5 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [XX xxx XXXX]
7 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
11 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
14 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
15 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
16 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
19 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
20 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
21 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
22 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
23 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
24 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
25 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
26 environment variables.
28 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
29 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
30 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
33 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
34 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
35 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
36 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
37 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
38 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
41 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
45 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
47 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
48 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
50 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
51 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
52 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
53 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
57 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
58 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
59 amount of data available.
60 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
61 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
63 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
64 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
65 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
66 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
69 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
70 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
74 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
75 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
76 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
77 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
80 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
83 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
86 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
87 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
89 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
91 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
92 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
93 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
94 (but broken) behaviour.
97 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
99 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
101 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
102 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
105 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
109 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
110 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
112 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
115 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
116 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
117 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
119 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
120 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
121 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
124 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
125 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
128 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
129 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
131 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
133 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
135 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
136 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
137 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
138 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
141 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
144 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
145 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
146 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
148 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
151 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
153 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
154 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
155 but the code is actually correct.
158 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
159 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
160 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
161 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
162 and leaves the highest bit random.
163 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
165 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
166 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
167 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
168 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
169 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
170 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
171 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
174 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
177 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
178 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
181 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
182 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
183 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
184 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
188 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
189 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
190 and break the signature.
192 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
194 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
198 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
199 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
200 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
201 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
202 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
205 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
206 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
208 *) ./config script fixes.
209 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
211 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
214 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
215 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
216 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
217 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
218 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
220 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
221 call failed, free the DSA structure.
224 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
225 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
228 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
229 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
230 when writing a 32767 byte record.
231 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
233 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
234 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
236 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
237 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
238 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
239 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
240 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
242 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
245 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
248 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
251 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
254 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
255 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
258 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
259 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
260 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
261 result of the server certificate verification.)
264 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
265 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
266 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
270 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
271 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
272 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
273 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
274 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
275 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
276 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
277 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
280 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
281 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
282 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
283 happening the other way round.
286 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
287 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
290 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
291 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
292 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
293 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
296 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
297 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
299 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
301 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
302 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
303 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
306 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
308 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
310 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
314 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
316 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
317 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
318 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
319 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
320 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
322 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
323 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
327 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
330 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
332 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
333 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
334 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
335 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
336 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
337 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
338 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
339 by the Finished messages.
342 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
343 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
345 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
346 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
347 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
348 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
349 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
353 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
354 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
355 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
356 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
357 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
358 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
359 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
360 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
361 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
365 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
366 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
367 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
368 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
370 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
371 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
372 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
373 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
374 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
377 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
378 been tested well enough.
381 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
382 it can return incorrect results.
383 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
384 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
387 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
388 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
389 include zero length content when signing messages.
392 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
393 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
396 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
399 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
403 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
404 packages. The default package contains applications, application
405 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
406 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
407 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
408 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
411 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
412 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
414 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
415 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
417 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
418 random number < q in the DSA library.
421 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
422 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
423 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
424 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
425 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
426 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
427 just makes things more complicated.)
430 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
434 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
435 work better on such systems.
436 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
438 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
439 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
440 keyid to the certificates aux info.
443 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
444 if there was more than one signature.
445 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
447 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
448 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
449 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
450 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
453 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
454 rather than always using the current time.
457 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
458 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
459 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
460 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
461 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
462 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
464 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
465 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
467 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
469 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
470 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
471 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
474 As a result various functions (which were all internal
475 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
476 structure. This will break anything that messed round
477 with X509_STORE internally.
479 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
480 exact match, rather than just subject name.
482 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
483 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
484 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
485 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
486 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
487 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
488 entirely (maybe later...).
490 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
492 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
493 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
494 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
495 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
496 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
497 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
498 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
499 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
501 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
502 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
504 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
505 to customise the verify behaviour.
508 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
509 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
512 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
513 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
514 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
515 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
516 request is improperly encoded.
519 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
520 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
523 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
524 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
526 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
527 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
531 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
532 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
533 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
536 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
537 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
538 BIO/fp routines also added.
541 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
542 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
544 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
545 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
549 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
550 generation and verification.
