5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
8 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
10 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
11 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
14 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
17 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
18 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
19 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
23 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
24 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
25 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
26 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
27 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
28 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
31 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
32 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
34 This work was sponsored by Google.
37 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
38 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
39 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
40 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
41 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
42 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
43 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
46 This work was sponsored by Google.
49 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
51 This work was sponsored by Google.
54 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
55 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
56 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
57 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
59 This work was sponsored by Google.
62 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
63 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
64 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
65 CRL functionality in future.
67 This work was sponsored by Google.
70 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
72 This work was sponsored by Google.
75 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
76 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
78 This work was sponsored by Google.
81 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
82 and URI types are currently supported.
84 This work was sponsored by Google.
87 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
88 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
89 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
90 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
91 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
92 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
93 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
94 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
96 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
97 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
98 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
100 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
101 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
102 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
103 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
105 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
106 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
107 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
108 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
109 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
110 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
111 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
112 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
114 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
116 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
117 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
118 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
120 This work was sponsored by Google.
123 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
126 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
127 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
128 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
131 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
132 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
135 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
136 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
139 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
140 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
141 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
142 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
143 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
144 content types and variants.
147 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
150 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
151 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
152 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
153 files from the associated perl scripts.
156 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
157 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
158 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
160 *) s390x assembler pack.
163 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
167 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
168 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
169 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
170 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
171 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
172 to use. For example, specify an option
174 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
176 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
177 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
178 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
179 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
180 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
181 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
183 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
184 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
185 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
186 return non-zero for success.
188 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
191 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
192 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
196 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
199 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
200 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
201 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
202 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
203 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
204 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
205 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
206 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
207 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
209 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
210 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
211 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
212 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
213 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
214 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
216 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
217 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
218 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
219 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
220 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
221 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
225 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
228 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
230 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
231 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
232 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
235 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
236 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
239 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
240 protection in servers so again support should be possible
241 with no application modification.
243 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
244 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
246 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
247 or server extensions to be examined.
249 This work was sponsored by Google.
252 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
253 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
254 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
256 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
257 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
259 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
261 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
262 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
263 to output in BER and PEM format.
266 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
267 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
268 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
269 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
270 -macopt options to dgst utility.
273 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
274 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
275 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
279 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
280 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
281 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
282 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
283 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
284 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
285 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
286 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
289 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
290 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
291 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
292 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
294 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
295 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
296 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
300 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
301 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
302 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
303 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
304 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
305 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
306 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
307 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
308 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
310 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
311 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
312 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
313 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
314 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
315 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
316 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
317 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
318 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
319 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
320 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
323 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
324 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
325 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
327 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
328 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
332 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
333 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
334 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
337 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
338 it yet and it is largely untested.
341 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
344 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
345 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
346 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
349 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
352 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
353 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
354 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
355 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
358 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
359 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
360 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
361 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
362 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
365 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
366 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
369 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
370 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
371 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
372 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
375 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
376 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
377 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
378 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
381 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
382 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
385 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
386 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
387 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
388 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
391 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
392 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
393 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
396 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
400 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
401 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
404 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
405 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
406 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
410 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
411 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
412 to free up any added signature OIDs.
415 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
416 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
417 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
418 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
421 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
422 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
423 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
424 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
425 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
426 the array representation useful in a more general context.
429 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
430 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
431 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
432 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
433 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
435 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
436 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
437 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
438 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
439 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
442 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
443 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
444 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
445 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
447 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
448 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
449 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
450 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
451 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
457 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
458 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
462 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
463 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
466 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
467 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
470 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
471 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
472 functional reference processing.
475 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
476 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
480 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
481 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
482 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
485 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
486 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
487 application to support multiple signers.
490 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
494 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
495 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
496 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
497 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
498 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
501 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
505 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
506 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
507 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
508 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
512 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
513 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
514 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
515 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
516 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
517 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
518 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
519 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
522 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
523 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
524 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
525 between digests and public key types.
