5 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
8 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
9 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
12 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
13 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
16 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
17 protection in servers so again support should be possible
18 with no application modification.
20 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
21 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
23 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
24 or server extensions to be examined.
26 This work was sponsored by Google.
29 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
30 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
31 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
32 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
33 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
34 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
35 server_name extension.
37 New functions (subject to change):
40 SSL_get_servername_type()
43 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
45 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
46 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
47 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
48 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
49 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
51 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
53 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
54 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
55 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
56 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
57 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
58 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
61 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
63 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
66 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
69 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
70 (which previously caused an internal error).
73 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
76 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
77 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
79 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
80 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
81 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
83 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
84 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
85 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
86 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
88 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
89 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
90 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
93 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
94 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
95 information. For detailed background information, see
96 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
97 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
98 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
99 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
100 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
101 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
102 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
103 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
104 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
105 remove a conditional branch.
107 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
108 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
109 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
110 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
111 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
112 remains as a deprecated alias.
114 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
115 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
116 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
117 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
119 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
120 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
121 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
122 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
123 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
124 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
125 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
126 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
128 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
130 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
131 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
132 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
133 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
134 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
135 with applications using a single external cache for quite
136 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
137 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
138 in a different context.
141 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
142 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
143 authentication-only ciphersuites.
146 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
148 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
149 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
150 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
151 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
152 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
155 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
156 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
157 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
158 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
159 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
160 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
163 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
164 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
165 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
166 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
167 message has informed the client about his choice.)
170 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
171 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
173 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
174 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
175 Improve header file function name parsing.
178 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
179 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
182 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
184 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
185 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
186 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
188 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
189 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
191 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
192 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
194 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
195 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
196 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
198 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
199 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
200 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
201 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
202 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
203 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
204 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
205 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
206 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
208 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
209 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
210 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
211 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
212 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
214 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
215 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
216 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
217 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
218 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
219 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
220 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
221 multiple values to extend the available space.
225 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
227 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
228 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
230 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
233 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
234 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
235 undesirable limitations.
236 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
238 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
239 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
240 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
241 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
242 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
243 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
244 to avoid potential handshake problems.
247 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
249 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
250 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
251 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
253 The latter two were purportedly from
254 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
257 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
258 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
259 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
262 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
263 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
266 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
267 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
268 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
269 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
271 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
272 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
273 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
276 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
277 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
278 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
279 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
280 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
281 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
284 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
286 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
287 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
290 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
291 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
293 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
294 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
295 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
296 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
299 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
300 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
303 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
304 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
305 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
306 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
307 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
308 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
309 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
313 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
314 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
315 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
316 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
319 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
320 under VC++ build system.
323 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
324 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
327 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
329 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
330 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
331 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
332 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
333 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
335 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
336 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
337 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
339 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
342 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
343 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
346 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
347 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
349 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
352 *) Extended Windows CE support.
353 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
355 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
356 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
359 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
360 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
364 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
366 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
369 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
372 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
373 key into the same file any more.
376 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
379 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
380 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
382 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
383 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
386 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
387 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
388 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
389 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
390 this only applies when building 'shared'.
391 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
393 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
394 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
395 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
398 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
399 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
400 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
401 - add new function for parameter creation
402 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
403 BN_BLINDING parameters
404 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
405 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
406 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
410 *) Add support for DTLS.
411 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
413 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
414 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
417 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
418 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
421 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
422 the apps/openssl applications.
425 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
426 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
427 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
430 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
431 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
433 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
434 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
436 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
437 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
438 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
439 avoid this algorithm.)
443 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
444 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
445 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
448 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
449 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
452 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
453 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
454 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
457 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
459 The blank line is mandatory.
463 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
464 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
468 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
469 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
471 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
472 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
473 to support policy checking and print out.
476 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
477 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
478 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
479 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
481 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
484 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
485 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
487 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
488 implementation contributed by IBM.
489 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
491 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
492 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
493 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
494 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
496 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
497 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
499 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
500 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
501 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
502 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
503 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
504 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
507 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
508 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
509 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
510 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
511 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
512 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
513 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
516 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
519 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
520 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
521 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
522 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
523 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
524 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
525 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
526 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
529 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
530 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
531 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
532 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
535 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
538 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
541 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
542 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
543 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
544 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
545 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
546 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
550 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
551 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
554 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
555 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
556 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
559 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
560 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
561 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
565 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
566 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
569 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
570 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
571 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
572 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
575 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
576 initialised value as BN_new().
577 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
579 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
582 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
583 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
584 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
585 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
586 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
587 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
588 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
589 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
590 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
591 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
592 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
593 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
594 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
595 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
596 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
598 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
599 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
600 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
601 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
604 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
605 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
606 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
607 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
608 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
609 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
610 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
611 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
612 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
615 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
616 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
617 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
618 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
619 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
620 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
621 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
624 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
625 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
626 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
627 these have been updated also.
630 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
631 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
632 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
633 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
634 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
638 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
639 structure of type "other".
642 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
643 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
644 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
645 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
646 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
647 situation in the script.
648 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
650 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
651 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
652 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
653 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
654 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
655 used as premaster secret.
656 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
658 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
659 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
660 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
662 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
663 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
665 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
666 control of the error stack.
669 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
672 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
673 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
674 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
675 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
678 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
679 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
680 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
683 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
684 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
685 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
689 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
690 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
691 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
692 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
695 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
696 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
697 the following flags are defined:
699 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
700 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
701 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
704 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
705 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
706 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
707 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
711 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
712 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
713 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
714 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
715 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
718 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
719 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
720 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
723 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
724 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
725 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
726 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
727 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
728 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
731 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
735 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
738 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
741 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
744 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
745 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
746 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
747 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
748 default implementation more easily.
751 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
755 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
756 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
759 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
760 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
761 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
762 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
764 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
765 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
766 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
770 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
771 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
775 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
776 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
777 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
778 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
779 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
781 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
783 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
784 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
785 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
789 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
790 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
791 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
792 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
793 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
794 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
795 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
796 linker additions, eg;
797 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
800 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
801 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
802 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
805 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
806 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
807 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
811 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
812 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
813 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
814 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
817 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
818 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
819 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
820 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
821 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
822 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
823 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
824 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
825 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
826 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
828 Example for using the new callback interface:
830 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
834 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
836 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
837 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
838 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
839 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
840 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
841 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
846 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
847 available to TLS with the number defined in
848 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
851 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
852 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
854 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
855 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
856 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
857 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
859 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
860 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
862 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
863 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
867 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
868 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
871 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
872 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
873 and a macro that behave like
874 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
876 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
879 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
880 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
881 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
883 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
885 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
888 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
889 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
890 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
891 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
893 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
894 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
895 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
896 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
897 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
898 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
899 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
900 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
902 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
903 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
906 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
907 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
909 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
910 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
911 files while avoiding the low level API.
913 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
914 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
915 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
916 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
918 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
919 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
920 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
921 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
922 instead of the low level API.
925 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
926 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
927 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
928 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
929 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
932 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
933 down to the template encoder.
936 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
937 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
940 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
941 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
942 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
943 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
945 *) Add ECDH engine support.