553 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
554 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
555 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
556 encode and decode it manually.
559 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
561 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
563 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
564 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
565 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
566 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
568 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
569 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
570 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
571 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
572 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
575 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
578 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
579 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
580 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
582 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
583 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
584 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
585 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
586 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
587 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
588 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
589 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
591 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
592 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
594 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
596 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
597 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
598 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
602 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
603 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
604 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
605 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
609 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
611 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
614 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
615 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
616 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
617 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
618 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
619 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
620 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
621 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
622 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
623 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
624 short or long names are found.
627 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
628 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
630 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
631 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
632 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
633 version rollback attacks was not effective.
635 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
636 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
637 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
638 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
641 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
642 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
643 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
646 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
647 these print out strings and name structures based on various
648 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
649 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
650 to allow the various flags to be set.
653 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
654 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
655 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
656 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
660 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
661 negative public key encodings) on by default,
662 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
665 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
666 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
667 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
670 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
671 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
674 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
675 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
676 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
677 are always statically linked for now, but there are
678 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
679 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
682 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
683 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
687 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
691 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
692 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
693 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
694 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
695 form signing output easier to verify.
698 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
701 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
702 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
703 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
704 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
705 are needed because all other string types have virtually
706 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
707 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
708 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
709 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
710 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
713 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
715 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
716 the syntax given in objects.README.
717 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
719 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
722 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
723 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
724 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
725 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
726 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
727 consistent name changes.
730 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
733 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
734 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
735 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
736 environment variable, or the default random state file.
739 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
740 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
741 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
745 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
746 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
747 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
748 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
751 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
752 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
753 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
754 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
755 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
756 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
757 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
758 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
759 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
760 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
764 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
765 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
766 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
767 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
768 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
769 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
770 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
771 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
772 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
773 algorithm to openssl-dev.
776 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
777 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
778 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
779 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
781 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
782 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
783 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
784 omit any duplicate addresses.
787 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
788 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
791 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
792 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
793 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
794 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
795 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
798 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
800 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
801 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
802 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
806 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
807 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
811 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
813 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
814 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
815 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
816 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
817 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
821 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
822 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
823 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
824 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
825 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
826 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
827 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
830 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
831 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
832 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
833 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
834 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
835 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
836 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
837 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
838 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
839 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
840 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
843 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
844 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
845 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
846 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
847 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
849 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
850 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
851 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
852 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
853 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
855 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
858 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
859 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
860 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
861 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
863 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
865 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
868 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
869 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
870 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
873 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
874 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
875 any installed hardware versions can.
878 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
879 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
880 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
884 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
885 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
886 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
887 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
888 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
890 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
891 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
894 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
895 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
898 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
899 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
900 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
904 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
907 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
908 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
909 but no ssl client purpose.
910 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
912 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
913 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
914 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
915 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
916 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
917 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
918 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
919 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
920 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
921 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
922 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
925 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
926 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
927 be obtained from the error queue.
930 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
931 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
932 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
933 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
936 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
939 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
940 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
941 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
942 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
943 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
946 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
947 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
948 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
949 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
950 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
953 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
954 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
955 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
957 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
959 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
960 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
961 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
962 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
963 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
964 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
965 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
966 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
967 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
968 or "the configuration storage API"...
970 The new configuration file reading functions are:
972 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
973 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
975 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
977 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
979 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
980 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
981 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
982 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
983 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
984 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
985 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
987 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
988 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
991 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
992 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
993 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
994 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
997 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
998 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
999 them in a portable way.
1000 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
1002 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
1004 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
1006 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
1007 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
1009 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
1010 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
1011 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
1014 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
1015 was larger than the MD block size.
1016 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
1018 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
1019 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
1020 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
1021 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
1025 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
1026 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
1027 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
1029 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
1031 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
1033 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
1034 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
1035 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
1036 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
1037 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
1038 Additional arguments are always ignored.
1040 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
1041 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
1043 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
1044 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
1047 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
1050 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
1051 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
1053 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
1054 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
1055 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
1056 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
1059 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
1060 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
1061 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
1062 does not suppress any output.