528 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
529 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
530 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
531 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
534 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
535 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
539 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
542 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
546 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
547 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
548 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
549 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
554 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
556 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
558 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
560 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
561 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
562 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
563 functionality for RSA.
566 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
567 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
568 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
571 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
572 key API, doesn't do much yet.
575 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
576 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
577 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
580 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
581 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
584 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
585 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
588 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
589 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
593 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
594 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
595 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
599 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
600 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
601 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
602 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
603 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
604 of public and private key structures.
607 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
608 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
611 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
612 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
613 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
616 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
620 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
621 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
623 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
625 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
627 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
628 and response verification functionality.
629 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
631 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
632 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
633 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
634 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
635 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
636 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
637 server_name extension.
639 New functions (subject to change):
642 SSL_get_servername_type()
645 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
647 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
648 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
649 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
650 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
651 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
653 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
655 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
656 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
657 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
658 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
659 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
660 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
663 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
665 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
668 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
669 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
670 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
671 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
672 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
675 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
676 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
680 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
681 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
682 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
683 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
686 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
687 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
688 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
689 using the maximum available value.
692 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
693 in addition to the text details.
696 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
697 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
698 handle several customised structures at all.
701 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
702 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
703 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
706 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
709 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
710 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
711 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
714 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
715 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
716 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
719 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
720 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
724 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
727 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
730 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [xx XXX xxxx]
732 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
733 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
734 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
735 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
737 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
738 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
740 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
741 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
744 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
745 s_client and s_server.
748 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
749 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
751 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
752 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
754 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
755 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
756 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
757 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
758 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
761 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
763 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
764 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
767 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
768 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
769 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
770 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
772 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
773 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
775 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
777 *) Various precautionary measures:
779 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
781 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
782 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
783 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
785 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
786 outside the expected range.
788 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
791 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
793 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
794 the load fails. Useful for distros.
795 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
797 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
800 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
803 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
805 This work was sponsored by Logica.
808 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
809 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
810 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
812 This work was sponsored by Logica.
815 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
816 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
817 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
821 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
823 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
824 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
825 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
826 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
828 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
829 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
832 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
834 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
835 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
836 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
838 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
840 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
841 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
842 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
843 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
846 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
847 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
848 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
849 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
850 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
851 invalid read after the end of 'db').
852 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
854 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
856 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
857 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
858 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
859 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
860 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
862 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
863 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
865 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
866 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
867 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
868 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
869 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
871 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
873 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
874 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
875 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
876 sets may exist with different names.
879 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
880 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
881 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
882 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
883 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
884 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
885 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
886 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
887 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
889 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
891 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
892 implemention in the following ways:
894 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
897 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
898 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
899 ignored for embedded content.
901 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
902 with the enable-cms configuration option.
905 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
906 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
907 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
908 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
910 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
911 uncompresses any data passed through it.
914 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
915 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
918 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
919 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
920 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
921 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
922 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
923 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
927 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
928 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
929 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
933 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
934 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
935 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
936 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
937 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
938 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
939 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
940 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
942 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
943 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
944 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
945 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
946 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
947 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
948 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
950 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
951 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
952 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
953 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
954 to s_client and s_server.
957 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
960 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
961 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
962 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
963 + Fix ia64 assembler code
964 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
966 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
968 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
969 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
970 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
971 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
972 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
973 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
974 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
975 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
978 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
979 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
980 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
983 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
984 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
985 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
988 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
989 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
992 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
993 protection in servers so again support should be possible
994 with no application modification.
996 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
997 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
999 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1000 or server extensions to be examined.
1002 This work was sponsored by Google.
1005 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1006 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1007 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1008 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1009 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1010 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1011 server_name extension.
1013 New functions (subject to change):
1015 SSL_get_servername()
1016 SSL_get_servername_type()
1019 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1021 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1022 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1023 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1024 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1025 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1027 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1029 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1030 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1031 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1032 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1033 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1034 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1037 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1039 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1042 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1045 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1046 (which previously caused an internal error).
