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5111 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5112 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5113 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5114 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5117 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5118 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5119 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5120 these have been updated also.
5123 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5124 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5125 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5126 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5127 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5131 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5132 structure of type "other".
5135 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5136 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5137 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5138 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5139 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5140 situation in the script.
5141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5143 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5144 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5145 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5146 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5147 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5148 used as premaster secret.
5149 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5151 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5152 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5153 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5155 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5156 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5158 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5159 control of the error stack.
5162 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5165 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5166 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5167 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5168 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5171 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5172 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5173 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5176 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5177 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5178 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5182 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5183 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5184 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5185 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5188 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5189 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5190 the following flags are defined:
5192 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5193 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5194 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5197 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5198 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5199 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5200 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5204 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5205 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5206 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5207 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5208 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5211 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5212 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5213 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5216 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5217 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5218 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5219 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5220 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5221 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5224 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5228 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5231 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5234 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5237 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5238 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5239 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5240 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5241 default implementation more easily.
5244 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5248 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5249 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5252 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5253 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5254 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5255 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5257 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5258 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5259 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5260 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5263 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5264 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5268 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5269 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5270 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5271 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5272 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5273 scalar * generator).
5274 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5276 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5277 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5278 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5282 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5283 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5284 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5285 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5286 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5287 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5288 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5289 linker additions, eg;
5290 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5293 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5294 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5295 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5298 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5299 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5300 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5304 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5305 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5306 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5307 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5310 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5311 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5312 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5313 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5314 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5315 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5316 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5317 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5318 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5319 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5321 Example for using the new callback interface:
5323 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5327 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5329 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5330 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5331 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5332 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5333 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5334 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5339 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5340 available to TLS with the number defined in
5341 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5344 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5345 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5347 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5348 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5349 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5350 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5352 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5353 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5355 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5356 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5360 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5361 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5364 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5365 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5366 and a macro that behave like
5367 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5369 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5372 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5373 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5374 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5376 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5378 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5381 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5382 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5383 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5384 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5386 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5387 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5388 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5389 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5390 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5391 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5392 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5393 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5395 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5396 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5399 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5400 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5402 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5403 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5404 files while avoiding the low level API.
5406 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5407 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5408 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5409 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5411 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5412 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5413 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5414 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5415 instead of the low level API.
5418 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5419 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5420 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5421 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5422 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5425 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5426 down to the template encoder.
5429 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5430 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5433 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5434 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5435 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5436 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5438 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5439 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5441 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5442 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5444 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5445 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5448 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5449 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5450 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5453 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5454 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5456 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5457 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5459 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5460 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5463 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5467 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5468 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5469 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5470 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5471 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5472 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5474 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5475 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5478 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5479 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5480 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5481 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5482 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5483 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5484 various internal method names.)
5486 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5487 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5489 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5490 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5492 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5493 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5495 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5496 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5497 methods are undefined.
5499 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5500 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5502 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5503 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5504 length of the modulus.
5506 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5507 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5509 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5510 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5512 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5513 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5515 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5516 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5517 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5520 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5521 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5522 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5523 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5525 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5526 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5527 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5528 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5530 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5531 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5533 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5534 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5535 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5536 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5537 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5539 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5540 This applies to the following functions:
5545 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5546 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5548 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5549 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5553 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5558 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5560 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5561 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5562 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5563 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5564 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5566 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5567 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5569 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5570 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5571 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5573 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5574 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5576 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5577 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5578 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5579 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5580 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5582 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5584 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5585 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5586 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5587 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5588 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5589 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5590 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5591 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5592 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5593 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5594 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5595 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5597 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5600 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5601 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5602 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5603 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5605 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5606 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5607 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5608 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5613 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5614 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5615 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5616 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5617 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5619 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5620 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5621 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5622 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5623 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5624 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5625 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5626 adding different types of curves.
5627 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5629 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5630 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5631 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5634 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5635 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5637 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5638 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5639 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5640 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5642 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5644 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5645 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5647 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5648 library. Most notably,
5649 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5650 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5651 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5652 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5653 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5654 extracted before the specific public key;
5655 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5656 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5658 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5659 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5661 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5662 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5663 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5664 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5666 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5667 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5668 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5670 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5671 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5672 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5673 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5674 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5675 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5679 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5681 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5683 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5685 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5686 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5687 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5690 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5691 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5692 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5695 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5698 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5699 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5702 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5703 run algorithm test programs.
5706 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5709 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5710 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5711 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5712 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5713 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5716 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5717 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5720 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5722 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5723 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5724 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5726 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5727 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5729 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5730 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5732 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5733 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5734 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5736 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5737 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5738 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5739 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5740 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5741 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5742 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5745 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5747 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5748 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5750 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5751 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5752 undesirable limitations.
5753 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5755 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5757 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5758 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5759 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5761 The latter two were purportedly from
5762 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5765 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5766 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5767 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5770 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5771 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5774 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5776 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5777 module in FIPS mode.
5780 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5783 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5784 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5785 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5786 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5789 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5791 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5792 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5793 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5794 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5795 the difference induced by this change.
5798 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5800 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5801 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5802 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5803 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5804 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5806 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5807 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5808 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5810 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5811 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5814 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5815 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5816 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5817 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5821 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5822 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5823 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5824 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5825 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5827 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5828 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5829 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5830 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5831 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5832 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5834 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5836 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5837 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5838 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5839 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5840 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5843 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5847 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5848 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5849 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5852 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5853 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5854 structures constant.
5857 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5859 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5862 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5863 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5864 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5865 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5866 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5867 some needed definitions.
5870 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5873 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5874 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5875 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5876 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5879 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5881 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5882 server and client random values. Previously
5883 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5884 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5886 This change has negligible security impact because:
5888 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5891 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5894 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5895 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5898 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5901 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5903 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5906 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5907 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5908 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5910 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5913 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5914 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5917 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5918 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5919 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5921 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5924 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5925 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5926 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5930 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5931 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5932 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5933 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5935 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5936 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5937 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5938 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5942 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5944 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5945 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5946 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5947 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5948 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5951 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5954 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5955 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5957 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5958 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5959 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5960 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5961 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5962 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5963 rather than being initialized to 1.
5966 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5968 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5969 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5970 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5972 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5974 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5976 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5977 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5978 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5979 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5980 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5981 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5984 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5985 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5986 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5987 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5988 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5992 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5993 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5994 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5995 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5996 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5999 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6000 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6001 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6005 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6006 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6008 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6011 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6013 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6015 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6016 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6018 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6020 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6021 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6025 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6026 exiting on the first error in a request.