1065 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
1066 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
1067 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
1068 with all the associated security issues.
1070 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
1071 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
1072 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
1073 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
1074 use the value in the default purpose.
1077 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
1078 and fix a memory leak.
1081 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
1082 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
1083 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
1084 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
1087 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
1088 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
1089 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
1090 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
1093 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
1094 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
1095 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
1098 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
1099 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
1102 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
1103 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
1107 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
1108 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
1111 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
1112 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
1113 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
1116 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
1117 number generation fails.
1120 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
1123 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
1124 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
1126 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
1129 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
1130 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
1132 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
1133 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
1135 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
1137 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
1138 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
1141 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
1142 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
1144 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
1145 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
1148 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
1149 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
1150 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
1151 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
1152 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
1153 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
1155 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
1156 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
1157 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
1161 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
1162 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
1163 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
1164 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
1165 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
1166 counter, some don't.)
1167 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
1168 counters or duplicate objects.
1171 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
1172 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
1175 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
1176 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
1177 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
1179 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
1180 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
1181 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
1185 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
1186 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
1189 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
1190 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
1191 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
1195 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
1196 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
1197 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
1200 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
1201 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
1202 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
1203 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
1204 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
1205 should work without changes.
1208 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
1209 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
1210 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
1211 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
1212 must be defined. E.g.,
1213 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
1214 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
1215 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
1216 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
1218 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
1222 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
1223 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
1224 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
1227 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
1228 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
1229 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
1230 request header lines. Some software needs this.
1233 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
1234 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
1235 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
1236 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
1237 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
1238 is prompted for as usual.
1241 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
1242 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
1243 autodetect the card and use it if present.
1244 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
1246 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
1247 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
1248 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
1249 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
1252 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
1255 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
1259 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
1262 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
1265 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
1269 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
1272 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
1275 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
1276 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
1279 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
1280 options to produce them.
1283 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
1284 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
1287 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
1291 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
1292 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
1293 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
1294 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
1295 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
1296 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
1297 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
1300 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
1303 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
1304 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
1305 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
1308 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
1309 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
1311 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
1312 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
1315 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
1316 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
1317 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
1321 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
1322 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
1324 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
1325 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
1326 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
1327 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
1328 generation becomes much faster.
1330 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
1331 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
1332 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
1333 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
1334 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
1335 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
1336 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
1337 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
1338 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
1339 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
1342 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
1343 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
1344 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
1345 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
1346 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
1347 trial division stage.
1350 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
1354 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
1357 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
1360 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
1361 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
1362 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
1366 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
1367 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
1368 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
1371 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
1372 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
1373 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
1374 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
1376 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
1377 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
1380 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
1383 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
1384 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
1385 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
1386 Rabin-Miller iterations.
1389 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
1390 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
1391 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
1394 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
1395 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
1396 (instead of parameters) in future.
1399 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
1400 when a new cipher list is set.
1403 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
1404 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
1407 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
1408 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
1409 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
1411 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
1412 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
1413 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
1414 an error is flagged.
1416 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
1417 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
1418 the readability was also increased :-)
1419 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1421 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
1422 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
1423 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
1424 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
1428 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
1429 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
1432 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
1433 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
1434 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
1435 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
1438 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
1439 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
1440 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
1441 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
1442 because they handle more complex structures.)
1445 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
1446 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
1447 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
1448 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
1450 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
1451 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
1452 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
1453 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
1454 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
1455 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
1456 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
1459 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
1460 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
1461 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
1462 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
1463 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
1466 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
1469 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
1470 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
1471 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
1472 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
1473 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
1476 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
1480 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
1481 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
1482 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
1483 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
1486 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
1489 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
1490 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
1491 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
1492 international characters are used.
1494 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
1495 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
1496 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
1500 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
1501 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
1502 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
1505 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
1506 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
1507 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
1508 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
1509 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
1510 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
1512 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
1513 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
1514 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
1515 be handled by the string table functions.
