5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
8 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
9 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
10 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
12 *) Add ECDH engine support.
13 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
15 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
16 TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
17 TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
18 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
20 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
21 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
24 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
25 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
26 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
29 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
30 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
32 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
33 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
35 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
36 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
43 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
44 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
45 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
46 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
47 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
48 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
50 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
51 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
54 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
55 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
56 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
57 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
58 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
59 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
60 various internal method names.)
62 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
63 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
65 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
66 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
68 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
69 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
71 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
72 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
73 methods are undefined.
75 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
76 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
78 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
79 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
80 length of the modulus.
82 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
83 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
85 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
86 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
88 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
89 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
91 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
92 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
93 used) in the following functions [macros]:
96 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
97 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
98 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
99 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
101 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
102 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
103 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
104 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
106 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
107 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
109 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
110 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
111 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
112 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
113 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
115 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
116 This applies to the following functions:
121 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
122 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
125 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
129 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
134 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
136 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
137 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
138 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
139 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
140 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
142 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
143 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
145 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
146 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
147 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
149 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
150 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
152 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
153 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
154 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
155 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
156 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
158 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
160 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
161 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
162 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
163 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
164 These control ASN1 encoding details:
165 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
166 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
167 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
168 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
169 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
170 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
171 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
173 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
177 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
178 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
179 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
181 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
182 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
183 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
184 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
191 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
192 EC_POINT_oct2point().
193 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
195 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
196 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
197 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
199 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
200 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
201 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
202 adding different types of curves.
203 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
205 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
206 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
207 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
210 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
211 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
213 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
214 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
215 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
216 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
218 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
220 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
221 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
223 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
224 library. Most notably,
225 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
226 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
227 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
228 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
229 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
230 extracted before the specific public key;
231 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
232 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
234 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
235 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
237 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
238 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
239 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
243 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
245 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
247 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
248 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
249 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
250 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
252 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
253 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
254 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
256 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
257 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
258 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
259 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
261 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
262 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
263 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
266 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
267 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
268 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
269 mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
270 cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
271 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
272 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
273 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
276 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
277 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
278 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
281 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
282 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
283 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
284 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
285 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
287 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
288 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
290 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
291 error in AES-CFB decryption.
294 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
295 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
296 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
297 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
298 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
299 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
302 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
303 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
304 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
307 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
308 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
311 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
312 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
313 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
314 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
315 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
316 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
317 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
320 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
321 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
322 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
323 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
324 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
325 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
328 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
329 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
330 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
331 declaration has been changed from
334 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
335 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
336 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
337 has been changed into
338 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
340 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
341 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
342 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
344 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
345 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
347 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
348 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
349 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
350 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
351 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
352 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
353 always load it have also been added.
356 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
357 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
358 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
360 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
362 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
363 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
364 because it couldn't be used for anything.
366 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
367 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
368 command line option can be used to specify an
372 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
373 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
376 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
377 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
378 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
381 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
382 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
383 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
384 to work with the new engine framework.
385 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
387 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
388 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
389 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
390 to work with the new engine framework.
393 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
394 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
395 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
397 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
398 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
400 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
401 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
402 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
403 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
405 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
407 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
408 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
410 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
411 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
413 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
414 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
415 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
420 ERR_peek_last_error_line
421 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
425 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
426 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
427 still in the error queue.
428 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
430 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
432 default_algorithms = ALL
433 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
436 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
439 *) New experimental application configuration code.
442 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
443 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
444 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
445 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
447 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
448 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
450 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
451 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
453 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
454 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
457 *) New functions/macros
459 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
460 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
461 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
462 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
464 to request calling a callback function
466 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
467 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
469 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
470 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
471 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
472 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
473 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
474 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
475 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
476 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
477 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
478 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
480 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
481 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
484 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
485 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
486 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
487 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
488 the configuration scripts.
490 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
491 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
492 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
494 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
495 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
497 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
498 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
499 when reusing an existing buffer.
502 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
503 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
506 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
507 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
510 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
511 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
512 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
514 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
516 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
517 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
518 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
519 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
520 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
521 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
524 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
525 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
526 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
527 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
529 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
530 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
531 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
532 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
534 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
535 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
538 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
539 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
540 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
541 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
542 default), and then completely removed.
545 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
546 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
547 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
548 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
549 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
550 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
551 particular extension is supported.
554 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
555 to retain compatibility with existing code.
558 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
559 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
560 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
561 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
562 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
563 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
564 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
565 requires the destination to be valid.
567 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
568 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
571 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
572 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
573 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
576 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
577 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
579 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
580 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
581 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
582 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
583 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
584 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
585 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
586 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
587 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
588 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
589 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
590 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
591 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
592 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
593 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
594 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
595 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
596 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
597 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
601 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
604 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
605 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
606 become part of libeay.num as well.
609 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
610 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
611 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
612 false once a handshake has been completed.
613 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
614 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
615 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
616 client has followed the request.)
619 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
620 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
621 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
622 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
624 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
625 more bits available for options that should not be part of
626 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
629 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
632 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
633 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
634 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
637 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
638 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
641 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
642 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
643 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
644 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
647 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
648 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
649 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
650 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
651 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
652 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
655 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
656 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
657 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
658 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
659 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
660 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
661 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
662 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
665 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
666 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
669 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
672 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
673 md_data void pointer.
676 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
677 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
678 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
679 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
680 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
681 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
684 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
685 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
686 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
687 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
688 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
689 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
690 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
691 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
692 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
693 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
694 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
695 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
696 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
697 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
698 rather than letting it slide.
700 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
701 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
702 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
705 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
706 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
707 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
708 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
709 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
710 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
711 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
712 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
713 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
716 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
717 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
718 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
719 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
720 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
722 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
725 *) Add EVP test program.