946 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
948 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
949 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
951 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
952 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
955 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
956 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
957 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
960 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
961 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
963 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
964 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
966 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
967 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
970 EC_GF2m_simple_method
974 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
975 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
976 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
977 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
978 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
979 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
981 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
982 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
985 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
986 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
987 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
988 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
989 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
990 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
991 various internal method names.)
993 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
994 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
996 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
997 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
999 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1000 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1002 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1003 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1004 methods are undefined.
1006 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1007 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1009 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1010 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1011 length of the modulus.
1013 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1014 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1016 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1017 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1019 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1020 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1022 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1023 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1024 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1027 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1028 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1029 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1030 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1032 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1033 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1034 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1035 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1037 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1038 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1040 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1041 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1042 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1043 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1044 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1046 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1047 This applies to the following functions:
1052 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1053 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1055 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1056 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1060 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1065 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1067 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1068 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1069 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1070 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1071 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1073 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1074 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1076 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1077 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1078 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1080 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1081 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1083 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1084 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1085 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1086 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1087 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1089 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1091 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1092 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1093 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1094 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1095 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1096 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1097 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1098 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1099 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1100 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1101 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1102 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1104 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1107 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1108 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1109 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1110 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1112 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1113 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1114 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1115 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1120 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1121 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1122 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1123 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1124 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1126 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1127 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1128 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1129 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1130 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1131 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1132 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1133 adding different types of curves.
1134 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1136 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1137 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1138 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1141 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1142 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1144 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1145 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1146 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1147 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1149 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1151 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1152 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1154 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1155 library. Most notably,
1156 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1157 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1158 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1159 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1160 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1161 extracted before the specific public key;
1162 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1163 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1165 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1166 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1168 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1169 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1170 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1171 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1173 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1174 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1175 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1177 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1178 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1179 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1180 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1181 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1182 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1186 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1188 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1189 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1190 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1191 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1192 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1193 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1194 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1195 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1196 in a different context.
1199 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1201 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1203 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1205 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1206 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1207 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1210 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1211 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1212 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1215 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1218 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1219 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1222 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1223 run algorithm test programs.
1226 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1229 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1230 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1231 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1232 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1233 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1236 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1237 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1240 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1242 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1243 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1244 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1246 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1247 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1249 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1250 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1252 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1253 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1254 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1256 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1257 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1258 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1259 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1260 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1261 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1262 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1265 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1267 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1268 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1270 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1271 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1272 undesirable limitations.
1273 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1275 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1277 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1278 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1279 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1281 The latter two were purportedly from
1282 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1285 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1286 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1287 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1290 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1291 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1294 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1296 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1297 module in FIPS mode.
1300 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1303 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1304 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1305 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1306 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1309 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1311 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1312 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1313 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1314 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1315 the difference induced by this change.
1318 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1320 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1321 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1322 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1323 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1324 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1326 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1327 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1328 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1330 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1331 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1334 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1335 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1336 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1337 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1341 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1342 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1343 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1344 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1345 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1347 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1348 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1349 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1350 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1351 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1352 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1354 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1356 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1357 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1358 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1359 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1360 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1363 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1367 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1368 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1369 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1372 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1373 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1374 structures constant.
1377 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1379 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1382 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1383 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1384 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1385 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1386 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1387 some needed definitions.
1390 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1393 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1394 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1395 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1396 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1399 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1401 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1402 server and client random values. Previously
1403 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1404 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1406 This change has negligible security impact because:
1408 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1411 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1414 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1415 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1418 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1421 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1423 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1426 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1427 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1428 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1430 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1433 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1434 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1437 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1438 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1439 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1441 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1444 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1445 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1446 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1450 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1451 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1452 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1453 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1455 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1456 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1457 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1458 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1462 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1464 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1465 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1466 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1467 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1468 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1471 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1474 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1475 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1477 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1478 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1479 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1480 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1481 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1482 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1483 rather than being initialized to 1.
1486 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1488 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1489 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1490 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1492 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1494 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1496 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1497 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1498 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1499 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1500 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1501 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1504 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1505 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1506 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1507 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1508 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1512 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1513 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1514 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1515 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1516 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1519 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1520 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1521 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1525 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1526 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1528 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1531 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1533 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1535 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1536 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1538 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1540 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1541 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1545 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1546 exiting on the first error in a request.
1549 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1550 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1554 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1555 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1556 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1557 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1559 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1560 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1563 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1564 blocks during encryption.
1567 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1568 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1569 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1570 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1574 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1575 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1576 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1577 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1578 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1582 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1584 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1585 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1586 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1587 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1590 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1591 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1592 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1593 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1594 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1596 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1597 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1598 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1599 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1600 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1601 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1602 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1603 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1604 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1607 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1608 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1609 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1610 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1613 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1614 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1617 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1619 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1620 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1621 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1622 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1623 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1625 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1626 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1627 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1629 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1630 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1631 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1632 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1633 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1635 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1636 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1637 used by default when no-err is given.
1640 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1641 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1643 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1644 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1645 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1646 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1647 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1649 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1650 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1651 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1652 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1654 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1656 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1658 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1660 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1661 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1662 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1663 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1667 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1668 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1670 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1671 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1674 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1675 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1676 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1677 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1680 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1681 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1682 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1683 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1684 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1685 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1686 followup to PR #377.
1689 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1690 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1693 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1694 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1695 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1717 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1718 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1719 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1720 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1721 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1722 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1724 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1725 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1726 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1727 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1728 have to be made anyway).
1731 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1732 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1733 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1736 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1737 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1738 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

1742 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

1746 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1747 edit numbers of the version.

1820 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1822 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1824 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1825 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1827 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1828 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1830 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1831 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1833 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1835 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1836 the 0.9.6 release series:
1838 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1839 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1841 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1843 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1846 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1847 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1849 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1850 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1852 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1853 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1854 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1855 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1857 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1858 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1859 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1861 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1862 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1863 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1864 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1866 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1867 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1868 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1871 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1872 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1873 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1874 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1875 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1876 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1877 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1878 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1881 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1882 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1883 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1886 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1887 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1888 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1889 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1890 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1892 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1893 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1895 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1896 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1899 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1900 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1901 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1902 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1903 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1904 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1907 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1908 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1909 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1912 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1913 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1916 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1917 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1918 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1919 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1920 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1921 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1922 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1925 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1926 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1927 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1928 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1929 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1930 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1933 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1934 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1935 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1936 declaration has been changed from
1939 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1940 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1941 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1942 has been changed into
1943 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1945 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1946 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1947 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1949 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1950 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1952 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1953 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1954 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1955 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1956 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1957 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1958 always load it have also been added.
1961 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1962 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1963 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1965 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1967 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1968 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1969 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1971 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1972 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1973 command line option can be used to specify an
1977 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1978 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1981 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1982 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1983 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1986 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1987 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1988 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1989 to work with the new engine framework.
1990 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1992 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1993 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1994 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1995 to work with the new engine framework.
1998 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1999 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2000 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2002 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2003 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2005 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2006 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2007 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2008 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2010 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2012 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2013 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2015 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2016 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2018 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2019 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2020 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2023 *) Add new functions
2025 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2026 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2027 These are similar to
2030 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2031 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2032 still in the error queue.