1517 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
1518 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
1519 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
1520 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
1521 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
1525 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
1526 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
1527 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
1528 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
1529 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
1531 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
1532 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
1533 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
1534 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
1537 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
1538 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
1539 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
1540 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
1541 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
1545 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
1546 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
1547 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
1548 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
1549 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
1550 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
1551 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
1552 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
1554 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
1555 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
1556 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
1559 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
1560 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
1561 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
1562 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
1563 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
1564 support to pkcs8 application.
1567 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
1568 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
1569 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
1570 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
1571 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
1572 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
1575 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
1576 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
1577 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
1578 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
1579 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
1583 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
1584 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
1585 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
1586 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
1590 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
1591 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
1592 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
1593 and any application specific purposes.
1595 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
1596 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
1597 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
1598 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
1599 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
1600 if the certificate is self signed.
1603 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
1604 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
1607 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
1608 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
1609 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
1610 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
1613 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
1614 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
1615 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
1616 Update documentation.
1619 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
1620 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
1621 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
1622 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
1623 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
1626 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
1628 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
1630 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
1631 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
1632 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
1633 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
1634 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
1635 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
1636 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
1637 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
1638 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
1639 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
1641 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
1643 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1644 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1645 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
1646 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
1647 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
1649 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
1650 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
1651 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
1652 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
1653 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
1654 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
1655 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
1656 request additional information:
1657 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
1658 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
1660 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
1661 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
1662 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
1665 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
1666 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
1669 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
1672 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
1673 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1675 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
1676 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
1677 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
1681 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
1682 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
1683 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
1685 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
1686 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
1687 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
1688 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
1689 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
1690 included in OpenSSL.
1693 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
1694 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
1695 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
1696 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
1697 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
1698 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
1701 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
1705 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
1706 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
1707 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
1708 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
1709 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
1713 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
1717 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
1718 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
1719 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
1720 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
1721 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
1722 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
1723 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
1724 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
1725 be maintained manually.
1727 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
1728 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
1729 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
1730 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
1731 work because people forget to call this function]
1732 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
1733 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
1734 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
1737 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
1738 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
1739 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
1740 should be discouraged from doing it.
1743 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
1744 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
1745 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
1746 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
1747 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
1748 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
1751 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
1752 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
1753 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
1755 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
1756 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
1757 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
1759 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
1760 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
1761 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
1762 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
1763 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
1764 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
1766 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
1767 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
1768 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
1770 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
1771 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
1774 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
1775 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
1776 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
1777 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
1780 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
1783 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
1784 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
1785 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
1786 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
1787 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
1788 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
1789 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
1790 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
1791 keys so we should be OK.
1793 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
1794 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
1795 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
1796 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
1797 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
1798 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
1799 stay in the name of compatibility.
1801 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
1802 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
1803 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
1805 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
1806 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
1807 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
1808 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
1809 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
1810 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
1814 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
1815 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
1816 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
1817 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
1818 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
1819 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
1820 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
1821 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
1822 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
1823 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
1824 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
1825 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
1826 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
1829 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
1832 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
1833 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
1834 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
1835 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
1836 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
1837 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
1838 single self signed certificate. This means that:
1839 openssl verify ss.pem
1840 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
1841 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
1845 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
1846 (and add it to external session representation).
1847 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
1848 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
1849 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
1850 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
1851 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
1852 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
1854 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
1856 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
1857 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
1858 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
1859 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
1861 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
1862 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
1863 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
1866 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
1867 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
1868 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
1872 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
1873 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
1874 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
1876 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
1877 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
1878 certificate auxiliary information.
1881 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
1885 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
1886 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
1887 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
1888 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
1889 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
1890 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
1891 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
1894 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
1895 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
1898 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
1899 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
1900 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
1901 manpages and fix a few bugs.
1904 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
1907 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
1908 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
1911 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
1912 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
1913 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
1914 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
1915 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
1916 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
1917 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
1918 using the new 'x509' options.
1920 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
1921 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
1922 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
1923 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
1927 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
1928 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
1929 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
1930 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
1931 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
1934 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
1935 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
1936 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
1937 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
1938 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
1939 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
1940 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
1941 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
1942 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
1943 the key length and effective key length are equal.