1049 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1052 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1053 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1055 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1056 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1057 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1059 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1060 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1061 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1062 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1064 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1065 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1066 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1067 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1069 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1070 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1071 information. For detailed background information, see
1072 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1073 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1074 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1075 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1076 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1077 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1078 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1079 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1080 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1081 remove a conditional branch.
1083 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1084 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1085 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1086 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1087 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1088 remains as a deprecated alias.
1090 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1091 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1092 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1093 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1095 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1096 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1097 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1098 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1099 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1100 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1101 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1102 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1104 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1106 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1107 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1108 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1109 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1110 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1111 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1112 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1113 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1114 in a different context.
1117 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1118 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1119 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1122 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1123 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1124 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1126 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1128 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1129 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1130 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1131 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1132 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1135 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1136 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1137 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1138 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1139 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1140 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1143 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1144 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1145 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1146 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1147 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1150 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1151 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1153 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1154 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1155 Improve header file function name parsing.
1158 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1159 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1162 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1164 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1165 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1166 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1168 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1169 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1171 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1172 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1174 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1175 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1176 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1178 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1179 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1180 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1181 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1182 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1183 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1184 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1185 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1186 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1188 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1189 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1190 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1191 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1192 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1194 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1195 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1196 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1197 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1198 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1199 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1200 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1201 multiple values to extend the available space.
1205 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1207 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1208 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1210 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1213 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1214 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1215 undesirable limitations.
1216 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1218 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1219 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1220 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1221 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1222 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1223 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1224 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1227 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1229 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1230 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1231 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1233 The latter two were purportedly from
1234 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1237 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1238 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1239 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1242 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1243 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1246 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1247 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1248 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1249 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1251 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1252 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1253 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1256 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1257 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1258 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1259 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1260 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1261 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1264 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1266 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1267 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1270 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1271 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1273 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1274 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1275 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1276 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1279 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1280 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1283 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1284 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1285 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1286 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1287 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1288 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1289 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1293 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1294 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1295 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1296 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1299 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1300 under VC++ build system.
1303 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1304 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1307 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1309 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1310 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1311 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1312 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1313 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1315 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1316 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1317 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1319 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1322 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1323 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1326 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1327 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1329 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1332 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1333 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1335 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1336 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1339 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1340 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1344 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1346 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1349 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1352 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1353 key into the same file any more.
1356 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1359 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1360 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1362 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1363 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1366 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1367 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1368 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1369 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1370 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1371 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1373 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1374 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1375 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1378 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1379 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1380 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1381 - add new function for parameter creation
1382 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1383 BN_BLINDING parameters
1384 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1385 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1386 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1390 *) Add support for DTLS.
1391 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1393 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1394 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1397 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1398 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1401 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1402 the apps/openssl applications.
1405 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1406 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1407 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1410 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1411 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1413 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1414 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1416 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1417 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1418 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1419 avoid this algorithm.)
1423 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1424 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1425 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1428 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1429 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1432 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1433 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1434 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1437 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1439 The blank line is mandatory.
1443 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1444 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1448 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1449 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1451 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1452 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1453 to support policy checking and print out.
1456 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1457 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1458 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1459 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1461 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1464 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1465 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1467 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1468 implementation contributed by IBM.
1469 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1471 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1472 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1473 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1474 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1476 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1477 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1479 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1480 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1481 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1482 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1483 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1484 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1487 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1488 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1489 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1490 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1491 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1492 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1493 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1496 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1499 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1500 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1501 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1502 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1503 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1504 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1505 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1506 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1509 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1510 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1511 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1512 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1515 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1518 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1521 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1522 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1523 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1524 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1525 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1526 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1527 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1530 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1531 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1534 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1535 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1536 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1539 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1540 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1541 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1545 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1546 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1549 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1550 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1551 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1552 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1555 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1556 initialised value as BN_new().
1557 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1559 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1562 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1563 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1564 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1565 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1566 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1567 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1568 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1569 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1570 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1571 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1572 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1573 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1574 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1575 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1576 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1578 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1579 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1580 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1581 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1584 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1585 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1586 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1587 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1588 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1589 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1590 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1591 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1592 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1595 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1596 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1597 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1598 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1599 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1600 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1601 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1604 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1605 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1606 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1607 these have been updated also.