728 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
731 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
732 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
733 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
734 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
735 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
738 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
739 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
740 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
741 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
742 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
743 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
744 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
746 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
747 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
748 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
753 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
754 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
755 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
756 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
757 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
761 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
762 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
763 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
764 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
769 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
770 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
772 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
775 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
776 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
777 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
778 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
779 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
780 functions prevents this.
783 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
786 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
790 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
791 revocation information is handled using the text based index
792 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
793 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
794 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
797 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
800 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
801 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
802 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
803 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
805 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
806 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
808 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
809 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
810 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
813 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
814 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
815 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
816 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
819 *) Speed up EVP routines.
822 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

837 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
838 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
840 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
841 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
842 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
843 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
844 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
845 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
848 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
849 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
852 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
853 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
854 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
855 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
857 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
858 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
859 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
860 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
861 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
862 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
866 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
867 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
868 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
869 and interrupts/cancellations.
872 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
873 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
876 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
877 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
878 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
880 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
881 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
885 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
886 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
887 than this minimum value is recommended.
890 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
891 that are easily reachable.
894 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
895 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
897 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
899 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
900 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
901 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
902 needed for static libraries under Win32.
905 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
906 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
907 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
910 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
911 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
912 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
913 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
914 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
915 internally such as S/MIME.
917 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
918 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
919 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
921 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
925 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
926 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
927 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
928 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
930 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
932 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
934 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
935 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
936 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
940 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
941 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
942 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
943 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
944 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
945 a window system and the like.
948 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
949 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
952 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
953 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
954 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
955 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
956 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
957 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
958 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
959 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
960 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
964 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
965 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
969 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
970 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
971 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
972 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
973 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
974 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
975 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
976 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
979 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
980 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
981 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
982 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
983 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
984 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
985 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
986 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
987 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
988 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
989 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
990 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
991 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
992 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
993 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
994 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
995 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
998 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
999 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1000 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1001 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1002 internal engine_int.h header.
1005 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1006 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1007 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1008 modify their own ones).
1011 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1012 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1013 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1014 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1015 later on via ctrl() commands.
1016 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1017 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1018 structural references.
1019 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1020 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1021 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1022 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1023 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1024 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1025 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1026 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1027 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1028 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1029 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1030 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1033 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1034 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1035 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1036 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1037 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1038 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1039 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1040 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1043 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1044 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1047 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1048 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1051 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1052 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1053 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1054 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1055 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1056 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1057 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1060 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1061 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1062 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1063 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1064 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1066 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1067 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1071 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1073 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1074 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1075 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1077 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1078 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1080 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1081 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1082 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1084 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1085 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1087 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1088 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1090 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1092 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1093 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1094 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1097 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1098 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1101 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1102 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1103 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1104 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1105 is 40 of more characters long.
1108 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1109 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1113 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1114 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1117 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1118 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1122 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1124 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1125 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1128 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1130 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1131 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1132 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1134 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1135 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1137 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1140 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1144 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1145 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1146 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1147 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1149 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1151 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1152 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1154 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1155 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1156 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1157 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1158 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1159 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1161 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1162 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1164 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1165 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1167 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1168 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1170 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1171 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1172 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1173 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1175 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1176 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1178 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1179 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1181 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1182 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1183 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1184 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1185 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1188 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1189 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1190 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1191 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1194 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1195 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1196 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1200 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1201 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1202 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1203 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1204 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1205 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1206 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1207 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1211 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1212 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1215 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1216 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1217 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1218 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1221 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1222 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1223 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1224 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1225 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1226 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1227 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1228 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1229 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1230 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1233 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1234 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1235 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1236 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1237 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1238 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1239 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1240 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1242 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1243 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1244 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1245 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1248 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1249 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1250 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1251 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1253 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1254 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1255 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1256 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1257 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1261 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1262 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1263 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1264 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1268 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1269 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1270 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1273 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1274 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1275 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1276 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1277 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1280 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1283 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1284 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1285 option to ocsp utility.
1288 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1289 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1290 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1291 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1292 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1293 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1294 the request is nonce-less.
1297 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1298 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1299 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1302 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1303 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1304 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1307 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1308 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1309 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1310 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1311 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1314 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1315 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1319 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1320 additional certificates supplied.
1323 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1324 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1328 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1329 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1332 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1333 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1334 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1335 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1336 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1337 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1338 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1339 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1340 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1342 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1343 request to response.
1346 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1347 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1348 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1349 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1350 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1351 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1352 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1353 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1354 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1355 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1356 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1359 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1360 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1361 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1362 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1365 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1366 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1368 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1369 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1370 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1373 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1374 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1375 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1376 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1377 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1379 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1380 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1381 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1384 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1385 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1386 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1387 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1388 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1389 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1390 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1391 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1393 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1394 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1395 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1396 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1397 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1398 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1401 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1402 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1403 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1404 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1405 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1406 printout format cleaned up.
1409 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1410 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1411 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1412 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1413 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1414 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1415 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1416 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1419 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1420 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1421 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1422 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1423 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1424 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1425 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1426 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1429 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1430 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1431 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1432 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1434 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1436 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1437 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1438 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1439 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1442 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1443 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1444 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1445 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1447 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1449 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1450 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1451 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1452 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1454 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1455 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1457 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1458 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1459 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1462 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1463 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1464 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1467 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1468 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1469 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1470 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1471 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1472 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1473 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1474 functions are provided:
1476 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1477 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1478 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1479 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1481 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1482 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1483 extended allocation function is enabled.