1946 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
1947 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
1948 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
1949 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
1950 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
1951 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
1952 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
1955 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
1956 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
1957 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
1958 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
1959 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
1960 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
1961 openssl.cnf for more info.
1964 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
1965 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
1966 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
1967 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
1968 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
1969 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
1970 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
1971 md should be large enough anyway.
1974 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
1975 for handling the random seed file.
1977 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
1979 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
1982 x509 (when signing).
1983 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
1984 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
1985 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
1987 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
1988 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
1989 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
1990 that support '-rand'.
1993 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
1994 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
1997 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
1998 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
2001 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
2002 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
2003 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
2004 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
2008 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
2009 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
2010 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
2011 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
2014 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
2015 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
2016 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
2017 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
2018 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
2019 print out all the purposes.
2022 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
2026 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
2027 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
2028 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
2029 single function call.
2032 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
2033 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
2036 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
2037 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
2038 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
2041 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
2042 when producing the local key id.
2043 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2045 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
2046 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
2047 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
2051 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
2052 a public key to be input or output. For example:
2053 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
2054 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
2057 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
2058 in the message. This was handled by allowing
2059 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
2060 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
2062 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
2063 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
2064 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
2065 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2067 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
2068 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
2069 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
2070 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
2071 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
2072 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
2073 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
2074 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
2075 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
2076 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
2077 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
2078 trivial: move one line.
2079 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
2081 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
2082 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
2083 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
2084 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
2085 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
2086 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
2087 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
2088 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
2089 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
2090 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
2091 with an event loop for example.
2094 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
2095 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
2096 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
2097 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
2098 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
2099 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
2100 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
2101 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
2102 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
2105 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
2106 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
2107 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
2108 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
2109 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
2110 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
2113 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
2114 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
2115 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
2116 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
2118 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
2119 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
2120 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
2121 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
2125 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
2126 (still largely untested)
2129 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
2130 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
2133 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
2134 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
2137 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
2138 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
2139 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
2142 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
2143 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
2144 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
2145 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
2146 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
2149 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
2152 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
2153 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
2154 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
2155 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
2156 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
2160 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
2161 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
2164 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
2167 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
2168 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
2169 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
2170 are otherwise ignored at present.
2173 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
2174 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
2175 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
2176 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
2177 copied until the next read.
2180 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
2181 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
2182 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
2185 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
2186 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
2187 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
2188 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
2189 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
2190 associated functions.
2193 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
2194 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
2195 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
2196 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
2197 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
2198 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
2199 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
2200 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
2201 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
2205 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
2206 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
2207 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
2208 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
2211 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
2212 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
2213 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
2214 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
2215 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
2219 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
2220 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
2224 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
2225 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
2226 extensions to be obtained and added.
2229 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
2230 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
2233 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
2235 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2236 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2238 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
2239 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
2241 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
2245 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
2246 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
2247 DH parameters contain its length).
2249 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
2250 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
2251 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
2252 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
2253 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
2254 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
2255 utter importance to use
2256 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2258 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2259 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
2260 attacks may become possible!
2263 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
2266 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
2267 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
2270 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
2271 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
2272 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
2276 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
2277 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
2278 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
2279 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
2280 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
2281 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
2282 private key operations.
2285 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
2288 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
2289 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
2291 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
2292 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
2293 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
2294 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
2295 the password callback is called.
2296 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
2298 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
2300 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
2301 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
2302 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
2303 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
2304 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
2305 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
2308 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
2309 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
2310 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
2311 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
2312 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
2313 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
2316 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
2319 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
2320 delete an unused file.
2323 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
2324 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
2325 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
2326 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
2329 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
2330 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
2331 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
2335 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
2336 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
2337 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2339 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
2340 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
2341 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
2342 comparison" warnings.
2343 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
2346 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
2347 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
2348 derived keys are printed to stderr.
2351 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
2352 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
2354 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
2355 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
2357 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
2358 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
2359 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
2361 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
2362 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
2363 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
2364 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
2365 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
2367 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
2369 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
2370 The interface is as follows:
2371 Applications can use
2372 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
2373 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
2374 "off" is now the default.