6029 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6030 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6034 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6035 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6036 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6037 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6039 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6040 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6043 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6044 blocks during encryption.
6047 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6048 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6049 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6050 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6054 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6055 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6056 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6057 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6058 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6062 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6064 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6065 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6066 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6067 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6070 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6071 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6072 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6073 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6074 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6076 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6077 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6078 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6079 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6080 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6081 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6082 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6083 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6084 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6087 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6088 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6089 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6090 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6093 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6094 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6097 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6099 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6100 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6101 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6102 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6103 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6105 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6106 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6107 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6109 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6110 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6111 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6112 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6113 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6115 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6116 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not

6120 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6121 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6123 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6124 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6125 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6126 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6127 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6129 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6130 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6131 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6132 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6134 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6136 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6138 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6140 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6141 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6142 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6143 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6147 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6148 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6150 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6151 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6154 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6155 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6156 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6157 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6160 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6161 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6162 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6163 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6164 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6165 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6166 followup to PR #377.
6169 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6170 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6173 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6174 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6175 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

6185 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

6197 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6198 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6199 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6200 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6201 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6202 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6204 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6205 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6206 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6207 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6208 have to be made anyway).
6211 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6212 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6213 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6216 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6217 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6218 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6221 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6222 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6223 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

6226 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6227 edit numbers of the version.

6319 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

6334 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6335 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6337 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6338 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6339 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6341 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6342 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6343 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6344 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6346 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6347 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6348 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6351 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6352 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6353 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6354 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6355 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6356 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6357 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6358 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6361 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6362 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6363 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6366 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6367 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6368 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6369 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.

6372 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6373 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6375 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6376 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6379 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6380 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6381 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6382 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6383 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6384 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6387 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6388 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6389 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6392 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6393 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6396 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6397 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6398 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6399 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6400 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6401 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6402 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6405 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6406 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6407 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6408 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6409 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6410 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6413 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6414 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6415 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6416 declaration has been changed from
6419 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6420 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6421 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6422 has been changed into
6423 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6425 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6426 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6427 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6429 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6430 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6432 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6433 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6434 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6435 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6436 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6437 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6438 always load it have also been added.
6441 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6442 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6443 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6445 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6447 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6448 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6449 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6451 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6452 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6453 command line option can be used to specify an
6457 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6458 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6461 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6462 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6463 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6466 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6467 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6468 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6469 to work with the new engine framework.
6470 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6472 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6473 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6474 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6475 to work with the new engine framework.
6478 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6479 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6480 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]

6486 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6487 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6488 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6490 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6492 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6493 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6495 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6496 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6498 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6499 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6500 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6503 *) Add new functions
6505 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6506 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6507 These are similar to
6510 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6511 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6512 still in the error queue.
6513 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6515 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6517 default_algorithms = ALL
6518 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6521 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6524 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6527 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6528 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6529 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6530 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6532 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6533 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6535 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6536 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6538 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6539 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6542 *) New functions/macros
6544 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6545 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6546 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6547 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6549 to request calling a callback function
6551 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6552 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6554 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6555 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6556 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6557 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6558 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6559 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6560 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6561 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6562 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6563 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6565 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6566 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6569 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6570 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6571 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6572 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6573 the configuration scripts.
6575 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6576 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6577 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6579 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6580 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6582 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6583 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6584 when reusing an existing buffer.
6587 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6588 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6591 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6592 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6595 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6596 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6597 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6598 has the same effect.
6599 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6601 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6602 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6603 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6604 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6605 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6606 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6609 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6610 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6611 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6612 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6614 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6615 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6616 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6617 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6619 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6620 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6623 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6624 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6625 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6626 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6627 default), and then completely removed.
6630 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6631 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6632 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6633 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6634 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6635 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6636 particular extension is supported.
6639 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6640 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6643 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6644 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6645 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6646 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6647 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6648 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6649 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6650 requires the destination to be valid.
6652 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6653 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6656 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6657 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6658 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6661 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6662 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6664 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6665 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6666 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6667 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6668 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6669 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6670 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6671 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6672 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6673 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6674 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6675 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6676 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6677 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6678 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6679 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6680 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6681 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6682 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6686 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6689 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6690 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6691 become part of libeay.num as well.
6694 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6695 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6696 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6697 false once a handshake has been completed.
6698 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6699 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6700 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6701 client has followed the request.)
6704 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6705 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6706 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6707 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6709 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6710 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6711 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6714 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6717 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6718 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6719 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6722 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6723 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6726 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6727 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6728 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6729 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6732 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6733 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6734 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6735 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6736 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6737 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6740 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6741 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6742 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6743 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6744 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6745 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6746 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6747 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6750 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6751 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6754 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6757 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6758 md_data void pointer.
6761 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6762 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6763 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6764 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6765 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6766 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6769 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6770 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6771 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6772 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6773 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6774 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6775 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6776 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6777 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6778 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6779 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6780 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6781 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6782 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6783 rather than letting it slide.
6785 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6786 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6787 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6790 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6791 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6792 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6793 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6794 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6795 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6796 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6797 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6798 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6801 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6802 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6803 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6804 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6805 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6807 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6810 *) Add EVP test program.
6813 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6816 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6817 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6818 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6819 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6820 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6823 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6824 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6825 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6826 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6827 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6828 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6829 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6831 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6832 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6833 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6838 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6839 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6840 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6841 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6842 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6846 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6847 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6848 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6849 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6852 des_key_schedule ks;
6854 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6855 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6857 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6860 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6861 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6862 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6863 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6864 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6865 functions prevents this.
6868 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6871 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6872 correct _ecb suffix.
6875 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6876 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6877 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6878 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6879 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6882 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6885 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6886 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6887 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6888 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6890 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6891 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6893 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6894 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6895 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6896 via Richard Levitte]
6898 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6899 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6900 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6901 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6904 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6907 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6908 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

6922 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6923 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6925 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6926 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6927 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6928 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6929 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6930 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6933 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6934 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6937 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6938 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6939 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6940 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6942 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6943 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6944 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6945 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6946 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6947 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6951 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6952 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6953 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6954 and interrupts/cancellations.
6957 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6958 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6961 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6962 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6963 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6965 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6966 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6970 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6971 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6972 than this minimum value is recommended.
6975 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6976 that are easily reachable.
6979 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6980 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6982 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6984 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6985 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6986 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6987 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6990 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6991 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6992 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6995 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6996 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6997 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6998 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6999 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7000 internally such as S/MIME.
7002 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7003 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7004 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7006 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7010 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7011 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7012 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7013 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7015 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7017 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7019 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7020 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7021 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7025 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7026 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7027 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7028 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7029 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7030 a window system and the like.