2033 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2035 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2037 default_algorithms = ALL
2038 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2041 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2044 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2047 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2048 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2049 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2050 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2052 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2053 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2055 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2056 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2058 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2059 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2062 *) New functions/macros
2064 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2065 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2066 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2067 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2069 to request calling a callback function
2071 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2072 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2074 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2075 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2076 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2077 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2078 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2079 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2080 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2081 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2082 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2083 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2085 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2086 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2089 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2090 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2091 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2092 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2093 the configuration scripts.
2095 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2096 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2097 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2099 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2100 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2102 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2103 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2104 when reusing an existing buffer.
2107 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2108 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2111 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2112 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2115 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2116 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2117 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2118 has the same effect.
2119 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2121 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2122 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2123 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2124 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2125 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2126 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2129 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2130 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2131 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2132 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2134 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2135 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2136 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2137 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2139 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2140 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2143 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2144 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2145 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2146 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2147 default), and then completely removed.
2150 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2151 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2152 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2153 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2154 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2155 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2156 particular extension is supported.
2159 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2160 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2163 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2164 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2165 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2166 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2167 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2168 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2169 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2170 requires the destination to be valid.
2172 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2173 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2176 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2177 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2178 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2181 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2182 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2184 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2185 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2186 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2187 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2188 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2189 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2190 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2191 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2192 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2193 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2194 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2195 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2196 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2197 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2198 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2199 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2200 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2201 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2202 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2206 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2209 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2210 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2211 become part of libeay.num as well.
2214 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2215 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2216 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2217 false once a handshake has been completed.
2218 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2219 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2220 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2221 client has followed the request.)
2224 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2225 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2226 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2227 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2229 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2230 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2231 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2234 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2237 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2238 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2239 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2242 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2243 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2246 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2247 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2248 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2249 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2252 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2253 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2254 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2255 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2256 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2257 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2260 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2261 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2262 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2263 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2264 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2265 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2266 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2267 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2270 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2271 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2274 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2277 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2278 md_data void pointer.
2281 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2282 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2283 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2284 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2285 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2286 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2289 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2290 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2291 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2292 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2293 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2294 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2295 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2296 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2297 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2298 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2299 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2300 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2301 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2302 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2303 rather than letting it slide.
2305 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2306 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2307 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2310 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2311 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2312 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2313 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2314 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2315 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2316 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2317 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2318 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2321 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2322 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2323 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2324 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2325 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2327 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2330 *) Add EVP test program.
2333 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2336 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2337 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2338 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2339 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2340 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2343 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2344 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2345 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2346 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2347 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2348 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2349 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2351 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2352 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2353 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2358 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2359 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2360 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2361 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2362 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2366 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2367 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2368 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2369 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2372 des_key_schedule ks;
2374 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2375 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2377 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2380 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2381 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2382 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2383 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2384 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2385 functions prevents this.
2388 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2391 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2392 correct _ecb suffix.
2395 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2396 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2397 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2398 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2399 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2402 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2405 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2406 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2407 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2408 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2410 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2411 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2413 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2414 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2415 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2416 via Richard Levitte]
2418 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2419 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2420 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2421 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2424 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2427 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2428 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2442 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2443 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2445 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2446 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2447 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2448 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2449 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2450 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2453 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2454 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2457 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2458 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2459 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2460 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2462 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2463 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2464 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2465 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2466 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2467 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2471 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2472 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2473 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2474 and interrupts/cancellations.
2477 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2478 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2481 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2482 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2483 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2485 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2486 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2490 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2491 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2492 than this minimum value is recommended.
2495 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2496 that are easily reachable.
2499 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2500 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2502 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2504 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2505 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2506 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2507 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2510 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2511 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2512 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2515 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2516 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2517 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2518 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2519 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2520 internally such as S/MIME.
2522 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2523 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2524 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2526 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2530 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2531 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2532 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2533 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2535 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2537 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2539 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2540 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2541 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2545 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2546 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2547 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2548 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2549 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2550 a window system and the like.
2553 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2554 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2557 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2558 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2559 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2560 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2561 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2562 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2563 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2564 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2565 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2569 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2570 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2574 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2575 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2576 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2577 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2578 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2579 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2580 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2581 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2584 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2585 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2586 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2587 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2588 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2589 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2590 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2591 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2592 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2593 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2594 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2595 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2596 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2597 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2598 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2599 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2600 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2603 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2604 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2605 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2606 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2607 internal engine_int.h header.
2610 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2611 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2612 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2613 modify their own ones).
2616 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2617 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2618 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2619 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2620 later on via ctrl() commands.
2621 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2622 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2623 structural references.
2624 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2625 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2626 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2627 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2628 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2629 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2630 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2631 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2632 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2633 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2634 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2635 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2638 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2639 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2640 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2641 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2642 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2643 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2644 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2645 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2648 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2649 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2652 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2653 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2656 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2657 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2658 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2659 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2660 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2661 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2662 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2665 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2666 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2667 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2668 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2669 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2671 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2672 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2676 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2678 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2679 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2680 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2682 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2683 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2685 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2686 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2687 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2689 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2690 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2692 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2693 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2695 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2697 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2698 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2699 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2702 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2703 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2706 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2707 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2708 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2709 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2710 is 40 of more characters long.
2713 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2714 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2718 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2719 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2722 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2723 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2727 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2729 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2730 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2733 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2735 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2736 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2737 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2739 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2740 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2742 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2745 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2749 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2750 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2751 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2752 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2754 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2756 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2757 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2759 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2760 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2761 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2762 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2763 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2764 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2766 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2767 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2769 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2770 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2772 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2773 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2775 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2776 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2777 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2778 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2780 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2781 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2783 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2784 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2786 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2787 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2788 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2789 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2790 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2793 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2794 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2795 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2796 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2799 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2800 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2801 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2805 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2806 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2807 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2808 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2809 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2810 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2811 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2812 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2816 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2817 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2820 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2821 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2822 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2823 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2826 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2827 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2828 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2829 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2830 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2831 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2832 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2833 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2834 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2835 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2838 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2839 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2840 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2841 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2842 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2843 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2844 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2845 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2847 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2848 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2849 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2850 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2853 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2854 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2855 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2856 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2858 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2859 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2860 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2861 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2862 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2866 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2867 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2868 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2869 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2873 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2874 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2875 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2878 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2879 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2880 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2881 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2882 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2885 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2888 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2889 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2890 option to ocsp utility.
2893 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2894 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2895 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2896 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2897 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2898 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2899 the request is nonce-less.
2902 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2903 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2904 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2907 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2908 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2909 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2912 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2913 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2914 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2915 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2916 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2919 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2920 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2924 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2925 additional certificates supplied.
2928 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2929 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2933 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2934 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2937 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2938 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2939 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2940 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2941 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2942 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2943 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2944 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2945 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2947 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2948 request to response.
2951 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2952 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2953 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2954 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2955 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2956 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2957 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2958 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2959 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2960 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2961 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2964 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2965 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2966 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2967 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2970 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2971 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2973 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2974 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2975 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2978 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2979 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2980 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2981 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2982 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2984 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2985 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2986 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2989 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2990 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2991 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2992 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2993 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2994 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2995 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2996 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2998 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2999 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3000 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3001 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3002 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3003 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3006 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3007 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3008 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3009 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3010 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3011 printout format cleaned up.