2375 The library internally uses
2376 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
2377 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
2378 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
2380 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
2381 even the default) are now avoided.
2383 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
2384 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
2385 than just having a counter.
2387 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
2389 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
2393 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
2394 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
2395 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
2396 Initial "mode" flags are:
2398 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
2399 a single record has been written.
2400 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
2401 retries use the same buffer location.
2402 (But all of the contents must be
2406 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
2409 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
2410 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
2412 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
2413 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
2414 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
2417 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
2418 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
2420 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
2422 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
2423 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
2424 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
2425 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
2427 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
2428 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
2430 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
2431 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
2432 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
2433 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
2434 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
2435 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
2438 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
2439 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
2440 necessary function names.
2443 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
2444 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
2445 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
2446 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
2449 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
2450 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
2451 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
2454 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
2455 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
2456 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
2457 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
2459 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
2463 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
2464 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
2465 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
2468 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
2469 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
2473 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
2474 for the encoded length.
2475 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
2477 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
2480 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
2481 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
2482 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
2483 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
2486 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
2487 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
2488 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2490 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
2491 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
2492 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
2496 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
2497 to use the new extension code.
2500 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
2501 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
2502 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
2506 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
2507 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
2508 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
2512 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
2515 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
2516 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
2517 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
2520 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
2521 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
2522 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
2523 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
2526 *) DES library cleanups.
2529 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
2530 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
2531 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
2532 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
2533 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
2537 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
2538 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
2541 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
2542 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
2543 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
2544 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
2545 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
2546 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
2547 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
2548 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
2549 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
2552 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
2553 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
2554 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
2555 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
2556 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
2557 value doesn't matter.
2560 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
2564 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
2565 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
2566 "linux-sparc" configuration.
2567 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
2569 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
2572 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
2573 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
2574 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2576 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
2577 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2579 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
2582 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
2585 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
2588 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
2592 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
2594 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
2596 *) Updated some demos.
2597 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
2599 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
2602 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
2605 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
2608 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
2609 instead of using a fixed path.
2612 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
2615 *) Improvements for VMS support.
2619 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
2621 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
2622 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
2623 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2625 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
2626 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
2627 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
2628 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
2629 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
2630 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
2631 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
2632 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
2633 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
2634 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
2637 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
2638 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
2641 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
2642 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
2643 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
2644 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
2645 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
2647 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
2650 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
2651 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
2652 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
2655 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
2658 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
2659 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
2660 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
2661 key elements as negative integers.
2664 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
2665 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2668 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
2670 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
2671 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
2672 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
2675 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
2676 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
2677 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
2678 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
2679 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
2682 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
2685 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
2686 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
2687 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
2688 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2690 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
2691 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
2692 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
2694 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
2695 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
2696 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
2697 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
2698 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
2699 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
2700 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
2701 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
2702 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
2704 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
2705 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
2706 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
2707 does not influence s as it used to.
2709 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
2710 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
2711 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
2712 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
2713 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
2714 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
2717 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
2718 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
2719 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
2723 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
2724 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
2725 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
2729 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
2730 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
2731 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
2735 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
2736 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
2739 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
2740 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2745 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
2746 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2748 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
2749 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2751 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
2754 *) Update HPUX configuration.
2757 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
2758 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2760 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
2761 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
2762 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
2766 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
2767 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
2768 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
2769 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
2770 now it really counts the depth.
2773 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
2774 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
2775 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
2776 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
2777 didn't match the private key).
2779 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
2780 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
2781 connection using the SSL_CTX).
2784 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
2787 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
2791 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
2792 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
2793 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
2796 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
2799 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
2800 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
2801 such as /usr/local/bin.
2804 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
2805 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2807 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
2810 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
2811 extension adding in x509 utility.
2814 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
2817 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
2821 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
2824 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
2825 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
2826 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
2827 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
2828 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
2829 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
2830 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
2831 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
2832 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
2833 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
2836 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
2839 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
2840 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
2843 *) Fix some race conditions.
2846 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
2847 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
2850 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
2853 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
2854 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
2855 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
2856 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
2858 *) Fix lots of warnings.