7033 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7034 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7037 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7038 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7039 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7040 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7041 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7042 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7043 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7044 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7045 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7049 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7050 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7054 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7055 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7056 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7057 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7058 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7059 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7060 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7061 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7064 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7065 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7066 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7067 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7068 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7069 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7070 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7071 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7072 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7073 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7074 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7075 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7076 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7077 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7078 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7079 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7080 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7083 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7084 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7085 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7086 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7087 internal engine_int.h header.
7090 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7091 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7092 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7093 modify their own ones).
7096 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7097 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7098 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7099 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7100 later on via ctrl() commands.
7101 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7102 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7103 structural references.
7104 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7105 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7106 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7107 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7108 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7109 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7110 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7111 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7112 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7113 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7114 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7115 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7118 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7119 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7120 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7121 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7122 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7123 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7124 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7125 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7128 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7129 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7132 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7133 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7136 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7137 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7138 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7139 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7140 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7141 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7142 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7145 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7146 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7147 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7148 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7149 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7151 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7152 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7156 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7158 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7159 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7160 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7162 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7163 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7165 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7166 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7167 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7169 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7170 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7172 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7173 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7175 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7177 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7178 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7179 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7182 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7183 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7186 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7187 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7188 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7189 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7190 is 40 of more characters long.
7193 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7194 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7198 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7199 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7202 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7203 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7207 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7209 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7210 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7213 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7215 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7216 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7217 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7219 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7220 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7222 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7225 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7229 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7230 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7231 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7232 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7234 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7236 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7237 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7239 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7240 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7241 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7242 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7243 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7244 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7246 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7247 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7249 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7250 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7252 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7253 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7255 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7256 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7257 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7258 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7260 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7261 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7263 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7264 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7266 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7267 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7268 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7269 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7270 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7273 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7274 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7275 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7276 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7279 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7280 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7281 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7285 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7286 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7287 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7288 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7289 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7290 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7291 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7292 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7296 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7297 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7300 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7301 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7302 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7303 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7306 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7307 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7308 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7309 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7310 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7311 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7312 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7313 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7314 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7315 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7318 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7319 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7320 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7321 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7322 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7323 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7324 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7325 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7327 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7328 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7329 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7330 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7333 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7334 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7335 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7336 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7338 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7339 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7340 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7341 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7342 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7346 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7347 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7348 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7349 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7353 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7354 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7355 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7358 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7359 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7360 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7361 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7362 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7365 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7368 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7369 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7370 option to ocsp utility.
7373 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7374 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7375 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7376 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7377 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7378 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7379 the request is nonce-less.
7382 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7383 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7384 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7387 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7388 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7389 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7392 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7393 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7394 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7395 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7396 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7399 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7400 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7404 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7405 additional certificates supplied.
7408 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7409 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7413 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7414 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7417 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7418 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7419 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7420 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7421 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7422 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7423 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7424 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7425 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7427 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7428 request to response.
7431 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7432 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7433 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7434 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7435 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7436 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7437 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7438 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7439 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7440 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7441 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7444 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7445 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7446 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7447 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7450 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7451 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7453 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7454 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7455 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7458 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7459 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7460 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7461 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7462 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7464 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7465 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7466 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7469 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7470 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7471 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7472 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7473 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7474 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7475 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7476 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7478 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7479 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7480 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7481 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7482 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7483 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7486 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7487 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7488 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7489 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7490 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7491 printout format cleaned up.
7494 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7495 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7496 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7497 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7498 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7499 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7500 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7501 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7504 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7505 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7506 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7507 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7508 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7509 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7510 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7511 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7514 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7515 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7516 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7517 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7519 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7521 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7522 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7523 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7524 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7527 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7528 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7529 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7530 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7532 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7534 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7535 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7536 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7537 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7539 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7540 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7542 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7543 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7544 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7547 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7548 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7549 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7552 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7553 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7554 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7555 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7556 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7557 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7558 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7559 functions are provided:
7561 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7562 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7563 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7564 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7566 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7567 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7568 extended allocation function is enabled.
7569 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7570 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7571 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7573 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7574 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7575 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7576 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7577 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7580 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7581 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7582 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7584 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7585 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7586 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7589 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7590 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7591 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7592 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7593 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7594 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7595 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7596 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7597 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7600 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7601 provide utility functions which an application needing
7602 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7603 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7604 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7606 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7607 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7608 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7609 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7610 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7611 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7612 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7613 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7614 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7616 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7617 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7618 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7619 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7622 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7623 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7624 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7625 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7626 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7627 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7628 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7629 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7630 will be added elsewhere.
7633 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7634 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7635 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7636 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7639 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7640 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7641 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7642 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7643 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7644 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7645 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7646 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7647 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7648 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7649 to produce the required SET OF.
7652 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7653 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7654 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7657 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7658 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7659 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7660 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7661 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7662 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7665 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7666 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7667 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7670 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7671 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7672 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7675 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7676 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7677 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7678 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7679 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7682 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7683 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7686 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7687 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7688 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7689 certificates and CRLs.
7692 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7693 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7694 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7697 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7698 entries for variables.
7701 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7702 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7703 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7704 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7707 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7708 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7709 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7710 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7711 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7712 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7715 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7716 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7718 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7719 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7720 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7723 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7727 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7728 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7729 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7730 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7731 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7732 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7735 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7738 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7739 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7740 for now but they will eventually go away.
7743 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7744 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7745 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7746 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7747 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7748 has also been converted to the new form.
7751 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7752 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7753 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7754 for negative moduli.
7757 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7758 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7761 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7765 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7766 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7767 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7768 type-specific callbacks.
7771 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7773 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7774 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7776 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7777 in sections depending on the subject.
7780 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7784 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7785 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7786 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7787 be handled deterministically).
7788 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7790 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7791 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7792 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7795 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7798 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7799 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7800 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7801 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7802 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7805 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7806 sign of the number in question.
7808 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7810 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7811 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7812 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7813 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7814 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7817 *) New function BN_swap.
7820 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7821 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7822 results on negative inputs.
7825 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7826 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7827 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7830 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7831 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7832 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7833 and add new functions:
7842 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7846 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7848 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7849 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7851 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7852 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7853 be reduced modulo m.
7854 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7857 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7858 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7859 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7861 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7862 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7863 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7864 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7865 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7866 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7871 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7872 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7873 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7874 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7875 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7877 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7878 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7879 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7883 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7886 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7887 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7890 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7891 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7892 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7893 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7897 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7900 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7903 *) Add the following functions:
7905 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7907 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7909 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7911 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7912 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7913 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7914 libraries unless it's really needed.