1484 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1485 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1486 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1488 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1489 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1490 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1491 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1492 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1495 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1496 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1497 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1499 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1500 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1501 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1504 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1505 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1506 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1507 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1508 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1509 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1510 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1511 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1512 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1515 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1516 provide utility functions which an application needing
1517 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1518 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1519 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1521 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1522 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1523 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1524 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1525 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1526 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1527 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1528 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1529 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1531 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1532 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1533 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1534 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1537 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1538 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1539 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1540 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1541 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1542 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1543 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1544 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1545 will be added elsewhere.
1548 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1549 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1550 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1551 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1554 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1555 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1556 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1557 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1558 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1559 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1560 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1561 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1562 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1563 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1564 to produce the required SET OF.
1567 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1568 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1569 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1572 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1573 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1574 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1575 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1576 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1577 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1580 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1581 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1582 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1585 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1586 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1587 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1590 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1591 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1592 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1593 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1594 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1597 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1598 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1601 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1602 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1603 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1604 certifcates and CRLs.
1607 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1608 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1609 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1612 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1613 entries for variables.
1616 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1617 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1618 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1619 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1622 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1623 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1624 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1625 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1626 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1627 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1630 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1631 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1633 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1634 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1635 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1638 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1642 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1643 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1644 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1645 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1646 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1647 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1650 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1653 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1654 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1655 for now but they will eventually go away.
1658 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1659 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1660 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1661 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1662 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1663 has also been converted to the new form.
1666 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1667 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1668 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1669 for negative moduli.
1672 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1673 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1676 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1680 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1681 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1682 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1683 type-specific callbacks.
1686 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1688 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1689 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1691 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1692 in sections depending on the subject.
1695 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1699 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1700 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1701 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1702 be handled deterministically).
1703 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1705 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1706 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1707 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1710 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1713 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1714 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1715 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1716 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1717 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1720 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1721 sign of the number in question.
1723 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1725 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1726 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1727 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1728 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1729 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1732 *) New function BN_swap.
1735 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1736 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1737 results on negative inputs.
1740 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1741 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1742 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1745 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1746 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1747 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1748 and add new functions:
1757 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1761 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1763 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1764 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1766 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1767 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1768 be reduced modulo m.
1769 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1771 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1772 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1773 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1774 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1775 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1776 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1780 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1781 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1782 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1783 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1784 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1786 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1787 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1788 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1792 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1795 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1796 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1799 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1800 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1801 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1802 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1806 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1809 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1812 *) Add the following functions:
1814 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1816 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1818 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1820 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1821 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1822 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1823 libraries unless it's really needed.
1825 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1826 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1827 declarations (they differed!).
1830 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1833 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1836 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1839 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1840 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1843 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1844 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1845 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1847 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1848 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1851 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1854 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1857 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1860 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1861 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1862 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1864 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1865 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1866 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1867 different shared library filenames on each system.
1870 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1873 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1874 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1875 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1877 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1880 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1881 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1882 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1883 binary backward compatibility.
1884 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1885 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1886 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1890 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1891 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1892 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1893 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1897 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1900 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1901 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1902 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1903 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1907 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1910 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [xx XXX xxxx]
1912 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
1913 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
1916 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
1918 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
1919 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
1920 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
1922 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
1924 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
1925 and get fix the header length calculation.
1926 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
1927 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
1930 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1931 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1932 assertions could call abort()).
1933 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1935 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1937 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1938 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1939 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1941 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1943 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1944 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1945 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1948 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1952 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1953 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1954 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1956 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1957 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1958 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1959 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1960 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1964 *) Changes in security patch:
1966 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
1967 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
1968 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
1971 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1972 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1973 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1974 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
1975 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1977 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
1979 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1981 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
1982 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
1983 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
1985 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1986 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1988 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1990 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1991 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
1992 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1994 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
1995 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
1996 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1998 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2000 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2001 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2002 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2004 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2005 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2007 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2008 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2009 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2010 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2011 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2012 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2015 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2016 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2017 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2018 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2021 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2024 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2025 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2026 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2027 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2028 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2029 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2031 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2032 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2033 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2034 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2035 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2038 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2039 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2040 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2041 BN_generate_prime().)
2043 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2044 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2045 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2049 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2050 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2053 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2054 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2055 when using non-blocking I/O.
2056 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2058 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2059 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2061 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2062 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2065 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2066 configuration for the versions before that.
2067 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2069 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2070 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2071 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2072 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2075 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2076 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2077 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2080 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2084 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2085 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2087 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2088 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2089 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2091 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2092 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2093 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2094 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2095 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2096 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2097 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2100 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2101 using a local variable.
2102 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2104 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2105 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2106 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2108 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2111 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2112 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2114 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2115 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2116 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2118 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2120 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2121 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2122 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2123 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2126 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2130 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2131 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2132 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2133 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2134 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2136 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2137 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2138 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2140 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2141 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2142 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2144 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2145 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2146 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2147 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2149 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2150 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2151 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2153 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2155 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2156 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2158 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2160 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2161 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2162 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2163 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2165 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2166 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2167 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2168 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2170 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2171 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2173 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2174 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2175 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2178 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2179 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2180 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2182 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2184 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2185 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2186 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2187 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2188 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2189 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2190 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2193 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2194 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2195 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2196 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2198 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2199 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2200 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2201 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2202 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2203 the client will at least see that alert.
2206 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2210 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2211 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2212 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2214 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2215 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2216 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2217 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2220 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2221 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2222 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2224 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2225 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2226 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2227 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2228 may leak via logfiles.)
2230 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2231 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2232 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2233 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2237 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2238 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2241 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2242 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2243 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2244 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2245 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2248 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2249 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2251 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2252 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2253 followed by modular reduction.
2254 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2256 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2257 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2260 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2261 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2262 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2263 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2266 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2269 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2270 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2273 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2274 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2275 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2276 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2277 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2278 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2280 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2282 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2283 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2284 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2285 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2286 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2288 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2291 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2292 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2293 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2294 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2295 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2296 to allow the necessary settings.