1610 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1611 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1612 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1613 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1614 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1618 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1619 structure of type "other".
1622 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1623 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1624 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1625 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1626 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1627 situation in the script.
1628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1630 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1631 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1632 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1633 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1634 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1635 used as premaster secret.
1636 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1638 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1639 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1640 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1642 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1643 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1645 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1646 control of the error stack.
1649 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1652 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1653 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1654 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1655 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1658 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1659 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1660 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1663 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1664 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1665 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1669 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1670 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1671 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1672 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1675 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1676 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1677 the following flags are defined:
1679 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1680 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1681 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1684 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1685 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1686 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1687 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1691 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1692 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1693 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1694 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1695 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1698 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1699 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1700 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1703 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1704 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1705 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1706 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1707 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1708 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1711 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1715 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1718 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1721 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1724 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1725 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1726 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1727 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1728 default implementation more easily.
1731 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1735 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1736 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1739 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1740 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1741 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1742 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1744 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1745 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1746 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1747 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1750 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1751 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1755 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1756 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1757 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1758 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1759 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1760 scalar * generator).
1761 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1763 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1764 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1765 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1769 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1770 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1771 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1772 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1773 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1774 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1775 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1776 linker additions, eg;
1777 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1780 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1781 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1782 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1785 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1786 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1787 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1791 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1792 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1793 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1794 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1797 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1798 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1799 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1800 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1801 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1802 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1803 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1804 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1805 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1806 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1808 Example for using the new callback interface:
1810 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1814 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1816 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1817 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1818 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1819 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1820 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1821 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1826 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1827 available to TLS with the number defined in
1828 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1831 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1832 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1834 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1835 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1836 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1837 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1839 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1840 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1842 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1843 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1847 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1848 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1851 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1852 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1853 and a macro that behave like
1854 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1856 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1859 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1860 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1861 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1863 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1865 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1868 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1869 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1870 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1871 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1873 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1874 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1875 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1876 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1877 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1878 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1879 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1880 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1882 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1883 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1886 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1887 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1889 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1890 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1891 files while avoiding the low level API.
1893 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1894 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1895 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1896 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1898 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1899 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1900 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1901 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1902 instead of the low level API.
1905 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1906 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1907 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1908 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1909 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1912 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1913 down to the template encoder.
1916 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1917 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1920 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1921 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1922 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1923 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1925 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1926 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1928 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1929 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1931 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1932 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1935 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1936 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1937 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1940 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1941 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1943 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1944 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1946 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1947 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1950 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1954 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1955 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1956 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m

1958 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1959 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1961 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1962 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1965 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1966 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1967 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1968 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1969 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1970 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1971 various internal method names.)
1973 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1974 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1976 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1977 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1979 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1980 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1982 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1983 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1984 methods are undefined.
1986 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1987 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1989 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1990 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1991 length of the modulus.
1993 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1994 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1996 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1997 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1999 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2000 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2002 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2003 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2004 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2007 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2008 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2009 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2010 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2012 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2013 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2014 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2015 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2017 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2018 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2020 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2021 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2022 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2023 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2024 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2026 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2027 This applies to the following functions:
2032 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2033 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2035 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2036 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2040 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2045 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2047 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2048 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2049 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2050 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2051 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2053 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2054 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2056 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2057 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2058 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2060 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2061 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2063 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2064 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2065 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2066 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2067 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2069 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2071 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2072 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2073 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2074 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2075 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2076 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2077 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2078 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2079 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2080 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2081 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2082 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2084 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2087 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2088 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2089 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2090 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2092 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2093 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2094 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2095 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2100 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2101 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2102 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2103 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2104 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2106 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2107 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2108 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2109 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2110 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2111 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2112 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2113 adding different types of curves.