7916 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7917 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7918 declarations (they differed!).
7921 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7924 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7927 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7930 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7931 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7934 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7935 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7936 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7938 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7939 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7942 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7945 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7948 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7951 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7952 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7953 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7955 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7956 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7957 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7958 different shared library filenames on each system.
7961 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7964 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7965 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7966 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7968 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7971 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7972 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7973 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7974 binary backward compatibility.
7975 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7976 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7977 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7981 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7982 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7983 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7984 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7988 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7991 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7992 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7993 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7994 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7998 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8001 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8003 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8004 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8005 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8007 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8009 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8011 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8012 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8015 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8017 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8019 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8020 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8022 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8023 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8027 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8028 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8032 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8033 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8034 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8035 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8037 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8038 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8041 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8043 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8044 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8045 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8046 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8049 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8050 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8051 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8052 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8053 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8055 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8056 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8057 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8058 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8059 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8060 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8061 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8062 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8063 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8066 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8068 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8069 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8070 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8071 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8072 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8074 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8075 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8076 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8078 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8080 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8081 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8082 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8083 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8084 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8085 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8088 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8089 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8090 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8091 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8092 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8095 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8096 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8097 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8099 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8100 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8101 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8105 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8106 being properly terminated.
8109 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8110 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8111 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8112 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8114 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8115 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8116 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8117 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8118 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8119 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8120 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8122 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8124 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8125 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8128 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8129 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8130 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8131 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8132 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8133 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8134 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8135 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8137 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8138 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8139 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8140 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8141 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8143 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8144 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8147 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8149 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8150 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8151 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8153 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8155 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8156 and get fix the header length calculation.
8157 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8158 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8161 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8162 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8163 assertions could call abort()).
8164 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8166 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8168 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8169 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8170 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8172 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8174 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8175 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8176 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8179 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8183 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8184 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8185 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8187 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8188 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8189 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8190 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8191 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8195 *) Changes in security patch:
8197 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8198 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8199 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8202 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8203 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8204 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8205 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8206 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8208 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8210 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8212 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8213 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8214 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8216 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8217 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8218 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8220 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8221 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8222 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8224 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8226 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8227 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8228 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8230 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8231 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8233 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8234 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8235 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8236 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8237 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8238 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8241 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8242 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8243 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8244 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8247 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8250 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8251 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8252 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8253 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8254 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8255 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8257 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8258 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8259 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8260 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8261 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8264 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8265 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8266 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8267 BN_generate_prime().)
8269 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8270 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8271 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8275 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8276 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8279 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8280 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8281 when using non-blocking I/O.
8282 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8284 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8285 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8287 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8288 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8291 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8292 configuration for the versions before that.
8293 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8295 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8296 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8297 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8298 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8301 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8302 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8303 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8306 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8310 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8311 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8312 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8314 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8315 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8317 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8318 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8319 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8320 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8321 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8322 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8323 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8326 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8327 using a local variable.
8328 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8330 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8331 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8332 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8334 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8337 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8338 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8340 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8341 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8342 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8344 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8346 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8347 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8348 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8349 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8352 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8356 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8357 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8358 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8359 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8360 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8362 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8363 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8364 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8366 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8367 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8368 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8370 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8371 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8372 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8373 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8375 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8376 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8377 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8379 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8381 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8382 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8384 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8386 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8387 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8388 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8389 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8391 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8392 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8393 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8394 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8396 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8397 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8399 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8400 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8401 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8404 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8405 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8406 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8408 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8410 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8411 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8412 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8413 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8414 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8415 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8416 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8419 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8420 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8421 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8422 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8424 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8425 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8426 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8427 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8428 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8429 the client will at least see that alert.
8432 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8436 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8437 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8438 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8440 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8441 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8442 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8443 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8446 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8447 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8448 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8450 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8451 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8452 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8453 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8454 may leak via logfiles.)
8456 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8457 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8458 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8459 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8463 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8464 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8467 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8468 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8469 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8470 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8471 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8474 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8475 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8477 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8478 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8479 followed by modular reduction.
8480 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8482 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8483 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8486 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8487 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8488 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8489 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8492 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8495 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8496 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8499 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8500 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8501 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8502 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8503 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8504 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8506 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8508 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8509 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8510 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8511 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8512 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8514 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8517 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8518 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8519 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8520 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8521 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8522 to allow the necessary settings.
8525 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8526 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8527 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8528 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8531 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8532 dh->length and always used
8534 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8536 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8537 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8538 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8539 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8540 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8545 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8547 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8553 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8554 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8555 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8556 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8558 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8559 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8560 always reject numbers >= n.
8563 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8564 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8565 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8566 variable) is not atomic.
8569 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8570 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8571 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8572 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8574 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8575 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8577 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8579 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8581 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8584 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8586 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8587 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8588 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8589 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8590 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8591 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8592 to traverse all of 'state'.
8594 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8595 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8596 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8598 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8599 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8601 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8602 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8603 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8604 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8605 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8606 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8607 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8608 further strengthens the PRNG.
8611 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8614 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8615 an error message in this case.
8618 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8621 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8622 positive and less than q.
8625 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8626 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8628 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8630 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8631 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8635 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8637 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8638 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8639 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8640 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8641 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8642 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8643 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8646 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8647 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8648 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8649 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8651 Both problems are now fixed.
8654 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8655 (previously it was 1024).
8658 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8659 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8662 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8665 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8666 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8667 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8670 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8671 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8672 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8673 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8674 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8675 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8676 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8677 environment variables.
8679 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8680 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8681 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8684 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8685 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8686 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8687 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8688 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8689 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8692 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8696 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8698 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8699 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8701 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8702 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8703 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8704 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8708 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8709 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8710 amount of data available.
8711 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8712 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8714 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8715 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8716 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8717 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8720 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8721 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8725 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8726 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8727 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8728 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8731 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8734 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8737 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8738 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8740 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8742 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8743 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8744 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8745 (but broken) behaviour.
8748 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8750 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8752 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8753 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8756 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8760 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8761 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8763 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8766 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8767 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8768 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8770 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8771 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8772 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8775 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8776 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8779 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8780 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8782 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8784 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8786 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8787 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8788 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8789 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8792 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8795 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8796 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8797 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8799 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8802 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8804 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8805 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8806 but the code is actually correct.
8809 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8810 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8811 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8812 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8813 and leaves the highest bit random.
8814 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8816 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8817 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8818 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8819 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8820 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8821 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8822 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8825 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8828 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8829 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8832 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8833 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8834 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8835 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8839 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8840 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8841 and break the signature.