2299 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2300 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2301 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2302 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2305 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2306 dh->length and always used
2308 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2310 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2311 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2312 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2313 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2314 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2319 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2321 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2327 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2328 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2329 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2330 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2332 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2333 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2334 always reject numbers >= n.
2337 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2338 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2339 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2340 variable) is not atomic.
2343 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2344 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2345 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2346 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2348 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2349 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2351 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2353 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2355 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2358 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2360 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2361 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2362 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2363 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2364 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2365 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2366 to traverse all of 'state'.
2368 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2369 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2370 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2372 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2373 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2375 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2376 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2377 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2378 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2379 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2380 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2381 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2382 further strengthens the PRNG.
2385 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2388 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2389 an error message in this case.
2392 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2395 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2396 positive and less than q.
2399 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2400 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2402 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2404 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2405 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2409 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2411 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2412 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2413 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2414 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2415 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2416 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2417 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2420 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2421 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2422 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2423 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2425 Both problems are now fixed.
2428 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2429 (previously it was 1024).
2432 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2433 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2436 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2439 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2440 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2441 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2444 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2445 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2446 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2447 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2448 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2449 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2450 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2451 environment variables.
2453 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2454 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2455 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2458 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2459 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2460 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2461 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2462 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2463 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2466 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2470 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2472 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2473 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2475 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2476 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2477 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2478 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2482 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2483 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2484 amount of data available.
2485 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2486 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2488 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2489 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2490 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2491 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2494 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2495 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2499 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2500 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2501 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2502 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2505 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2508 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2511 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2512 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2514 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2516 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2517 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2518 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2519 (but broken) behaviour.
2522 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2524 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2526 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2527 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2530 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2534 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2535 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2537 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2540 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2541 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2542 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2544 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2545 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2546 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2549 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2550 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2553 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2554 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2556 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2558 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2560 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2561 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2562 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2563 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2566 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2569 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2570 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2571 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2573 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2576 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2578 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2579 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2580 but the code is actually correct.
2583 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2584 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2585 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2586 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2587 and leaves the highest bit random.
2588 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2590 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2591 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2592 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2593 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2594 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2595 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2596 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2599 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2602 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2603 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2606 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2607 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2608 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2609 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2613 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2614 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2615 and break the signature.
2617 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2619 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2623 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2624 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2625 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2626 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2627 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2630 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2631 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2633 *) ./config script fixes.
2634 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2636 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2639 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2640 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2641 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2642 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2643 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2645 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2646 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2649 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2650 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2653 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2654 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2655 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2656 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2658 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2659 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2661 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2662 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2663 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2664 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2665 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2667 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2670 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2673 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2676 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2679 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2680 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2683 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2684 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2685 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2686 result of the server certificate verification.)
2689 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2690 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2691 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2695 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2696 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2697 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2698 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2699 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2700 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2701 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2702 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2705 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2706 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2707 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2708 happening the other way round.
2711 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2712 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2715 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2716 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2717 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2718 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2721 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2722 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2724 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2726 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2727 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2728 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2731 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2733 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2735 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2739 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2741 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2742 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2743 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2744 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2745 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2747 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2748 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2752 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2755 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2757 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2758 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2759 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2760 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2761 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2762 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2763 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2764 by the Finished messages.
2767 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2768 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2770 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2771 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2772 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2773 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2774 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2778 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2779 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2780 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2781 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2782 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2783 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2784 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2785 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2786 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2790 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2791 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2792 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2793 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2795 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2796 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2797 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2798 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2799 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2802 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2803 been tested well enough.
2806 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2807 it can return incorrect results.
2808 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2809 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2812 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2813 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2814 include zero length content when signing messages.
2817 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2818 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2821 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2824 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2828 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2829 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2830 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2831 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2832 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2833 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2836 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2837 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2839 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2840 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2842 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2843 random number < q in the DSA library.
2846 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2847 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2848 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2849 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2850 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2851 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2852 just makes things more complicated.)
2855 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2859 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2860 work better on such systems.
2861 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2863 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2864 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2865 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2868 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2869 if there was more than one signature.
2870 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2872 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2873 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2874 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2875 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2878 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2879 rather than always using the current time.
2882 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2883 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2884 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2885 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2886 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2887 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2889 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2890 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2892 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2894 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2895 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2896 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2897 the same hash value.
2899 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2900 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2901 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2902 with X509_STORE internally.
2904 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2905 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2907 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2908 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2909 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2910 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2911 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2912 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2913 entirely (maybe later...).
2915 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2917 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2918 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2919 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2920 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2921 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2922 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2923 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2924 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2926 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2927 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2929 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2930 to customise the verify behaviour.
2933 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2934 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2937 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2938 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2939 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2940 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2941 request is improperly encoded.
2944 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2945 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2948 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2949 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2951 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2952 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2956 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2957 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2958 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2961 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2962 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2963 BIO/fp routines also added.
2966 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2967 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2969 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2970 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2971 demos/state_machine.
2974 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2975 generation and verification.
2978 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2979 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2980 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2981 encode and decode it manually.
2984 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2986 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2988 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2989 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2990 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2991 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2993 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2994 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2995 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2996 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2997 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3000 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3003 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3004 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3005 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3007 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3008 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3009 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3010 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3011 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3012 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3013 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3014 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3016 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3017 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3019 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3021 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3022 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3023 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3027 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3028 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3029 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3030 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3034 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3036 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3039 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3040 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3041 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3042 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3043 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3044 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3045 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3046 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3047 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3048 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3049 short or long names are found.
3052 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3053 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3055 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3056 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3057 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3058 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3060 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3061 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3062 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3063 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3066 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3067 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3068 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3071 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3072 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3073 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3074 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3075 to allow the various flags to be set.