3014 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3015 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3016 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3017 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3018 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3019 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3020 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3021 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3024 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3025 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3026 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3027 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3028 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3029 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3030 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3031 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3034 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3035 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3036 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3037 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3039 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3041 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3042 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3043 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3044 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3047 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3048 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3049 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3050 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3052 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3054 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3055 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3056 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3057 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3059 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3060 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3062 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3063 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3064 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3067 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3068 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3069 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3072 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3073 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3074 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3075 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3076 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3077 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3078 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3079 functions are provided:
3081 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3082 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3083 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3084 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3086 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3087 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3088 extended allocation function is enabled.
3089 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3090 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3091 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3093 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3094 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3095 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3096 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3097 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3100 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3101 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3102 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3104 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3105 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3106 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3109 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3110 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3111 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3112 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3113 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3114 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3115 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3116 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3117 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3120 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3121 provide utility functions which an application needing
3122 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3123 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3124 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3126 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3127 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3128 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3129 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3130 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3131 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3132 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3133 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3134 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3136 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3137 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3138 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3139 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3142 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3143 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3144 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3145 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3146 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3147 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3148 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3149 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3150 will be added elsewhere.
3153 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3154 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3155 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3156 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3159 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3160 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3161 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3162 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3163 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3164 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3165 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3166 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3167 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3168 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3169 to produce the required SET OF.
3172 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3173 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3174 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3177 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3178 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3179 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3180 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3181 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3182 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3185 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3186 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3187 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3190 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3191 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3192 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3195 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3196 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3197 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3198 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3199 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3202 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3203 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3206 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3207 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3208 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3209 certifcates and CRLs.
3212 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3213 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3214 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3217 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3218 entries for variables.
3221 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3222 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3223 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3224 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3227 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3228 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3229 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3230 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3231 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3232 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3235 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3236 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3238 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3239 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3240 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3243 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3247 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3248 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3249 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3250 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3251 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3252 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3255 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3258 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3259 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3260 for now but they will eventually go away.
3263 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3264 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3265 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3266 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3267 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3268 has also been converted to the new form.
3271 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3272 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3273 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3274 for negative moduli.
3277 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3278 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3281 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3285 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3286 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3287 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3288 type-specific callbacks.
3291 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3293 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3294 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3296 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3297 in sections depending on the subject.
3300 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3304 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3305 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3306 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3307 be handled deterministically).
3308 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3310 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3311 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3312 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3315 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3318 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3319 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3320 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3321 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3322 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3325 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3326 sign of the number in question.
3328 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3330 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3331 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3332 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3333 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3334 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3337 *) New function BN_swap.
3340 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3341 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3342 results on negative inputs.
3345 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3346 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3347 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3350 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3351 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3352 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3353 and add new functions:
3362 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3366 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3368 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3369 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3371 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3372 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3373 be reduced modulo m.
3374 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3377 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3378 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3379 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3381 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3382 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3383 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3384 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3385 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3386 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3391 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3392 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3393 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3394 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3395 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3397 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3398 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3399 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3403 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3406 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3407 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3410 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3411 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3412 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3413 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3417 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3420 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3423 *) Add the following functions:
3425 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3427 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3429 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3431 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3432 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3433 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3434 libraries unless it's really needed.
3436 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3437 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3438 declarations (they differed!).
3441 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3444 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3447 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3450 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3451 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3454 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3455 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3456 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3458 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3459 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3462 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3465 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3468 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3471 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3472 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3473 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3475 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3476 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3477 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3478 different shared library filenames on each system.
3481 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3484 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3485 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3486 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3488 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3491 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3492 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3493 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3494 binary backward compatibility.
3495 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3496 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3497 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3501 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3502 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3503 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3504 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3508 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3511 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3512 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3513 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3514 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3518 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3521 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3523 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3524 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3525 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3527 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3529 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3531 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3532 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3535 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3537 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3539 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3540 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3542 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3543 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3547 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3548 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3552 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3553 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3554 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3555 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3557 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3558 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3561 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3563 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3564 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3565 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3566 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3569 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3570 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3571 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3572 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3573 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3575 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3576 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3577 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3578 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3579 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3580 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3581 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3582 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3583 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3586 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3588 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3589 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3590 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3591 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3592 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3594 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3595 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3596 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3598 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3600 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3601 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3602 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3603 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3604 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3605 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3608 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3609 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3610 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3611 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3612 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3615 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3616 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3617 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3619 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3620 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3621 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3625 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3626 being properly terminated.
3629 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3630 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3631 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3632 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3634 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3635 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3636 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3637 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3638 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3639 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3640 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3642 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3644 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3645 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3648 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3649 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3650 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3651 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3652 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3653 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3654 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3655 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3657 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3658 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3659 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3660 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3661 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3663 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3664 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3667 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3669 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3670 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3671 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3673 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3675 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3676 and get fix the header length calculation.
3677 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3678 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3681 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3682 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3683 assertions could call abort()).
3684 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3686 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3688 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3689 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3690 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3692 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3694 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3695 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3696 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3699 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3703 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3704 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3705 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3707 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3708 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3709 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3710 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3711 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3715 *) Changes in security patch:
3717 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3718 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3719 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3722 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3723 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3724 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3725 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3726 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3728 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3730 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3732 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3733 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3734 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3736 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3737 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3738 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3740 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3741 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3744 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3746 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3747 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3748 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3750 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3751 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3753 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3754 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3755 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3756 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3757 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3758 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3761 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3762 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3763 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3764 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3767 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3770 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3771 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3772 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3773 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3774 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3775 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3777 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3778 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3779 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3780 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3781 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3784 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3785 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3786 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3787 BN_generate_prime().)
3789 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3790 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3791 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3795 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3796 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3799 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3800 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3801 when using non-blocking I/O.
3802 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3804 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3805 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3807 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3808 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3811 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3812 configuration for the versions before that.
3813 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3815 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3816 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3817 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3818 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3821 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3822 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3823 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3826 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3830 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3831 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3832 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3834 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3835 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3837 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3838 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3839 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3840 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3841 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3842 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3843 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3846 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3847 using a local variable.
3848 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3850 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3851 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3852 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3854 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3857 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3858 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3860 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3861 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3862 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3864 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3866 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3867 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3868 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3869 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3872 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3876 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3877 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3878 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3879 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3880 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3882 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3883 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3884 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3886 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3887 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3888 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3890 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3891 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3892 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3893 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3895 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3896 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3897 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3899 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3901 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3902 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3904 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3906 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3907 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3908 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3909 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3911 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3912 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3913 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3914 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3916 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3917 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3919 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3920 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3921 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3924 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3925 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3926 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3928 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3930 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3931 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3932 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3933 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3934 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3935 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3936 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3939 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3940 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3941 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3942 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3944 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3945 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3946 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3947 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3948 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3949 the client will at least see that alert.
3952 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3956 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3957 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3958 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3960 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3961 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3962 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3963 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3966 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3967 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3968 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3970 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3971 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3972 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3973 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3974 may leak via logfiles.)
3976 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3977 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3978 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3979 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3983 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3984 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3987 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3988 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3989 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3990 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3991 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3994 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3995 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3997 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3998 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3999 followed by modular reduction.