2859 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2861 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
2862 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
2863 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2865 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
2866 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2868 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
2871 *) Fix typos in error codes.
2872 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
2874 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
2877 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
2878 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2880 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
2881 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
2884 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
2885 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
2888 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
2889 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
2892 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
2893 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
2896 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
2897 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
2900 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
2901 support typesafe stack.
2904 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
2905 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
2907 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
2908 old X509V3 handling code.
2911 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
2914 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
2917 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
2920 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
2921 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
2923 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
2924 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
2925 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
2926 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
2927 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
2930 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
2931 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
2932 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
2933 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
2934 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
2936 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
2937 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
2938 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
2939 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2941 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
2942 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
2943 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
2944 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2946 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
2947 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
2948 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
2949 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
2950 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
2951 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
2954 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
2955 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
2958 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
2959 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
2962 *) Tweaks to Configure
2963 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2965 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
2969 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
2972 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
2973 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
2976 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
2977 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
2978 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
2981 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
2984 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
2985 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
2988 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
2989 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
2990 to library startup routines.
2993 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
2994 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
2995 codes along the way.
2998 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
2999 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
3000 objects to objects.h
3003 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
3004 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
3007 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
3008 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
3010 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
3011 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
3012 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
3014 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
3015 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3016 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3018 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
3019 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
3020 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
3023 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
3025 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
3026 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
3029 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
3030 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
3031 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
3032 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
3033 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
3035 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
3036 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
3037 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
3039 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3041 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
3043 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
3045 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
3046 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3048 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
3049 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
3050 if someone would make that last step automatic.
3051 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
3053 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
3056 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
3057 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
3058 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
3059 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
3062 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
3063 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
3064 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
3067 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
3068 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
3069 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
3070 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
3071 installed as `perl').
3072 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3074 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
3075 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3077 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
3078 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
3079 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
3080 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
3081 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
3084 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
3087 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
3088 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
3089 is horrible: I feel ill....
3092 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
3093 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
3094 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
3095 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
3098 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
3099 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3101 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
3102 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
3103 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
3104 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3106 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
3107 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
3108 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
3109 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
3110 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
3111 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
3113 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3115 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
3116 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3118 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
3119 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
3121 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
3124 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
3125 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
3129 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
3130 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
3131 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
3132 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
3133 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
3134 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
3135 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
3136 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
3137 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
3138 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
3139 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3141 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
3144 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
3145 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
3146 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
3147 for linking it into DSOs.
3148 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3150 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
3154 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
3155 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
3156 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
3157 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
3158 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
3159 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3161 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
3162 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
3163 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
3164 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
3165 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
3166 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
3167 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3169 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
3170 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
3171 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
3175 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
3176 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
3177 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
3178 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
3181 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
3182 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
3183 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
3184 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
3185 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
3189 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
3190 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
3191 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
3192 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
3193 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3195 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
3196 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
3197 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3199 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
3200 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3202 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
3203 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
3204 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
3205 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
3206 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
3209 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
3210 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
3211 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
3212 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
3213 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
3214 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
3215 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
3218 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
3220 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
3221 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
3224 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
3225 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
3227 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
3228 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
3231 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
3232 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
3233 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
3234 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
3235 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
3237 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
3238 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
3239 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
3240 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
3241 no way to reconfigure them.
3242 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
3243 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
3244 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
3245 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
3246 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
3247 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3249 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
3250 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
3251 recognized by the users.
3252 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3254 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
3255 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
3256 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
3257 already masked variable.
3258 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3260 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
3261 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3263 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
3264 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
3265 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
3266 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3268 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
3269 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
3270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3272 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
3273 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
3274 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
3275 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
3276 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
3277 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
3278 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
3279 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
3281 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3283 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
3284 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
3285 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3287 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
3288 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
3292 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
3293 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3295 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
3296 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
3297 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
3298 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
3301 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
3304 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
3305 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3307 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
3310 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
3311 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
3314 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
3315 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
3318 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
3319 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
3320 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
3321 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
3322 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
3323 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
3324 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
3327 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
3328 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3330 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
3331 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
3332 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
3333 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
3334 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3336 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
3337 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
3338 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
3341 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
3342 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
3346 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
3347 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
3348 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3350 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
3351 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
3352 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
3356 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
3357 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
3358 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
3359 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
3362 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
3363 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
3364 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
3365 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
3368 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
3369 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
3370 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
3371 so it wasn't spotted.