3078 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3079 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3080 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3081 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3082 dates to be checked.
3085 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3086 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3087 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3090 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3091 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3092 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3095 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3096 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3099 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3100 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3101 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3102 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3103 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3104 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3107 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3108 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3112 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3116 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3117 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3118 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3119 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3120 form signing output easier to verify.
3123 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3126 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3127 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3128 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3129 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3130 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3131 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3132 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3133 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3134 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3135 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3138 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3140 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3141 the syntax given in objects.README.
3142 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3144 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3147 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3148 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3149 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3150 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3151 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3152 consistent name changes.
3155 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3158 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3159 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3160 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3161 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3164 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3165 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3166 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3170 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3171 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3172 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3173 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3176 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3177 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3178 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3179 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3180 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3181 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3182 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3183 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3184 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3185 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3186 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3189 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3190 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3191 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3192 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3193 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3194 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3195 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3196 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3197 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3198 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3201 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3202 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3203 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3204 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3206 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3207 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3208 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3209 omit any duplicate addresses.
3212 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3213 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3216 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3217 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3218 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3219 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3220 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3223 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3225 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3226 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3227 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3228 Free => OPENSSL_free
3231 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3232 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3235 *) CygWin32 support.
3236 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3238 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3239 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3240 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3241 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3242 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3246 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3247 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3248 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3249 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3250 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3251 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3252 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3255 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3256 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3257 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3258 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3259 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3260 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3261 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3262 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3263 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3264 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3265 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3268 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3269 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3270 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3271 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3272 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3274 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3275 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3276 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3277 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3278 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3280 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3283 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3284 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3285 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3286 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3288 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3290 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3293 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3294 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3295 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3298 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3299 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3300 any installed hardware versions can.
3303 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3304 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3305 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3309 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3310 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3311 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3312 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3313 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3315 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3316 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3319 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3320 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3323 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3324 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3325 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3329 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3332 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3333 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3334 but no ssl client purpose.
3335 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3337 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3338 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3339 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3340 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3341 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3342 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3343 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3344 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3345 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3346 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3347 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3350 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3351 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3352 be obtained from the error queue.
3355 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3356 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3357 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3358 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3361 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3364 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3365 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3366 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3367 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3368 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3371 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3372 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3373 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3374 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3375 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3378 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3379 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3380 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3382 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3384 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3385 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3386 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3387 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3388 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3389 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3390 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3391 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3392 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3393 or "the configuration storage API"...
3395 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3397 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3398 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3400 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3402 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3404 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3405 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3406 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3407 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3408 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3409 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3410 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3412 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3413 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3416 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3417 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3418 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3419 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3422 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3423 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3424 them in a portable way.
3425 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3427 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3429 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3431 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3432 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3434 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3435 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3436 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3439 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3440 was larger than the MD block size.
3441 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3443 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3444 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3445 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3446 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3450 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3451 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3452 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3454 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3456 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3458 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3459 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3460 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3461 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3462 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3463 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3465 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3466 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3468 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3469 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3472 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3475 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3476 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3478 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3479 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3480 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3481 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3484 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3485 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3486 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3487 does not suppress any output.
3490 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3491 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3492 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3493 with all the associated security issues.
3495 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3496 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3497 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3498 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3499 use the value in the default purpose.
3502 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3503 and fix a memory leak.
3506 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3507 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3508 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3509 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3512 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3513 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3514 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3515 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3518 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3519 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3520 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3523 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3524 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3527 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3528 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3532 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3533 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3536 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3537 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3538 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3541 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3542 number generation fails.
3545 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3548 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3549 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3551 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3554 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3555 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3557 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3558 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3560 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3562 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3563 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3566 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3567 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3569 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3570 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3573 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3574 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3575 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3576 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3577 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3578 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3580 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3581 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3582 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3586 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3587 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3588 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3589 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3590 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3591 counter, some don't.)
3592 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3593 counters or duplicate objects.
3596 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3597 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3600 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3601 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3602 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3604 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3605 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3606 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3610 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3611 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3614 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3615 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3616 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3620 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3621 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3622 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3625 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3626 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3627 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3628 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3629 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3630 should work without changes.
3633 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3634 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3635 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3636 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3637 must be defined. E.g.,
3638 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3639 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3640 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3641 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3643 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3647 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3648 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3649 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3652 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3653 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3654 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3655 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3658 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3659 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3660 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3661 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3662 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3663 is prompted for as usual.
3666 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3667 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3668 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3669 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3671 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3672 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3673 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3674 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3677 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3680 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3684 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3687 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3690 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3694 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3697 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3700 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3701 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3704 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3705 options to produce them.
3708 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3709 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3712 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3716 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3717 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3718 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3719 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3720 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3721 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3722 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3725 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3728 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3729 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3730 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3733 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3734 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3736 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3737 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3740 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3741 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3742 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3746 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3747 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3749 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3750 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3751 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3752 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3753 generation becomes much faster.
3755 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3756 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3757 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3758 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3759 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3760 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3761 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3762 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3763 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3764 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3767 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3768 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3769 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3770 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3771 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3772 trial division stage.
3775 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3779 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3782 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3785 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3786 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3787 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3791 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3792 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3793 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3796 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3797 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3798 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3799 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3801 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3802 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3805 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3808 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3809 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3810 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3811 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3814 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3815 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3816 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3819 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3820 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3821 (instead of parameters) in future.
3824 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3825 when a new cipher list is set.
3828 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3829 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3832 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3833 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3834 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3836 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3837 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3838 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3839 an error is flagged.
3841 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3842 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3843 the readability was also increased :-)
3844 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3846 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3847 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3848 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3849 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3853 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3854 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3857 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3858 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3859 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3860 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3863 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3864 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3865 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3866 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3867 because they handle more complex structures.)