8843 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8845 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8849 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8850 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8851 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8852 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8853 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8856 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8857 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8859 *) ./config script fixes.
8860 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8862 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8865 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8866 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8867 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8868 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8869 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8871 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8872 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8875 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8876 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8879 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8880 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8881 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8882 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8884 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8885 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8887 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8888 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8889 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8890 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8891 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8893 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8896 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8899 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8902 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8905 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8906 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8909 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8910 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8911 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8912 result of the server certificate verification.)
8915 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8916 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8917 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8921 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8922 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8923 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8924 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8925 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8926 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8927 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8928 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8931 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8932 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8933 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8934 happening the other way round.
8937 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8938 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8941 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8942 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8943 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8944 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8947 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8948 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8950 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8952 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8953 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8954 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8957 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8959 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8961 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8965 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8967 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8968 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8969 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8970 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8971 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8973 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8974 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8978 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8981 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8983 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8984 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8985 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8986 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8987 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8988 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8989 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8990 by the Finished messages.
8993 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8994 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8996 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8997 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8998 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8999 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9000 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9004 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9005 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9006 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9007 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9008 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9009 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9010 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9011 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9012 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9016 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9017 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9018 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9019 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9021 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9022 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9023 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9024 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9025 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9028 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9029 been tested well enough.
9032 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9033 it can return incorrect results.
9034 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9035 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9038 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9039 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9040 include zero length content when signing messages.
9043 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9044 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9047 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9050 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9054 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9055 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9056 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9057 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9058 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9059 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9062 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9063 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9065 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9066 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9068 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9069 random number < q in the DSA library.
9072 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9073 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9074 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9075 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9076 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9077 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9078 just makes things more complicated.)
9081 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9085 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9086 work better on such systems.
9087 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9089 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9090 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9091 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9094 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9095 if there was more than one signature.
9096 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9098 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9099 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9100 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9101 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9104 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9105 rather than always using the current time.
9108 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9109 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9110 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9111 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9112 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9113 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9115 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9116 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9118 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9120 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9121 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9122 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9123 the same hash value.
9125 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9126 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9127 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9128 with X509_STORE internally.
9130 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9131 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9133 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9134 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9135 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9136 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9137 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9138 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9139 entirely (maybe later...).
9141 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9143 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9144 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9145 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9146 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9147 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9148 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9149 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9150 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9152 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9153 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9155 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9156 to customise the verify behaviour.
9159 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9160 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9163 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9164 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9165 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9166 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9167 request is improperly encoded.
9170 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9171 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9174 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9175 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9177 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9178 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9182 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9183 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9184 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9187 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9188 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9189 BIO/fp routines also added.
9192 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9193 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9195 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9196 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9197 demos/state_machine.
9200 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9201 generation and verification.
9204 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9205 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9206 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9207 encode and decode it manually.
9210 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9212 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9214 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9215 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9216 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9217 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9219 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9220 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9221 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9222 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9223 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9226 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9229 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9230 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9231 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9233 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9234 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9235 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9236 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9237 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9238 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9239 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9240 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9242 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9243 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9245 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9247 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9248 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9249 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9253 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9254 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9255 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9256 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9260 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9262 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9265 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9266 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9267 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9268 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9269 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9270 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9271 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9272 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9273 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9274 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9275 short or long names are found.
9278 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9279 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9281 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9282 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9283 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9284 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9286 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9287 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9288 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9289 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9292 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9293 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9294 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9297 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9298 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9299 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9300 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9301 to allow the various flags to be set.
9304 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9305 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9306 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9307 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9308 dates to be checked.
9311 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9312 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9313 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9316 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9317 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9318 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9321 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9322 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9325 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9326 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9327 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9328 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9329 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9330 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9333 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9334 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9338 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9342 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9343 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9344 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9345 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9346 form signing output easier to verify.
9349 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9352 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9353 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9354 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9355 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9356 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9357 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9358 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9359 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9360 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9361 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9364 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9366 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9367 the syntax given in objects.README.
9368 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9370 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9373 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9374 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9375 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9376 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9377 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9378 consistent name changes.
9381 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9384 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9385 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9386 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9387 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9390 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9391 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9392 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9396 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9397 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9398 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9399 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9402 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9403 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9404 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9405 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9406 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9407 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9408 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9409 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9410 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9411 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9412 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9415 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9416 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9417 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9418 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9419 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9420 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9421 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9422 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9423 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9424 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9427 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9428 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9429 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9430 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9432 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9433 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9434 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9435 omit any duplicate addresses.
9438 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9439 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9442 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9443 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9444 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9445 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9446 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9449 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9451 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9452 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9453 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9454 Free => OPENSSL_free
9457 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9458 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9461 *) CygWin32 support.
9462 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9464 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9465 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9466 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9467 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9468 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9472 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9473 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9474 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9475 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9476 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9477 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9478 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9481 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9482 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9483 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9484 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9485 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9486 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9487 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9488 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9489 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9490 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9491 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9494 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9495 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9496 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9497 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9498 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9500 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9501 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9502 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9503 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9504 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9506 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9509 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9510 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9511 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9512 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9514 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9516 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9519 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9520 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9521 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9524 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9525 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9526 any installed hardware versions can.
9529 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9530 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9531 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9535 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9536 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9537 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9538 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9539 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9541 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9542 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9545 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9546 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9549 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9550 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9551 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9555 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9558 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9559 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9560 but no ssl client purpose.
9561 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9563 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9564 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9565 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9566 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9567 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9568 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9569 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9570 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9571 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9572 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9573 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9576 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9577 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9578 be obtained from the error queue.
9581 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9582 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9583 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9584 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9587 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9590 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9591 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9592 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9593 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9594 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9597 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9598 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9599 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9600 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9601 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9604 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9605 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9606 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9608 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9610 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9611 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9612 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9613 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9614 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9615 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9616 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9617 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9618 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9619 or "the configuration storage API"...
9621 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9623 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9624 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9626 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9628 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9630 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9631 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9632 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9633 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9634 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9635 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9636 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9638 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9639 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9642 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9643 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9644 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9645 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9648 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9649 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9650 them in a portable way.
9651 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9653 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9655 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9657 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9658 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9660 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9661 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9662 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9665 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9666 was larger than the MD block size.
9667 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9669 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9670 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9671 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9672 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9676 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9677 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9678 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9680 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9682 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9684 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9685 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9686 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9687 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9688 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9689 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9691 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9692 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9694 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9695 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9698 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9701 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9702 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9704 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9705 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9706 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9707 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9710 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9711 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9712 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9713 does not suppress any output.
9716 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9717 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9718 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9719 with all the associated security issues.
9721 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9722 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9723 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9724 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9725 use the value in the default purpose.