4000 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4002 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4003 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4006 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4007 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4008 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4009 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4012 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4015 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4016 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4019 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4020 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4021 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4022 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4023 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4024 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4026 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4028 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4029 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4030 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4031 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4032 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4034 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4037 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4038 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4039 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4040 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4041 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4042 to allow the necessary settings.
4045 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4046 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4047 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4048 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4051 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4052 dh->length and always used
4054 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4056 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4057 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4058 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4059 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4060 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4065 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4067 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1

4075 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4076 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4078 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4079 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4080 always reject numbers >= n.
4083 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4084 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4085 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4086 variable) is not atomic.
4089 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4090 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4091 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4092 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4094 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4095 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4097 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4099 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4101 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4104 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4106 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4107 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4108 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4109 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4110 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4111 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4112 to traverse all of 'state'.
4114 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4115 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4116 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4118 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4119 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4121 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4122 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4123 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4124 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4125 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4126 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4127 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4128 further strengthens the PRNG.
4131 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4134 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4135 an error message in this case.
4138 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4141 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4142 positive and less than q.
4145 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4146 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4148 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4150 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4151 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4155 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4157 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4158 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4159 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4160 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4161 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4162 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4163 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4166 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4167 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4168 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4169 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4171 Both problems are now fixed.
4174 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4175 (previously it was 1024).
4178 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4179 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4182 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4185 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4186 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4187 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4190 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4191 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4192 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4193 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4194 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4195 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4196 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4197 environment variables.
4199 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4200 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4201 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4204 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4205 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4206 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4207 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4208 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4209 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4212 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4216 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4218 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4219 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4221 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4222 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4223 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4224 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4228 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4229 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4230 amount of data available.
4231 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4232 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4234 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4235 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4236 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4237 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4240 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4241 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4245 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4246 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4247 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4248 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4251 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4254 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4257 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4258 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4260 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4262 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4263 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4264 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4265 (but broken) behaviour.
4268 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4270 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4272 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4273 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4276 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4280 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4281 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4283 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4286 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4287 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4288 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4290 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4291 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4292 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4295 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4296 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4299 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4300 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4302 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4304 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4306 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4307 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4308 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4309 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4312 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4315 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4316 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4317 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4319 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4322 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4324 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4325 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4326 but the code is actually correct.
4329 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4330 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4331 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4332 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4333 and leaves the highest bit random.
4334 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4336 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4337 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4338 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4339 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4340 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4341 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4342 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4345 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4348 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4349 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4352 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4353 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4354 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4355 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4359 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4360 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4361 and break the signature.
4363 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4365 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4369 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4370 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4371 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4372 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4373 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4376 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4377 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4379 *) ./config script fixes.
4380 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4382 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4385 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4386 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4387 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4388 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4389 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4391 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4392 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4395 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4396 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4399 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4400 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4401 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4402 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4404 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4405 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4407 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4408 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4409 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4410 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4411 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4413 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4416 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4419 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4422 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4425 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4426 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4429 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4430 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4431 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4432 result of the server certificate verification.)
4435 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4436 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4437 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4441 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4442 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4443 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4444 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4445 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4446 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4447 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4448 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4451 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4452 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4453 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4454 happening the other way round.
4457 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4458 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4461 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4462 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4463 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4464 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4467 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4468 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4470 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4472 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4473 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4474 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4477 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4479 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4481 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4485 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4487 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4488 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4489 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4490 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4491 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4493 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4494 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4498 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4501 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4503 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4504 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4505 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4506 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4507 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4508 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4509 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4510 by the Finished messages.
4513 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4514 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4516 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4517 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4518 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4519 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4520 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4524 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4525 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4526 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4527 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4528 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4529 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4530 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4531 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4532 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4536 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4537 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4538 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4539 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4541 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4542 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4543 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4544 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4545 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4548 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4549 been tested well enough.
4552 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4553 it can return incorrect results.
4554 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4555 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4558 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4559 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4560 include zero length content when signing messages.
4563 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4564 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4567 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4570 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4574 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4575 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4576 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4577 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4578 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4579 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4582 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4583 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4585 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4586 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4588 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4589 random number < q in the DSA library.
4592 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4593 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4594 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4595 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4596 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4597 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4598 just makes things more complicated.)
4601 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4605 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4606 work better on such systems.
4607 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4609 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4610 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4611 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4614 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4615 if there was more than one signature.
4616 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4618 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4619 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4620 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4621 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4624 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4625 rather than always using the current time.
4628 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4629 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4630 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4631 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4632 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4633 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4635 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4636 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4638 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4640 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4641 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4642 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4643 the same hash value.
4645 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4646 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4647 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4648 with X509_STORE internally.
4650 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4651 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4653 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4654 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4655 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4656 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4657 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4658 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4659 entirely (maybe later...).
4661 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4663 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4664 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4665 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4666 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4667 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4668 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4669 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4670 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4672 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4673 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4675 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4676 to customise the verify behaviour.
4679 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4680 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4683 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4684 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4685 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4686 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4687 request is improperly encoded.
4690 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4691 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4694 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4695 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4697 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4698 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4702 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4703 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4704 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4707 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4708 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4709 BIO/fp routines also added.
4712 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4713 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4715 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4716 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4717 demos/state_machine.
4720 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4721 generation and verification.
4724 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4725 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4726 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4727 encode and decode it manually.
4730 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4732 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4734 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4735 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4736 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4737 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4739 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4740 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4741 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4742 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4743 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4746 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4749 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4750 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4751 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4753 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4754 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4755 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4756 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4757 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4758 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4759 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4760 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4762 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4763 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4765 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4767 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4768 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4769 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4773 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4774 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4775 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4776 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4780 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4782 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4785 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4786 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4787 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4788 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4789 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4790 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4791 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4792 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4793 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4794 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4795 short or long names are found.
4798 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4799 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4801 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4802 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4803 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4804 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4806 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4807 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4808 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4809 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4812 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4813 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4814 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4817 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4818 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4819 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4820 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4821 to allow the various flags to be set.
4824 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4825 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4826 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4827 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4828 dates to be checked.
4831 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4832 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4833 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4836 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4837 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4838 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4841 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4842 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4845 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4846 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4847 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4848 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4849 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4850 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4853 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4854 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4858 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4862 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4863 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4864 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4865 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4866 form signing output easier to verify.
4869 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4872 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4873 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4874 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4875 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4876 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4877 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4878 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4879 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4880 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4881 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4884 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4886 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4887 the syntax given in objects.README.
4888 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4890 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4893 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4894 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4895 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4896 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4897 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4898 consistent name changes.
4901 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4904 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4905 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4906 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4907 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4910 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4911 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4912 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4916 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4917 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4918 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4919 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4922 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4923 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4924 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4925 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4926 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4927 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4928 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4929 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4930 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4931 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4932 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4935 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4936 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4937 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4938 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4939 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4940 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4941 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4942 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4943 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4944 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4947 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4948 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4949 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4950 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4952 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4953 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4954 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4955 omit any duplicate addresses.
4958 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4959 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4962 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4963 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4964 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4965 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4966 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4969 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4971 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4972 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4973 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4974 Free => OPENSSL_free
4977 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4978 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4981 *) CygWin32 support.