3870 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3871 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3872 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3873 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3875 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3876 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3877 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3878 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3879 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3880 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3881 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3884 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3885 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3886 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3887 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3888 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3891 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3894 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3895 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3896 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3897 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3898 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3901 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3905 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3906 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3907 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3908 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3911 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3914 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3915 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3916 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3917 international characters are used.
3919 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3920 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3921 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3925 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3926 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3927 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3930 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3931 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3932 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3933 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3934 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3935 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3937 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3938 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3939 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3940 be handled by the string table functions.
3942 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3943 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3944 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3945 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3946 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3950 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3951 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3952 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3953 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3954 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3956 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3957 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3958 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3959 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3962 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3963 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3964 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3965 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3966 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3970 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3971 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3972 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3973 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3974 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3975 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3976 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3977 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3979 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3980 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3981 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3984 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3985 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3986 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3987 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3988 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3989 support to pkcs8 application.
3992 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3993 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3994 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3995 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3996 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3997 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4000 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4001 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4002 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4003 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4004 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4008 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4009 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4010 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4011 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4015 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4016 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4017 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4018 and any application specific purposes.
4020 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4021 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4022 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4023 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4024 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4025 if the certificate is self signed.
4028 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4029 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4032 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4033 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4034 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4035 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4038 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4039 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4040 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4041 Update documentation.
4044 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4045 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4046 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4047 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4048 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4051 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4053 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4055 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4056 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4057 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4058 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4059 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4060 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4061 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4062 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4063 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4064 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4066 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4068 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4069 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4070 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4071 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4072 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4074 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4075 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4076 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4077 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4078 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4079 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4080 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4081 request additional information:
4082 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4083 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4085 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4086 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4087 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4090 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4091 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4094 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4097 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4098 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4100 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4101 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4102 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4106 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4107 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4108 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4110 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4111 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4112 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4113 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4114 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4115 included in OpenSSL.
4118 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4119 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4120 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4121 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4122 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4123 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4126 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4130 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4131 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4132 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4133 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4134 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4138 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4142 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4143 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4144 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4145 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4146 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4147 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4148 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4149 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4150 be maintained manually.
4152 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4153 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4154 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4155 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4156 work because people forget to call this function]
4157 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4158 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4159 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4162 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4163 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4164 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4165 should be discouraged from doing it.
4168 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4169 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4170 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4171 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4172 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4173 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4176 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4177 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4178 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4180 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4181 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4182 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4184 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4185 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4186 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4187 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4188 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4189 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4191 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4192 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4193 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4195 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4196 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4199 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4200 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4201 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4202 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4205 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4208 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4209 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4210 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4211 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4212 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4213 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4214 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4215 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4216 keys so we should be OK.
4218 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4219 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4220 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4221 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4222 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4223 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4224 stay in the name of compatibility.
4226 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4227 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4228 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4230 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4231 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4232 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4233 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4234 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4235 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4239 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4240 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4241 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4242 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4243 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4244 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4245 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4246 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4247 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4248 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4249 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4250 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4251 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4254 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4257 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4258 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4259 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4260 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4261 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4262 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4263 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4264 openssl verify ss.pem
4265 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4266 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4270 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4271 (and add it to external session representation).
4272 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4273 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4274 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4275 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4276 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4277 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4279 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4281 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4282 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4283 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4284 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4286 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4287 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4288 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4291 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4292 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4293 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4297 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4298 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4299 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4301 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4302 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4303 certificate auxiliary information.
4306 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4310 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4311 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4312 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4313 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4314 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4315 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4316 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4319 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4320 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4323 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4324 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4325 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4326 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4329 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4332 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4333 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4336 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4337 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4338 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4339 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4340 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4341 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4342 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4343 using the new 'x509' options.
4345 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4346 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4347 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4348 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4352 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4353 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4354 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4355 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4356 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4359 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4360 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4361 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4362 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4363 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4364 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4365 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4366 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4367 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4368 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4371 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4372 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4373 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4374 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4375 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4376 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4377 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4380 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4381 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4382 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4383 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4384 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4385 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4386 openssl.cnf for more info.
4389 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4390 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4391 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4392 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4393 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4394 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4395 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4396 md should be large enough anyway.
4399 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4400 for handling the random seed file.
4402 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4404 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4407 x509 (when signing).
4408 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4409 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4410 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4412 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4413 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4414 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4415 that support '-rand'.
4418 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4419 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4422 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4423 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4426 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4427 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4428 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4429 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4433 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4434 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4435 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4436 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4439 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4440 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4441 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4442 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4443 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4444 print out all the purposes.
4447 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4451 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4452 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4453 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4454 single function call.
4457 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4458 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4461 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4462 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4463 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4466 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4467 when producing the local key id.
4468 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4470 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4471 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4472 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4476 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4477 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4478 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4479 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4482 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4483 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4484 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4485 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4487 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4488 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4489 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4490 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4492 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4493 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4494 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4495 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4496 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4497 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4498 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4499 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4500 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4501 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4502 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4503 trivial: move one line.
4504 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4506 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4507 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4508 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4509 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4510 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4511 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4512 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4513 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4514 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4515 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4516 with an event loop for example.
4519 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4520 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4521 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4522 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4523 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4524 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4525 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4526 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4527 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4530 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4531 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4532 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4533 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4534 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4535 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4538 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4539 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4540 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4541 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4543 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4544 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4545 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4546 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4550 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4551 (still largely untested)
4554 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4555 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4558 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4559 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4562 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4563 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4564 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4567 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4568 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4569 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4570 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4571 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4574 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4577 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4578 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4579 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4580 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4581 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4585 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4586 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4589 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4592 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4593 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4594 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4595 are otherwise ignored at present.
4598 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4599 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4600 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4601 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4602 copied until the next read.