9728 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9729 and fix a memory leak.
9732 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9733 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9734 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9735 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9738 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9739 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9740 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9741 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9744 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9745 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9746 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9749 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9750 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9753 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9754 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9758 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9759 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9762 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9763 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9764 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9767 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9768 number generation fails.
9771 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9774 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9775 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9777 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9780 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9781 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9783 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9784 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9786 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9788 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9789 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9792 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9793 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9795 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9796 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9799 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9800 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9801 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9802 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9803 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9804 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9806 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9807 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9808 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9812 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9813 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9814 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9815 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9816 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9817 counter, some don't.)
9818 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9819 counters or duplicate objects.
9822 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9823 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9826 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9827 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9828 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9830 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9831 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9832 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9836 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9837 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9840 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9841 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9842 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9846 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9847 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9848 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9851 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9852 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9853 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9854 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9855 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9856 should work without changes.
9859 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9860 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9861 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9862 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9863 must be defined. E.g.,
9864 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9865 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9866 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9867 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9869 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9873 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9874 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9875 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9878 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9879 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9880 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9881 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9884 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9885 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9886 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9887 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9888 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9889 is prompted for as usual.
9892 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9893 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9894 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9895 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9897 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9898 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9899 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9900 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9903 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9906 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9910 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9913 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9916 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9920 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9923 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9926 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9927 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9930 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9931 options to produce them.
9934 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9935 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9938 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9942 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9943 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9944 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9945 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9946 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9947 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9948 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9951 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9954 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9955 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9956 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9959 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9960 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9962 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9963 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9966 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9967 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9968 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9972 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9973 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9975 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9976 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9977 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9978 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9979 generation becomes much faster.
9981 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9982 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9983 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9984 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9985 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9986 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9987 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9988 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9989 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9990 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9993 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9994 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9995 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9996 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9997 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9998 trial division stage.
10001 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10005 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10008 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10011 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10012 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10013 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10017 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10018 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10019 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10022 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10023 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10024 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10025 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10027 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10028 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10031 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10034 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10035 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10036 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10037 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10040 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10041 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10042 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10045 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10046 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10047 (instead of parameters) in future.
10050 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10051 when a new cipher list is set.
10054 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10055 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10058 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10059 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10060 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10062 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10063 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10064 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10065 an error is flagged.
10067 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10068 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10069 the readability was also increased :-)
10070 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10072 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10073 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10074 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10075 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10079 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10080 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10083 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10084 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10085 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10086 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10089 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10090 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10091 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10092 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10093 because they handle more complex structures.)
10096 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10097 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10098 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10099 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10101 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10102 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10103 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10104 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10105 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10106 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10107 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10110 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10111 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10112 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10113 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10114 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10117 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10120 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10121 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10122 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10123 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10124 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10127 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10131 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10132 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10133 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10134 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10137 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10140 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10141 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10142 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10143 international characters are used.
10145 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10146 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10147 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10151 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10152 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10153 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10156 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10157 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10158 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10159 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10160 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10161 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10163 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10164 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10165 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10166 be handled by the string table functions.
10168 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10169 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10170 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10171 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10172 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10176 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10177 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10178 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10179 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10180 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10182 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10183 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10184 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10185 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10188 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10189 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10190 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10191 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10192 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10196 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10197 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10198 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10199 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10200 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10201 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10202 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10203 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10205 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10206 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10207 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10210 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10211 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10212 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10213 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10214 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10215 support to pkcs8 application.
10218 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10219 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10220 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10221 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10222 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10223 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10226 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10227 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10228 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10229 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10230 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10234 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10235 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10236 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10237 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10241 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10242 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10243 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10244 and any application specific purposes.
10246 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10247 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10248 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10249 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10250 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10251 if the certificate is self signed.
10254 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10255 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10258 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10259 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10260 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10261 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10264 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10265 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10266 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10267 Update documentation.
10270 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10271 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10272 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10273 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10274 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10277 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10279 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10281 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10282 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10283 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10284 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10285 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10286 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10287 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10288 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10289 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10290 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10292 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10294 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10295 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10296 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10297 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10298 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10300 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10301 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10302 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10303 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10304 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10305 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10306 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10307 request additional information:
10308 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10309 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10311 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10312 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10313 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10316 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10317 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10319 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10320 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10323 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10324 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10326 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10327 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10328 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10332 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10333 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10334 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10336 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10337 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10338 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10339 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10340 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10341 included in OpenSSL.
10344 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10345 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10346 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10347 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10348 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10349 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10352 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10356 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10357 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10358 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10359 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10360 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10364 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10368 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10369 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10370 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10371 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10372 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10373 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10374 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10375 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10376 be maintained manually.
10378 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10379 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10380 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10381 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10382 work because people forget to call this function]
10383 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10384 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10385 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10388 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10389 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10390 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10391 should be discouraged from doing it.
10394 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10395 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10396 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10397 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10398 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10399 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10402 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10403 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10404 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10406 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10407 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10408 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10410 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10411 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10412 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10413 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10414 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10415 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10417 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10418 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10419 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10421 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10422 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10425 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10426 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10427 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10428 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10431 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10434 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10435 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10436 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10437 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10438 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10439 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10440 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10441 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10442 keys so we should be OK.
10444 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10445 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10446 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10447 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10448 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10449 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10450 stay in the name of compatibility.
10452 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10453 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10454 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10456 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10457 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10458 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10459 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10460 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10461 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10465 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10466 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10467 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10468 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10469 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10470 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10471 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10472 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10473 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10474 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10475 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10476 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10477 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10480 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10483 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10484 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10485 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10486 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10487 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10488 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10489 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10490 openssl verify ss.pem
10491 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10492 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10496 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10497 (and add it to external session representation).
10498 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10499 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10500 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10501 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10502 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10503 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10505 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10507 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10508 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10509 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10510 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10512 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10513 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10514 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10517 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10518 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10519 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10523 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10524 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10525 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10527 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10528 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10529 certificate auxiliary information.
10532 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10536 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10537 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10538 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10539 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10540 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10541 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10542 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10545 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10546 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10549 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10550 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10551 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10552 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10555 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10558 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10559 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10562 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10563 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10564 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10565 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10566 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10567 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10568 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10569 using the new 'x509' options.
10571 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10572 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10573 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10574 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10578 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10579 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10580 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10581 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10582 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10585 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10586 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10587 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10588 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10589 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10590 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10591 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10592 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10593 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10594 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10597 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10598 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10599 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10600 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10601 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10602 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10603 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10606 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10607 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10608 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10609 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10610 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10611 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10612 openssl.cnf for more info.