2114 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2116 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2117 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2118 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2121 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2122 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2124 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2125 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2126 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2127 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2129 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2131 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2132 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2134 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2135 library. Most notably,
2136 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2137 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2138 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2139 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2140 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2141 extracted before the specific public key;
2142 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2143 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2145 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2146 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2148 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2149 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2150 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2151 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2153 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2154 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2155 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2157 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2158 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2159 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2160 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2161 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2162 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2166 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2168 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2169 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2170 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2171 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2172 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2173 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2174 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2175 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2176 in a different context.
2179 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2181 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2183 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2185 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2186 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2187 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2190 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2191 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2192 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2195 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2198 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2199 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2202 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2203 run algorithm test programs.
2206 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2209 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2210 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2211 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2212 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2213 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2216 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2217 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2220 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2222 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2223 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2224 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2226 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2227 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2229 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2230 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2232 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2233 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2234 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2236 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2237 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2238 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2239 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2240 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2241 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2242 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2245 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2247 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2248 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2250 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2251 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2252 undesirable limitations.
2253 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2255 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2257 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2258 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2259 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2261 The latter two were purportedly from
2262 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2265 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2266 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2267 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2270 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2271 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2274 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2276 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2277 module in FIPS mode.
2280 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2283 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2284 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2285 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2286 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2289 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2291 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2292 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2293 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2294 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2295 the difference induced by this change.
2298 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2300 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2301 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2302 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2303 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2304 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2306 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2307 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2308 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2310 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2311 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2314 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2315 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2316 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2317 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2321 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2322 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2323 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2324 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2325 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2327 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2328 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2329 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2330 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2331 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2332 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2334 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2336 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2337 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2338 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2339 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2340 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2343 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2347 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2348 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2349 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2352 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2353 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2354 structures constant.
2357 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2359 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2362 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2363 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2364 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2365 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2366 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2367 some needed definitions.
2370 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2373 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2374 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2375 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2376 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2379 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2381 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2382 server and client random values. Previously
2383 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2384 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2386 This change has negligible security impact because:
2388 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2391 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2394 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2395 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2398 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2401 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2403 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2406 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2407 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2408 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2410 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2413 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2414 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2417 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2418 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2419 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2421 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2424 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2425 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2426 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2430 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2431 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2432 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2433 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2435 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2436 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2437 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2438 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2442 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2444 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2445 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2446 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2447 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2448 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2451 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2454 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2455 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2457 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2458 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2459 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2460 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2461 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2462 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2463 rather than being initialized to 1.
2466 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2468 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2469 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2470 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2472 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2474 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2476 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2477 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2478 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2479 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2480 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2481 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2484 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2485 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2486 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2487 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2488 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2492 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2493 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2494 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2495 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2496 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2499 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2500 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2501 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2505 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2506 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2508 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2511 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2513 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2515 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2516 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2518 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2520 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2521 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2525 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2526 exiting on the first error in a request.
2529 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2530 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2534 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2535 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2536 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2537 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2539 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2540 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2543 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2544 blocks during encryption.
2547 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2548 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2549 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2550 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2554 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2555 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2556 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2557 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2558 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2562 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2564 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2565 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2566 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2567 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2570 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2571 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2572 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2573 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2574 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2576 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2577 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2578 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2579 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2580 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2581 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2582 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2583 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2584 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2587 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2588 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2589 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2590 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2593 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2594 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2597 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2599 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2600 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2601 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2602 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2603 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2605 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2606 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2607 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2609 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2610 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2611 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2612 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2613 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2615 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2616 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2617 used by default when no-err is given.
2620 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2621 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2623 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2624 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2625 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2626 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2627 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2629 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2630 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2631 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2632 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2634 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2636 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2638 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2640 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2641 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2642 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2643 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2647 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2648 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2650 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2651 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2654 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2655 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2656 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2657 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2660 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2661 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2662 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2663 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2664 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2665 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2666 followup to PR #377.
2669 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2670 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2673 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2674 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2675 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2680 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2683 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2684 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2685 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2686 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2688 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

2693 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2697 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2698 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2699 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2700 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2701 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2702 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2704 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2705 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2706 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2707 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2708 have to be made anyway).