4605 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4606 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4607 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4610 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4611 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4612 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4613 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4614 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4615 associated functions.
4618 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4619 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4620 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4621 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4622 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4623 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4624 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4625 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4626 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4630 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4631 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4632 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4633 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4636 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4637 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4638 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4639 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4640 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4644 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4645 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4649 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4650 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4651 extensions to be obtained and added.
4654 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4655 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4658 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4660 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4661 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4663 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4664 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4666 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4670 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4671 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4672 DH parameters contain its length).
4674 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4675 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4676 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4677 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4678 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4679 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4680 utter importance to use
4681 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4683 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4684 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4685 attacks may become possible!
4688 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4691 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4692 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4695 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4696 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4697 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4701 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4702 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4703 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4704 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4705 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4706 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4707 private key operations.
4710 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4713 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4714 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4716 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4717 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4718 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4719 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4720 the password callback is called.
4721 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4723 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4725 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4726 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4727 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4728 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4729 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4730 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4733 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4734 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4735 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4736 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4737 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4738 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4741 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4744 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4745 delete an unused file.
4748 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4749 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4750 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4751 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4754 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4755 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4756 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4760 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4761 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4762 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4764 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4765 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4766 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4767 comparison" warnings.
4768 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4771 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4772 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4773 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4776 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4777 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4779 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4780 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4782 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4783 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4784 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4786 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4787 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4788 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4789 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4790 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4792 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4794 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4795 The interface is as follows:
4796 Applications can use
4797 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4798 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4799 "off" is now the default.
4800 The library internally uses
4801 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4802 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4803 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4805 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4806 even the default) are now avoided.
4808 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4809 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4810 than just having a counter.
4812 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4814 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4818 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4819 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4820 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4821 Initial "mode" flags are:
4823 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4824 a single record has been written.
4825 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4826 retries use the same buffer location.
4827 (But all of the contents must be
4831 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4834 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4835 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4837 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4838 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4839 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4842 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4843 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4845 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4847 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4848 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4849 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4850 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4852 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4853 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4855 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4856 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4857 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4858 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4859 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4860 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4863 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4864 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4865 necessary function names.
4868 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4869 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4870 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4871 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4874 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4875 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4876 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4879 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4880 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4881 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4882 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4884 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4888 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4889 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4890 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4893 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4894 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4898 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4899 for the encoded length.
4900 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4902 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4905 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4906 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4907 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4908 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4911 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4912 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4913 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4915 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4916 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4917 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4921 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4922 to use the new extension code.
4925 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4926 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4927 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4931 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4932 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4933 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4937 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4940 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4941 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4942 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4945 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4946 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4947 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4948 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4951 *) DES library cleanups.
4954 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4955 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4956 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4957 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4958 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4962 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4963 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4966 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4967 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4968 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4969 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4970 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4971 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4972 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4973 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4974 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4977 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4978 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4979 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4980 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4981 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4982 value doesn't matter.
4985 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4989 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4990 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4991 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4992 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4994 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4997 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4998 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4999 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5001 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5002 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5004 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5007 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5010 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5013 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5017 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5019 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5021 *) Updated some demos.
5022 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5024 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5027 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5030 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5033 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5034 instead of using a fixed path.
5037 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5040 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5044 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5046 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5047 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5048 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5050 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5051 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5052 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5053 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5054 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5055 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5056 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5057 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5058 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5059 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5062 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5063 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5066 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5067 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5068 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5069 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5070 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5072 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5075 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5076 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5077 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5080 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5083 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5084 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5085 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5086 key elements as negative integers.
5089 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5090 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5093 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5095 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5096 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5097 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5100 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5101 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5102 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5103 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5104 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5107 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5110 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5111 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5112 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5113 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5115 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5116 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5117 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5119 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5120 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5121 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5122 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5123 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5124 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5125 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5126 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5127 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5129 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5130 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5131 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5132 does not influence s as it used to.
5134 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5135 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5136 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5137 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5138 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5139 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5142 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5143 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5144 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5148 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5149 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5150 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5154 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5155 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5156 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5160 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5161 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5164 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5165 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5170 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5171 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5173 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5174 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5176 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5179 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5182 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5183 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5185 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5186 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5187 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5191 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5192 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5193 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5194 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5195 now it really counts the depth.
5198 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5199 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5200 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5201 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5202 didn't match the private key).
5204 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5205 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5206 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5209 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5212 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5216 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5217 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5218 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5221 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5224 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5225 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5226 such as /usr/local/bin.
5229 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5230 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5232 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5235 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5236 extension adding in x509 utility.
5239 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5242 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5246 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5249 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5250 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5251 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5252 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5253 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5254 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5255 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5256 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5257 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5258 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5261 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5264 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5265 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5268 *) Fix some race conditions.
5271 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5272 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5275 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5278 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5279 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5280 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5281 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5283 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5284 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5286 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5287 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5288 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5290 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5291 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5293 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5296 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5297 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5299 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5302 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5303 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5305 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5306 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5309 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5310 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5313 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5314 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5317 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5318 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5321 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5322 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5325 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5326 support typesafe stack.
5329 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5330 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5332 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5333 old X509V3 handling code.
5336 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5339 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5342 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5345 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5346 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5348 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5349 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5350 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5351 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5352 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5355 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5356 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5357 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5358 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5359 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5361 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5362 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5363 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5366 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5367 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5368 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5371 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5372 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5373 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5374 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5375 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5376 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5379 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5380 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5383 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5384 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5387 *) Tweaks to Configure
5388 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5390 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5394 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5397 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5398 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5401 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5402 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5403 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5406 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5409 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5410 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5413 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5414 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5415 to library startup routines.
5418 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5419 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5420 codes along the way.