3372 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
3374 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
3375 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
3376 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
3377 vectors if you have them.
3380 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
3381 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
3384 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
3385 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
3386 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
3387 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
3389 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
3390 it will update them.
3393 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
3394 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
3395 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
3396 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
3397 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
3398 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
3399 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
3400 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3402 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
3403 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
3404 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
3405 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
3406 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
3407 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
3408 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
3409 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
3410 the crypto/md/ stuff).
3411 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3413 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
3414 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
3415 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
3416 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
3417 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
3420 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
3424 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
3425 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3427 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
3428 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3430 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
3431 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
3434 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
3435 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
3437 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
3438 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
3440 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
3443 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
3447 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
3448 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
3449 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
3450 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3452 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3455 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3458 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
3461 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
3462 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
3465 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
3466 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
3470 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
3471 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
3474 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
3475 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
3476 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
3479 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
3480 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
3481 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
3482 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
3483 properly to be processed.
3486 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
3487 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
3488 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
3491 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
3492 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
3494 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
3495 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
3496 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
3497 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
3498 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
3499 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
3500 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
3501 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
3502 or delete all the .err files.
3505 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
3506 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
3507 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
3508 to regenerate it if needed.
3509 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
3510 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
3512 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
3513 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3515 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
3516 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
3517 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
3518 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
3519 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
3522 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
3523 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3525 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
3526 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3528 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
3529 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
3530 error, but didn't set one).
3531 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3533 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
3536 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
3537 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
3540 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
3541 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
3543 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
3544 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
3545 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
3546 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
3547 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
3548 OID is not part of the table.
3551 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
3552 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
3555 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
3558 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
3559 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
3563 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
3564 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
3566 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
3568 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3570 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
3571 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3573 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
3574 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3576 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
3577 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3579 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
3580 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
3583 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
3584 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
3587 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
3588 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3590 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
3591 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3593 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
3594 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3596 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
3597 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3599 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
3600 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
3601 unused in the certificate verification process.
3602 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3604 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
3605 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
3608 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
3609 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
3610 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
3612 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
3613 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
3614 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
3615 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
3616 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
3618 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
3619 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
3622 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
3625 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
3628 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
3629 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
3631 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
3634 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
3637 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
3640 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
3641 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
3642 other error libraries.
3645 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
3648 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
3649 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
3653 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
3654 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
3655 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
3656 the new set of documenation files.
3657 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3659 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
3660 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
3661 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
3662 number of arguments.
3663 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
3665 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
3668 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
3669 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
3670 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3672 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
3675 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
3679 unixware-2.0-pentium
3683 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
3684 before they are needed.
3687 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
3691 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
3693 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
3694 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
3695 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3697 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
3700 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
3701 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
3702 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3704 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
3705 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
3706 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
3708 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
3709 when "ssleay" is still not found.
3710 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3712 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
3713 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
3715 *) Updated the README file.
3716 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3718 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
3719 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
3720 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3722 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
3723 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
3724 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3726 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
3727 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
3728 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
3729 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
3730 o removed obsolete TODO file
3731 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
3732 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3734 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
3735 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
3736 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

3739 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
3740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3742 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
3745 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
3746 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
3747 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
3749 [The OpenSSL Project]
3752 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
3754 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
3757 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
3760 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
3761 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
3764 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
3765 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
3769 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
3771 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
3773 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
3776 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
3779 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
3782 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
3785 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
3788 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
3791 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
3794 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
3797 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
3800 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
3803 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
3806 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
3809 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
3812 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
3815 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
3818 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
3821 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
3824 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
3825 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
3826 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3829 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
3830 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
3833 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
3836 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
3839 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
3840 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
3843 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
3846 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
3849 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
3850 bytes sent in the client random.