4982 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4984 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4985 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4986 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4987 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4988 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4992 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4993 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4994 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4995 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4996 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4997 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4998 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5001 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5002 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5003 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5004 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5005 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5006 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5007 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5008 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5009 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5010 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5011 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5014 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5015 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5016 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5017 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5018 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5020 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5021 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5022 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5023 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5024 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5026 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5029 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5030 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5031 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5032 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5034 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5036 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5039 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5040 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5041 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5044 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5045 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5046 any installed hardware versions can.
5049 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5050 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5051 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5055 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5056 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5057 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5058 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5059 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5061 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5062 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5065 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5066 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5069 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5070 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5071 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5075 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5078 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5079 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5080 but no ssl client purpose.
5081 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5083 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5084 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5085 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5086 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5087 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5088 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5089 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5090 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5091 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5092 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5093 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5096 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5097 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5098 be obtained from the error queue.
5101 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5102 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5103 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5104 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5107 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5110 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5111 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5112 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5113 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5114 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5117 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5118 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5119 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5120 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5121 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5124 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5125 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5126 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5128 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5130 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5131 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5132 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5133 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5134 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5135 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5136 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5137 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5138 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5139 or "the configuration storage API"...
5141 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5143 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5144 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5146 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5148 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5150 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5151 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5152 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5153 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5154 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5155 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5156 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5158 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5159 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5162 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5163 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5164 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5165 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5168 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5169 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5170 them in a portable way.
5171 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5173 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5175 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5177 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5178 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5180 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5181 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5182 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5185 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5186 was larger than the MD block size.
5187 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5189 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5190 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5191 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5192 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5196 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5197 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5198 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5200 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5202 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5204 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5205 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5206 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5207 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5208 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5209 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5211 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5212 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5214 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5215 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5218 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5221 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5222 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5224 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5225 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5226 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5227 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5230 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5231 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5232 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5233 does not suppress any output.
5236 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5237 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5238 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5239 with all the associated security issues.
5241 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5242 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5243 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5244 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5245 use the value in the default purpose.
5248 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5249 and fix a memory leak.
5252 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5253 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5254 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5255 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5258 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5259 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5260 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5261 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5264 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5265 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5266 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5269 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5270 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5273 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5274 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5278 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5279 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5282 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5283 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5284 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5287 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5288 number generation fails.
5291 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5294 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5295 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5297 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5300 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5301 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5303 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5304 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5306 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5308 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5309 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5312 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5313 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5315 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5316 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5319 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5320 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5321 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5322 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5323 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5324 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5326 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5327 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5328 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5332 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5333 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5334 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5335 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5336 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5337 counter, some don't.)
5338 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5339 counters or duplicate objects.
5342 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5343 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5346 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5347 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5348 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5350 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5351 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5352 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5356 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5357 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5360 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5361 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5362 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5366 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5367 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5368 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5371 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5372 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5373 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5374 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5375 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5376 should work without changes.
5379 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5380 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5381 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5382 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5383 must be defined. E.g.,
5384 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5385 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5386 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5387 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5389 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5393 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5394 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5395 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5398 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5399 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5400 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5401 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5404 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5405 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5406 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5407 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5408 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5409 is prompted for as usual.
5412 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5413 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5414 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5415 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5417 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5418 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5419 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5420 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5423 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5426 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5430 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5433 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5436 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5440 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5443 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5446 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5447 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5450 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5451 options to produce them.
5454 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5455 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5458 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5462 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5463 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5464 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5465 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5466 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5467 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5468 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5471 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5474 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5475 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5476 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5479 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5480 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5482 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5483 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5486 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5487 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5488 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5492 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5493 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5495 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5496 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5497 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5498 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5499 generation becomes much faster.
5501 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5502 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5503 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5504 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5505 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5506 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5507 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5508 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5509 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5510 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5513 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5514 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5515 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5516 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5517 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5518 trial division stage.
5521 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5525 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5528 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5531 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5532 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5533 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5537 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5538 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5539 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5542 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5543 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5544 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5545 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5547 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5548 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5551 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5554 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5555 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5556 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5557 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5560 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5561 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5562 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5565 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5566 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5567 (instead of parameters) in future.
5570 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5571 when a new cipher list is set.
5574 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5575 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5578 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5579 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5580 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5582 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5583 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5584 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5585 an error is flagged.
5587 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5588 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5589 the readability was also increased :-)
5590 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5592 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5593 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5594 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5595 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5599 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5600 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5603 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5604 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5605 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5606 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5609 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5610 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5611 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5612 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5613 because they handle more complex structures.)
5616 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5617 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5618 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5619 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5621 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5622 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5623 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5624 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5625 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5626 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5627 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5630 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5631 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5632 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5633 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5634 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5637 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5640 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5641 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5642 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5643 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5644 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5647 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5651 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5652 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5653 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5654 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5657 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5660 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5661 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5662 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5663 international characters are used.
5665 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5666 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5667 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5671 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5672 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5673 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5676 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5677 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5678 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5679 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5680 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5681 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5683 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5684 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5685 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5686 be handled by the string table functions.
5688 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5689 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5690 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5691 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5692 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5696 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5697 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5698 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5699 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5700 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5702 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5703 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5704 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5705 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5708 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5709 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5710 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5711 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5712 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5716 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5717 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5718 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5719 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5720 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5721 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5722 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5723 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5725 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5726 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5727 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5730 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5731 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5732 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5733 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5734 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5735 support to pkcs8 application.
5738 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5739 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5740 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5741 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5742 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5743 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5746 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5747 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5748 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5749 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5750 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5754 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5755 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5756 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5757 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5761 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5762 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5763 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5764 and any application specific purposes.
5766 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5767 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5768 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5769 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5770 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5771 if the certificate is self signed.
5774 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5775 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5778 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5779 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5780 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5781 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5784 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5785 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5786 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5787 Update documentation.
5790 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5791 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5792 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5793 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5794 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5797 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5799 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5801 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5802 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5803 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5804 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5805 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5806 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5807 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5808 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5809 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5810 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5812 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5814 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5815 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5816 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5817 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5818 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5820 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5821 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5822 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5823 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5824 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5825 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5826 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5827 request additional information:
5828 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5829 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5831 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5832 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5833 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5836 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5837 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5840 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5843 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5844 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5846 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5847 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5848 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5852 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5853 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5854 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5856 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5857 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5858 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5859 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5860 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5861 included in OpenSSL.
5864 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5865 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5866 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5867 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5868 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5869 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5872 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5876 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5877 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5878 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5879 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5880 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5884 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5888 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5889 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5890 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5891 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5892 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5893 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5894 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5895 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5896 be maintained manually.
5898 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5899 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5900 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5901 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5902 work because people forget to call this function]
5903 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5904 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5905 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5908 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5909 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5910 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5911 should be discouraged from doing it.
5914 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5915 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5916 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5917 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5918 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5919 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5922 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5923 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5924 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5926 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5927 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5928 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5930 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5931 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5932 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5933 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5934 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5935 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5937 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5938 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5939 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5941 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5942 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5945 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5946 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5947 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5948 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5951 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5954 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5955 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5956 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5957 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5958 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5959 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5960 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5961 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5962 keys so we should be OK.