10615 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10616 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10617 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10618 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10619 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10620 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10621 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10622 md should be large enough anyway.
10625 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10626 for handling the random seed file.
10628 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10630 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10633 x509 (when signing).
10634 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10635 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10636 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10638 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10639 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10640 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10641 that support '-rand'.
10644 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10645 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10648 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10649 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10652 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10653 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10654 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10655 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10659 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10660 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10661 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10662 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10665 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10666 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10667 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10668 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10669 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10670 print out all the purposes.
10673 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10677 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10678 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10679 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10680 single function call.
10683 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10684 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10687 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10688 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10689 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10692 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10693 when producing the local key id.
10694 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10696 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10697 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10698 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10702 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10703 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10704 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10705 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10708 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10709 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10710 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10711 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10713 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10714 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10715 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10716 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10718 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10719 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10720 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10721 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10722 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10723 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10724 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10725 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10726 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10727 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10728 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10729 trivial: move one line.
10730 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10732 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10733 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10734 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10735 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10736 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10737 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10738 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10739 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10740 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10741 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10742 with an event loop for example.
10745 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10746 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10747 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10748 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10749 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10750 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10751 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10752 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10753 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10756 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10757 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10758 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10759 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10760 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10761 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10764 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10765 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10766 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10767 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10769 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10770 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10771 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10772 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10776 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10777 (still largely untested)
10780 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10781 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10784 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10785 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10788 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10789 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10790 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10793 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10794 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10795 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10796 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10797 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10800 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10803 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10804 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10805 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10806 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10807 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10811 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10812 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10815 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10818 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10819 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10820 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10821 are otherwise ignored at present.
10824 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10825 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10826 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10827 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10828 copied until the next read.
10831 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10832 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10833 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10836 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10837 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10838 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10839 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10840 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10841 associated functions.
10844 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10845 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10846 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10847 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10848 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10849 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10850 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10851 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10852 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10856 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10857 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10858 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10859 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10862 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10863 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10864 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10865 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10866 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10870 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10871 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10875 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10876 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10877 extensions to be obtained and added.
10880 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10881 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10884 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10886 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10887 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10889 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10890 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10892 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10896 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10897 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10898 DH parameters contain its length).
10900 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10901 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10902 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10903 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10904 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10905 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10906 utter importance to use
10907 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10909 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10910 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10911 attacks may become possible!
10914 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10917 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10918 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10921 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10922 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10923 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10927 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10928 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10929 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10930 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10931 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10932 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10933 private key operations.
10936 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10939 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10940 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10942 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10943 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10944 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10945 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10946 the password callback is called.
10947 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10949 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10951 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10952 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10953 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10954 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10955 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10956 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10959 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10960 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10961 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10962 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10963 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10964 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10967 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10970 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10971 delete an unused file.
10974 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10975 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10976 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10977 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10980 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10981 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10982 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10986 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10987 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10988 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10990 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10991 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10992 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10993 comparison" warnings.
10994 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10997 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10998 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10999 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11002 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11003 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11005 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11006 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11008 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11009 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11010 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11012 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11013 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11014 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11015 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11016 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11018 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11020 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11021 The interface is as follows:
11022 Applications can use
11023 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11024 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11025 "off" is now the default.
11026 The library internally uses
11027 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11028 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11029 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11031 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11032 even the default) are now avoided.
11034 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11035 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11036 than just having a counter.
11038 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11040 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11044 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11045 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11046 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11047 Initial "mode" flags are:
11049 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11050 a single record has been written.
11051 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11052 retries use the same buffer location.
11053 (But all of the contents must be
11057 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11060 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11061 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11063 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11064 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11065 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11068 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11069 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11071 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11073 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11074 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11075 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11076 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11078 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11079 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11081 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11082 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11083 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11084 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11085 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11086 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11089 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11090 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11091 necessary function names.
11094 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11095 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11096 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11097 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11100 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11101 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11102 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11105 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11106 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11107 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11108 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11110 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11114 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11115 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11116 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11119 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11120 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11124 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11125 for the encoded length.
11126 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11128 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11131 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11132 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11133 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11134 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11137 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11138 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11139 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11141 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11142 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11143 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11144 unusual formatting.
11147 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11148 to use the new extension code.
11151 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11152 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11153 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11157 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11158 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11159 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11163 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11166 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11167 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11168 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11171 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11172 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11173 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11174 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11177 *) DES library cleanups.
11180 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11181 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11182 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11183 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11184 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11188 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11189 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11192 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11193 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11194 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11195 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11196 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11197 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11198 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11199 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11200 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11203 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11204 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11205 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11206 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11207 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11208 value doesn't matter.
11211 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11215 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11216 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11217 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11218 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11220 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11223 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11224 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11225 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11227 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11228 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11230 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11233 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11236 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11239 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11243 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11245 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11247 *) Updated some demos.
11248 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11250 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11253 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11256 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11259 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11260 instead of using a fixed path.
11263 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11266 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11270 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11272 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11273 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11274 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11276 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11277 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11278 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11279 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11280 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11281 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11282 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11283 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11284 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11285 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11288 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11289 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11292 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11293 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11294 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11295 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11296 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11298 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11301 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11302 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11303 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11306 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11309 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11310 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11311 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11312 key elements as negative integers.
11315 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11316 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11319 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11321 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11322 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11323 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11326 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11327 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11328 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11329 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11330 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11333 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11336 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11337 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11338 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11339 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11341 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11342 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11343 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11345 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11346 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11347 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11348 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11349 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11350 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11351 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11352 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11353 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11355 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11356 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11357 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11358 does not influence s as it used to.
11360 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11361 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11362 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11363 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11364 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11365 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11368 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11369 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11370 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11374 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11375 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11376 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11380 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11381 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11382 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11386 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11387 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11390 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11391 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11393 *) Support Mingw32.
11396 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11397 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11399 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11400 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11402 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11405 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11408 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11409 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11411 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11412 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11413 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11417 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11418 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11419 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11420 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11421 now it really counts the depth.
11424 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11425 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11426 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11427 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11428 didn't match the private key).
11430 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11431 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11432 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11435 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11438 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11442 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11443 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11444 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11447 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11450 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11451 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11452 such as /usr/local/bin.
11455 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11456 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11458 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11461 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11462 extension adding in x509 utility.
11465 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11468 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11472 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11475 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11476 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11477 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11478 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11479 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11480 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11481 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11482 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11483 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11484 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11487 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11490 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11491 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11494 *) Fix some race conditions.