2711 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2712 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2713 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2716 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2717 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2718 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2721 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2722 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2723 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2725 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2726 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2727 edit numbers of the version.
2728 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2730 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2731 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2732 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2734 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2735 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2737 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2738 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2739 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2741 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2744 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2745 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2747 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2748 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2750 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2751 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2753 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2755 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2757 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2758 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2759 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2761 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2762 representations in a platform independent manner.
2763 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2765 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2766 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2767 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2769 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2771 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2773 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2774 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2776 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2778 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2780 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2781 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2782 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2784 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2786 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2788 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2789 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2791 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2792 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2794 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2795 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2797 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2798 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2800 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2802 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2804 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2805 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2807 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

2810 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2811 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2813 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2815 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2816 the 0.9.6 release series:
2818 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2819 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2821 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2823 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2826 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2827 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2829 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2830 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2832 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2833 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2834 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2835 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2837 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2838 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2839 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2841 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2842 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2843 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2844 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2846 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2847 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2848 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2851 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2852 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2853 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2854 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2855 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2856 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2857 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2858 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2861 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2862 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2863 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2866 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2867 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2868 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2869 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2870 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2872 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2873 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2875 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2876 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2879 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2880 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2881 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2882 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2883 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2884 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2887 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2888 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2889 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2892 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2893 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2896 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2897 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2898 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2899 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2900 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2901 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2902 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2905 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2906 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2907 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2908 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2909 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2910 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2913 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2914 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2915 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2916 declaration has been changed from
2919 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2920 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2921 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2922 has been changed into
2923 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2925 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2926 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2927 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2929 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2930 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2932 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2933 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2934 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2935 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2936 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2937 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2938 always load it have also been added.
2941 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2942 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2943 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2945 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2947 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2948 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2949 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2951 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2952 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2953 command line option can be used to specify an
2957 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2958 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2961 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2962 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2963 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2966 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2967 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2968 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2969 to work with the new engine framework.
2970 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2972 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2973 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2974 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2975 to work with the new engine framework.
2978 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2979 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2980 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2982 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.

2987 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2988 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant

2992 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2993 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2995 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2996 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2998 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2999 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3000 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3003 *) Add new functions
3005 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3006 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3007 These are similar to
3010 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3011 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3012 still in the error queue.
3013 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3015 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3017 default_algorithms = ALL
3018 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3021 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3024 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3027 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3028 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3029 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3030 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3032 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3033 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3035 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3036 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3038 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3039 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3042 *) New functions/macros
3044 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3045 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3046 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3047 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3049 to request calling a callback function
3051 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3052 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3054 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3055 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3056 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3057 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3058 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3059 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3060 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3061 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3062 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3063 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3065 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3066 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3069 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3070 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3071 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3072 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3073 the configuration scripts.
3075 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3076 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3077 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3079 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3080 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3082 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3083 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3084 when reusing an existing buffer.
3087 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3088 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3091 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3092 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3095 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3096 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3097 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3098 has the same effect.
3099 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3101 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3102 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3103 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3104 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3105 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3106 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3109 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3110 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3111 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3112 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3114 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3115 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3116 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3117 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3119 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3120 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3123 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3124 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3125 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3126 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3127 default), and then completely removed.
3130 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3131 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3132 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3133 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3134 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3135 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3136 particular extension is supported.
3139 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3140 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3143 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3144 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3145 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3146 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3147 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3148 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3149 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3150 requires the destination to be valid.
3152 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3153 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3156 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3157 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3158 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3161 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3162 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3164 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3165 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3166 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3167 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3168 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3169 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3170 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3171 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3172 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3173 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3174 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3175 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3176 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3177 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3178 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3179 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3180 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3181 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3182 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3186 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3189 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3190 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3191 become part of libeay.num as well.
3194 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3195 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3196 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3197 false once a handshake has been completed.
3198 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3199 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3200 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3201 client has followed the request.)