5964 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5965 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5966 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5967 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5968 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5969 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5970 stay in the name of compatibility.
5972 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5973 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5974 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5976 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5977 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5978 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5979 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5980 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5981 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5985 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5986 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5987 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5988 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5989 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5990 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5991 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5992 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5993 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5994 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5995 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5996 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5997 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6000 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6003 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6004 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6005 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6006 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6007 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6008 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6009 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6010 openssl verify ss.pem
6011 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6012 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6016 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6017 (and add it to external session representation).
6018 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6019 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6020 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6021 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6022 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6023 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6025 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6027 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6028 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6029 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6030 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6032 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6033 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6034 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6037 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6038 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6039 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6043 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6044 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6045 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6047 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6048 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6049 certificate auxiliary information.
6052 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6056 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6057 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6058 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6059 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6060 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6061 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6062 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6065 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6066 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6069 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6070 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6071 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6072 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6075 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6078 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6079 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6082 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6083 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6084 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6085 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6086 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6087 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6088 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6089 using the new 'x509' options.
6091 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6092 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6093 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6094 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6098 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6099 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6100 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6101 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6102 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6105 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6106 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6107 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6108 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6109 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6110 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6111 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6112 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6113 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6114 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6117 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6118 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6119 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6120 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6121 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6122 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6123 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6126 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6127 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6128 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6129 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6130 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6131 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6132 openssl.cnf for more info.
6135 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6136 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6137 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6138 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6139 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6140 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6141 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6142 md should be large enough anyway.
6145 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6146 for handling the random seed file.
6148 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6150 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6153 x509 (when signing).
6154 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6155 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6156 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6158 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6159 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6160 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6161 that support '-rand'.
6164 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6165 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6168 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6169 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6172 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6173 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6174 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6175 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6179 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6180 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6181 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6182 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6185 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6186 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6187 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6188 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6189 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6190 print out all the purposes.
6193 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6197 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6198 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6199 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6200 single function call.
6203 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6204 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6207 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6208 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6209 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6212 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6213 when producing the local key id.
6214 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6216 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6217 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6218 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6222 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6223 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6224 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6225 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6228 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6229 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6230 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6231 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6233 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6234 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6235 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6236 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6238 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6239 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6240 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6241 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6242 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6243 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6244 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6245 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6246 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6247 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6248 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6249 trivial: move one line.
6250 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6252 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6253 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6254 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6255 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6256 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6257 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6258 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6259 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6260 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6261 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6262 with an event loop for example.
6265 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6266 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6267 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6268 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6269 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6270 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6271 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6272 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6273 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6276 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6277 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6278 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6279 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6280 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6281 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6284 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6285 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6286 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6287 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6289 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6290 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6291 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6292 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6296 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6297 (still largely untested)
6300 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6301 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6304 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6305 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6308 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6309 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6310 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6313 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6314 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6315 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6316 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6317 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6320 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6323 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6324 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6325 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6326 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6327 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6331 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6332 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6335 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6338 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6339 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6340 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6341 are otherwise ignored at present.
6344 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6345 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6346 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6347 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6348 copied until the next read.
6351 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6352 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6353 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6356 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6357 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6358 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6359 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6360 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6361 associated functions.
6364 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6365 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6366 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6367 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6368 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6369 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6370 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6371 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6372 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6376 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6377 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6378 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6379 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6382 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6383 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6384 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6385 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6386 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6390 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6391 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6395 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6396 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6397 extensions to be obtained and added.
6400 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6401 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6404 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6406 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6407 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6409 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6410 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6412 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6416 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6417 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6418 DH parameters contain its length).
6420 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6421 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6422 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6423 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6424 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6425 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6426 utter importance to use
6427 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6429 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6430 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6431 attacks may become possible!
6434 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6437 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6438 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6441 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6442 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6443 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6447 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6448 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6449 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6450 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6451 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6452 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6453 private key operations.
6456 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6459 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6460 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6462 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6463 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6464 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6465 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6466 the password callback is called.
6467 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6469 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6471 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6472 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6473 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6474 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6475 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6476 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6479 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6480 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6481 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6482 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6483 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6484 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6487 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6490 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6491 delete an unused file.
6494 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6495 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6496 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6497 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6500 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6501 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6502 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6506 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6507 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6508 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6510 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6511 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6512 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6513 comparison" warnings.
6514 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6517 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6518 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6519 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6522 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6523 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6525 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6526 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6528 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6529 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6530 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6532 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6533 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6534 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6535 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6536 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6538 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6540 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6541 The interface is as follows:
6542 Applications can use
6543 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6544 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6545 "off" is now the default.
6546 The library internally uses
6547 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6548 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6549 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6551 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6552 even the default) are now avoided.
6554 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6555 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6556 than just having a counter.
6558 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6560 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6564 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6565 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6566 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6567 Initial "mode" flags are:
6569 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6570 a single record has been written.
6571 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6572 retries use the same buffer location.
6573 (But all of the contents must be
6577 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6580 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6581 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6583 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6584 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6585 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6588 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6589 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6591 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6593 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6594 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6595 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6596 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6598 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6599 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6601 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6602 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6603 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6604 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6605 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6606 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6609 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6610 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6611 necessary function names.
6614 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6615 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6616 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6617 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6620 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6621 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6622 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6625 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6626 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6627 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6628 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6630 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6634 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6635 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6636 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6639 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6640 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6644 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6645 for the encoded length.
6646 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6648 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6651 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6652 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6653 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6654 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6657 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6658 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6659 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6661 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6662 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6663 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6667 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6668 to use the new extension code.
6671 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6672 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6673 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6677 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6678 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6679 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6683 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6686 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6687 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6688 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6691 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6692 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6693 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6694 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6697 *) DES library cleanups.
6700 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6701 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6702 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6703 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6704 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6708 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6709 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6712 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6713 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6714 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6715 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6716 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6717 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6718 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6719 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6720 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6723 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6724 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6725 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6726 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6727 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6728 value doesn't matter.
6731 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6735 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6736 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6737 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6738 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6740 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6743 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6744 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6745 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6747 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6748 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6750 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6753 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6756 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6759 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6763 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6765 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6767 *) Updated some demos.
6768 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6770 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6773 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6776 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6779 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6780 instead of using a fixed path.
6783 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6786 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6790 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6792 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6793 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6794 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6796 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6797 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6798 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6799 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6800 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6801 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6802 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6803 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6804 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6805 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6808 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6809 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6812 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6813 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6814 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6815 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6816 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6818 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6821 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6822 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6823 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6826 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6829 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6830 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6831 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6832 key elements as negative integers.
6835 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6836 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6839 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6841 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6842 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6843 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6846 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6847 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6848 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6849 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6850 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6853 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6856 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6857 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6858 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6859 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6861 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6862 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6863 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6865 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6866 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6867 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6868 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6869 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6870 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6871 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6872 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6873 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6875 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6876 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6877 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6878 does not influence s as it used to.
6880 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6881 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6882 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6883 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6884 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6885 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6888 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6889 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6890 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6894 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6895 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6896 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6900 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6901 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6902 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6906 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6907 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6910 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6911 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6916 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6917 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6919 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6920 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6922 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6925 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6928 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6931 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6932 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6933 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6937 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6938 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6939 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6940 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6941 now it really counts the depth.