11497 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11498 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11501 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11504 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11505 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11506 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11507 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11509 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11510 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11512 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11513 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11514 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11516 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11517 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11519 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11522 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11523 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11525 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11528 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11529 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11531 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11532 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11535 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11536 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11539 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11540 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11543 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11544 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11547 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11548 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11551 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11552 support typesafe stack.
11555 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11556 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11558 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11559 old X509V3 handling code.
11562 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11565 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11568 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11571 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11572 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11574 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11575 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11576 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11577 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11578 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11581 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11582 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11583 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11584 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11585 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11587 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11588 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11589 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11590 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11592 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11593 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11594 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11597 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11598 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11599 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11600 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11601 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11602 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11605 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11606 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11609 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11610 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11613 *) Tweaks to Configure
11614 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11616 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11620 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11623 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11624 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11627 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11628 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11629 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11632 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11635 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11636 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11639 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11640 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11641 to library startup routines.
11644 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11645 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11646 codes along the way.
11649 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11650 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11651 objects to objects.h
11654 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11655 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11658 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11659 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11661 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11662 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11663 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11665 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11666 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11667 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11669 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11670 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11671 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11674 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11676 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11677 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11680 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11681 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11682 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11683 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11684 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11686 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11687 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11688 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11690 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11692 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11694 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11696 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11697 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11699 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11700 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11701 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11702 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11704 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11707 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11708 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11709 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11710 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11713 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11714 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11715 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11718 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11719 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11720 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11721 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11722 installed as `perl').
11723 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11725 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11726 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11728 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11729 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11730 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11731 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11732 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11735 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11738 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11739 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11740 is horrible: I feel ill....
11743 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11744 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11745 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11746 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11749 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11750 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11752 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11753 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11754 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11755 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11757 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11758 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11759 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11760 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11761 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11762 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11764 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11766 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11767 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11769 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11770 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11772 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11775 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11776 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11780 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11781 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11782 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11783 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11784 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11785 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11786 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11787 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11788 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11789 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11790 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11792 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11795 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11796 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11797 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11798 for linking it into DSOs.
11799 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11801 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11805 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11806 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11807 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11808 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11809 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11812 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11813 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11814 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11815 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11816 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11817 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11818 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11820 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11821 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11822 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11826 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11827 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11828 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11829 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11832 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11833 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11834 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11835 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11836 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11840 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11841 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11842 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11843 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11844 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11846 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11847 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11848 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11850 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11851 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11853 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11854 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11855 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11856 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11857 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11860 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11861 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11862 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11863 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11864 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11865 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11866 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11869 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11871 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11872 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11875 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11876 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11878 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11879 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11882 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11883 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11884 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11885 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11886 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11888 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11889 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11890 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11891 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11892 no way to reconfigure them.
11893 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11894 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11895 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11896 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11897 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11898 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11900 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11901 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11902 recognized by the users.
11903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11905 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11906 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11907 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11908 already masked variable.
11909 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11911 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11912 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11914 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11915 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11916 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11917 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11919 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11920 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11921 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11923 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11924 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11925 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11926 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11927 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11928 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11929 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11930 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11934 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11935 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11936 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11938 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11939 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11943 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11944 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11946 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11947 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11948 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11949 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11952 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11955 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11956 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11958 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11961 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11962 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11965 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11966 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11969 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11970 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11971 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11972 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11973 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11974 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11975 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11978 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11979 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11981 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11982 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11983 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11984 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11985 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11987 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11988 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11989 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11992 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11993 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11997 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11998 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11999 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12001 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12002 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12003 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12004 build instructions.
12007 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12008 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12009 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12010 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12013 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12014 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12015 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12016 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12019 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12020 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12021 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12022 so it wasn't spotted.
12023 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12025 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12026 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12027 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12028 vectors if you have them.
12031 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12032 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12035 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12036 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12037 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12038 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12040 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12041 it will update them.
12044 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12045 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12046 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12047 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12048 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12049 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12050 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12053 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12054 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12055 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12056 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12057 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12058 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12059 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12060 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12061 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12062 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12064 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12065 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12066 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12067 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12068 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12071 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12075 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12076 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12078 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12079 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12081 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12082 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12085 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12086 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12088 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12089 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12091 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12094 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12098 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12099 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12100 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12101 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12103 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12106 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12109 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12112 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12113 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12116 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12117 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12121 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12122 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12125 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12126 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12127 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12130 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12131 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12132 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12133 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12134 properly to be processed.
12137 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12138 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12139 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12142 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12143 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12145 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12146 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12147 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12148 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12149 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12150 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12151 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12152 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12153 or delete all the .err files.
12156 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12157 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12158 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12159 to regenerate it if needed.
12160 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12161 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12163 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12164 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12166 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12167 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12168 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12169 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12170 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12173 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12174 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12176 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12177 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12179 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12180 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12181 error, but didn't set one).
12182 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12184 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12187 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12188 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12191 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12192 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12194 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12195 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12196 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12197 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12198 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12199 OID is not part of the table.
12202 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12203 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12206 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12209 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12210 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12214 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12215 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12217 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12219 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12221 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12222 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12224 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12225 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12227 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12228 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12230 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12231 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12234 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12235 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12238 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12239 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12241 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12242 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12244 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12245 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12247 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12248 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12250 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12251 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12252 unused in the certificate verification process.
12253 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12255 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12256 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12259 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12260 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12261 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12263 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12264 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12265 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12266 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12267 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12269 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12270 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12273 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12276 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12279 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12280 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12282 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12285 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12288 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12291 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12292 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12293 other error libraries.
12296 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12299 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12300 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12304 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12305 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12306 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12307 the new set of documentation files.
12308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12310 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12311 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12312 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12313 number of arguments.
12314 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12316 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12319 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12320 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12321 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12323 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12326 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12330 unixware-2.0-pentium
12334 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12335 before they are needed.
12338 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12342 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12344 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12345 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12348 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12351 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12352 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12353 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12355 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12356 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12357 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12359 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12360 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12363 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12364 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12366 *) Updated the README file.
12367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12369 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12370 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12371 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12373 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12374 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12375 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12377 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12378 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12379 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12380 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12381 o removed obsolete TODO file
12382 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12383 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12385 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12386 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12387 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

12391 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12393 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12396 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12397 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12398 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12400 [The OpenSSL Project]
12403 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12405 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12408 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12411 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12412 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12415 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12416 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12420 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12422 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12424 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12427 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12430 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12433 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12436 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
12439 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
12442 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12445 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12448 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12451 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12454 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
12457 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12460 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12463 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
12466 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
12469 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
12472 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
12475 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12476 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12477 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12480 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12481 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12484 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12487 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
12490 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
12491 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
12494 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
12497 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
12500 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
12501 bytes sent in the client random.