5423 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5424 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5425 objects to objects.h
5428 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5429 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5432 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5433 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5435 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5436 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5437 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5439 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5440 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5441 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5443 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5444 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5445 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5448 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5450 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5451 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5454 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5455 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5456 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5457 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5458 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5460 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5461 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5462 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5464 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5466 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5468 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5470 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5471 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5473 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5474 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5475 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5476 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5478 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5481 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5482 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5483 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5484 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5487 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5488 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5489 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5492 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5493 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5494 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5495 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5496 installed as `perl').
5497 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5499 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5500 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5502 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5503 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5504 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5505 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5506 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5509 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5512 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5513 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5514 is horrible: I feel ill....
5517 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5518 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5519 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5520 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5523 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5524 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5526 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5527 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5528 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5529 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5531 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5532 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5533 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5534 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5535 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5536 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5538 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5540 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5541 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5543 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5544 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5546 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5549 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5550 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5554 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5555 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5556 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5557 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5558 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5559 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5560 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5561 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5562 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5563 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5564 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5566 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5569 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5570 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5571 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5572 for linking it into DSOs.
5573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5575 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5579 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5580 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5581 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5582 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5583 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5584 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5586 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5587 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5588 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5589 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5590 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5591 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5592 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5594 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5595 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5596 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5600 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5601 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5602 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5603 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5606 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5607 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5608 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5609 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5610 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5614 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5615 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5616 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5617 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5618 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5620 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5621 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5622 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5624 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5625 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5627 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5628 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5629 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5630 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5631 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5634 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5635 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5636 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5637 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5638 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5639 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5640 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5643 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5645 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5646 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5649 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5650 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5652 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5653 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5656 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5657 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5658 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5659 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5660 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5662 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5663 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5664 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5665 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5666 no way to reconfigure them.
5667 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5668 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5669 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5670 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5671 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5674 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5675 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5676 recognized by the users.
5677 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5679 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5680 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5681 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5682 already masked variable.
5683 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5685 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5686 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5688 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5689 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5690 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5691 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5693 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5694 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5695 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5697 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5698 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5699 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5700 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5701 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5702 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5703 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5704 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5708 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5709 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5710 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5712 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5713 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5717 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5718 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5720 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5721 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5722 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5723 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5726 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5729 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5730 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5732 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5735 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5736 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5739 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5740 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5743 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5744 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5745 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5746 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5747 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5748 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5749 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5752 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5753 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5755 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5756 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5757 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5758 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5759 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5761 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5762 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5763 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5766 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5767 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5771 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5772 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5773 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5775 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5776 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5777 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5781 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5782 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5783 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5784 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5787 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5788 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5789 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5790 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5793 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5794 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5795 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5796 so it wasn't spotted.
5797 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5799 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5800 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5801 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5802 vectors if you have them.
5805 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5806 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5809 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5810 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5811 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5812 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5814 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5815 it will update them.
5818 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5819 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5820 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5821 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5822 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5823 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5824 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5825 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5827 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5828 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5829 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5830 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5831 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5832 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5833 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5834 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5835 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5836 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5838 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5839 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5840 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5841 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5842 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5845 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5849 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5850 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5852 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5853 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5855 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5856 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5859 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5860 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5862 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5863 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5865 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5868 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5872 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5873 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5874 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5875 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5877 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5880 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5883 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5886 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5887 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5890 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5891 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5895 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5896 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5899 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5900 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5901 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5904 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5905 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5906 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5907 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5908 properly to be processed.
5911 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5912 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5913 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5916 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5917 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5919 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5920 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5921 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5922 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5923 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5924 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5925 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5926 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5927 or delete all the .err files.
5930 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5931 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5932 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5933 to regenerate it if needed.
5934 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5935 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5937 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5938 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5940 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5941 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5942 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5943 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5944 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5947 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5948 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5950 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5951 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5953 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5954 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5955 error, but didn't set one).
5956 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5958 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5961 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5962 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5965 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5966 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5968 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5969 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5970 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5971 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5972 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5973 OID is not part of the table.
5976 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5977 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5980 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5983 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5984 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5988 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5989 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5991 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5993 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5995 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5996 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5998 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5999 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6001 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6002 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6004 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6005 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6008 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6009 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6012 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6013 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6015 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6016 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6018 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6019 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6021 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6022 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6024 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6025 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6026 unused in the certificate verification process.
6027 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6029 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6030 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6033 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6034 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6035 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6037 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6038 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6039 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6040 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6041 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6043 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6044 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6047 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6050 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6053 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6054 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6056 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6059 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6062 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6065 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6066 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6067 other error libraries.
6070 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6073 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6074 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6078 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6079 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6080 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6081 the new set of documenation files.
6082 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6084 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6085 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6086 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6087 number of arguments.
6088 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6090 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6093 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6094 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6095 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6097 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6100 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6104 unixware-2.0-pentium
6108 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6109 before they are needed.
6112 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6116 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6118 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6119 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6122 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6125 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6126 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6127 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6129 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6130 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6131 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6133 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6134 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6135 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6137 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6138 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6140 *) Updated the README file.
6141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6143 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6144 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6145 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6147 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6148 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6149 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6151 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6152 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6153 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6154 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6155 o removed obsolete TODO file
6156 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6157 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6159 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6160 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6161 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

6164 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6165 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6167 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6170 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6171 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6172 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6174 [The OpenSSL Project]
6177 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6179 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6182 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6185 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6186 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6189 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6190 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6194 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6196 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6198 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6201 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6204 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6207 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6210 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6213 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6216 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6219 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6222 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6225 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6228 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6231 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6234 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6237 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6240 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6243 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6246 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6249 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
6250 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
6251 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6254 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
6255 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
6258 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
6261 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
6264 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
6265 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
6268 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
6271 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
6274 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
6275 bytes sent in the client random.