6944 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6945 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6946 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6947 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6948 didn't match the private key).
6950 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6951 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6952 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6955 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6958 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6962 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6963 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6964 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6967 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6970 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6971 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6972 such as /usr/local/bin.
6975 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6976 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6978 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6981 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6982 extension adding in x509 utility.
6985 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6988 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6992 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6995 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6996 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6997 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6998 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6999 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7000 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7001 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7002 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7003 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7004 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7007 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7010 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7011 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7014 *) Fix some race conditions.
7017 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7018 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7021 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7024 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7025 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7026 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7027 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7029 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7030 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7032 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7033 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7034 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7036 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7037 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7039 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7042 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7043 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7045 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7048 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7049 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7051 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7052 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7055 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7056 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7059 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7060 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7063 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7064 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7067 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7068 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7071 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7072 support typesafe stack.
7075 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7076 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7078 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7079 old X509V3 handling code.
7082 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7085 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7088 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7091 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7092 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7094 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7095 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7096 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7097 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7098 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7101 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7102 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7103 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7104 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7105 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7107 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7108 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7109 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7110 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7112 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7113 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7114 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7117 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7118 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7119 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7120 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7121 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7122 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7125 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7126 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7129 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7130 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7133 *) Tweaks to Configure
7134 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7136 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7140 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7143 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7144 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7147 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7148 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7149 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7152 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7155 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7156 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7159 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7160 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7161 to library startup routines.
7164 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7165 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7166 codes along the way.
7169 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7170 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7171 objects to objects.h
7174 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7175 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7178 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7179 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7181 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7182 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7183 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7185 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7186 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7187 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7189 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7190 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7191 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7194 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7196 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7197 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7200 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7201 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7202 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7203 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7204 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7206 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7207 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7208 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7210 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7212 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7214 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7216 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7217 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7219 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7220 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7221 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7222 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7224 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7227 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7228 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7229 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7230 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7233 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7234 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7235 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7238 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7239 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7240 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7241 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7242 installed as `perl').
7243 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7245 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7246 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7248 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7249 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7250 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7251 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7252 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7255 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7258 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7259 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7260 is horrible: I feel ill....
7263 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7264 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7265 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7266 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7269 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7272 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7273 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7274 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7277 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7278 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7279 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7280 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7281 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7282 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7284 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7286 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7287 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7289 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7290 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7292 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7295 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7296 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7300 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7301 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7302 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7303 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7304 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7305 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7306 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7307 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7308 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7309 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7310 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7312 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7315 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7316 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7317 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7318 for linking it into DSOs.
7319 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7321 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7325 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7326 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7327 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7328 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7329 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7330 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7332 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7333 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7334 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7335 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7336 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7337 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7338 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7340 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7341 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7342 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7346 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7347 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7348 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7349 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7352 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7353 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7354 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7355 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7356 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7360 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7361 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7362 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7363 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7366 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7367 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7368 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7370 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7371 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7373 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7374 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7375 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7376 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7377 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7380 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7381 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7382 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7383 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7384 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7385 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7386 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7389 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7391 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7392 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7395 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7396 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7398 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7399 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7402 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7403 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7404 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7405 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7406 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7408 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7409 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7410 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7411 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7412 no way to reconfigure them.
7413 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7414 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7415 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7416 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7417 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7418 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7420 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7421 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7422 recognized by the users.
7423 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7425 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7426 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7427 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7428 already masked variable.
7429 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7431 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7432 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7434 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7435 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7436 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7437 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7439 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7440 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7441 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7443 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7444 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7445 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7446 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7447 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7448 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7449 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7450 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7454 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7455 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7456 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7458 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7459 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7463 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7464 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7466 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7467 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7468 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7469 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7472 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7475 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7476 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7478 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7481 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7482 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7485 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7486 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7489 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7490 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7491 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7492 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7493 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7494 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7495 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7498 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7499 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7501 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7502 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7503 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7504 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7505 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7507 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7508 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7509 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7512 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7513 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7517 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7518 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7519 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7521 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7522 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7523 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7527 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7528 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7529 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7530 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7533 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7534 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7535 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7536 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7539 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7540 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7541 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7542 so it wasn't spotted.
7543 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7545 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7546 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7547 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7548 vectors if you have them.
7551 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7552 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7555 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7556 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7557 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7558 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7560 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7561 it will update them.
7564 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7565 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7566 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7567 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7568 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7569 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7570 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7571 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7573 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7574 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7575 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7576 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7577 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7578 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7579 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7580 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7581 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7582 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7584 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7585 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7586 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7587 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7588 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7591 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7595 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7596 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7598 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7599 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7601 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7602 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7605 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7606 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7608 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7609 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7611 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7614 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7618 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7619 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7620 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7621 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7623 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7626 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7629 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7632 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7633 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7636 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7637 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7641 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7642 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7645 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7646 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7647 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7650 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7651 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7652 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7653 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7654 properly to be processed.
7657 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7658 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7659 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7662 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7663 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7665 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7666 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7667 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7668 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7669 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7670 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7671 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7672 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7673 or delete all the .err files.
7676 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7677 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7678 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7679 to regenerate it if needed.
7680 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7681 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7683 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7684 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7686 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7687 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7688 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7689 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7690 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7693 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7694 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7696 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7697 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7699 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7700 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7701 error, but didn't set one).
7702 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7704 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7707 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7708 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7711 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7712 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7714 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7715 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7716 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7717 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7718 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7719 OID is not part of the table.
7722 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7723 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7726 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7729 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7730 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7734 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7735 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7737 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7739 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7741 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7742 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7744 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7745 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7747 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7748 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7750 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7751 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7754 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7755 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7758 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7759 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7761 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7762 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7764 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7765 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7767 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7768 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7770 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7771 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7772 unused in the certificate verification process.
7773 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7775 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7776 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7779 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7780 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7781 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7783 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7784 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7785 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7786 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7787 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7789 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7790 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7793 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7796 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7799 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7800 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7802 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7805 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7808 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7811 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7812 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7813 other error libraries.
7816 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7819 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7820 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7824 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7825 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7826 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7827 the new set of documenation files.
7828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7830 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7831 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7832 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7833 number of arguments.
7834 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7836 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7839 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7840 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7841 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7843 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7846 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7850 unixware-2.0-pentium
7854 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7855 before they are needed.
7858 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7862 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7864 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7865 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7868 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7871 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7872 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7875 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7876 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7877 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7879 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7880 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7881 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7883 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7884 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7886 *) Updated the README file.
7887 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7889 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7890 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7893 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7894 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7895 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7897 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7898 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7899 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7900 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7901 o removed obsolete TODO file
7902 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7905 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7906 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7907 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

7910 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7911 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7913 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7916 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7917 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7918 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7920 [The OpenSSL Project]
7923 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7925 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7928 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7931 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7932 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7935 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7936 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7940 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7942 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7944 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7947 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7950 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7953 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7956 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7959 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7962 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7965 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7968 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7971 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7974 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7977 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7980 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7983 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7986 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7989 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7992 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7995 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7996 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7997 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8000 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8001 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8004 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8007 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8010 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8011 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8014 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8017 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8020 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8021 bytes sent in the client random.