3204 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3205 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3206 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3207 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3209 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3210 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3211 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3214 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3217 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3218 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3219 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3222 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3223 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3226 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3227 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3228 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3229 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3232 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3233 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3234 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3235 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3236 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3237 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3240 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3241 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3242 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3243 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3244 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3245 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3246 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3247 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3250 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3251 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3254 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3257 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3258 md_data void pointer.
3261 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3262 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3263 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3264 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3265 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3266 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3269 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3270 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3271 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3272 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3273 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3274 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3275 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3276 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3277 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3278 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3279 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3280 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3281 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3282 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3283 rather than letting it slide.
3285 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3286 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3287 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3290 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3291 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3292 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3293 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3294 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3295 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3296 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3297 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3298 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3301 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3302 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3303 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3304 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3305 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3307 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3310 *) Add EVP test program.
3313 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3316 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3317 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3318 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3319 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3320 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3323 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3324 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3325 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3326 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3327 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3328 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3329 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3331 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3332 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3333 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3338 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3339 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3340 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3341 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3342 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3346 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3347 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3348 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3349 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3352 des_key_schedule ks;
3354 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3355 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3357 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3360 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3361 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3362 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3363 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3364 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3365 functions prevents this.
3368 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3371 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3372 correct _ecb suffix.
3375 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3376 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3377 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3378 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3379 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3382 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3385 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3386 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3387 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3388 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3390 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3391 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3393 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3394 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3395 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3396 via Richard Levitte]
3398 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3399 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3400 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3401 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3404 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3407 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3408 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3422 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3423 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3425 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3426 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3427 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3428 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3429 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3430 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3433 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3434 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3437 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3438 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3439 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3440 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3442 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3443 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3444 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3445 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3446 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3447 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3451 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3452 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3453 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3454 and interrupts/cancellations.
3457 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3458 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3461 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3462 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3463 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3465 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3466 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3470 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3471 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3472 than this minimum value is recommended.
3475 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3476 that are easily reachable.
3479 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3480 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3482 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3484 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3485 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3486 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3487 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3490 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3491 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3492 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3495 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3496 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3497 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3498 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3499 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3500 internally such as S/MIME.
3502 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3503 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3504 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3506 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3510 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3511 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3512 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3513 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3515 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3517 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3519 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3520 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3521 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3525 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3526 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3527 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3528 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3529 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3530 a window system and the like.
3533 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3534 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3537 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3538 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3539 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3540 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3541 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3542 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3543 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3544 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3545 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3549 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3550 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3554 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3555 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3556 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3557 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3558 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3559 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3560 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3561 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3564 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3565 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3566 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3567 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3568 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3569 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3570 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3571 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3572 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3573 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3574 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3575 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3576 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3577 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3578 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3579 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3580 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3583 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3584 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3585 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3586 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3587 internal engine_int.h header.
3590 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3591 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3592 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3593 modify their own ones).
3596 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3597 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3598 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3599 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3600 later on via ctrl() commands.
3601 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3602 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3603 structural references.
3604 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3605 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3606 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3607 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3608 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3609 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3610 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3611 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3612 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3613 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3614 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3615 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3618 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3619 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3620 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3621 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3622 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3623 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3624 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3625 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3628 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3629 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3632 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3633 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3636 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3637 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3638 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3639 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3640 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3641 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3642 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3645 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3646 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3647 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3648 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3649 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3651 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3652 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3656 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3658 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3659 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3660 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3662 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3663 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3665 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3666 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3667 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3669 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3670 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3672 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3673 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3675 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3677 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3678 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3679 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3682 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3683 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3686 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3687 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3688 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3689 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3690 is 40 of more characters long.
3693 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3694 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3698 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3699 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3702 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3703 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3707 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3709 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3710 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3713 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3715 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3716 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3717 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3719 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3720 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3722 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3725 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3729 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3730 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3731 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3732 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3734 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3736 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3737 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3739 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3740 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3741 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3742 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3743 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3744 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3746 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3747 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3749 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3750 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3752 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3753 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3755 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3756 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3757 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3758 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3760 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3761 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3763 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3764 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3766 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3767 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3768 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3769 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3770 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3773 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3774 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3775 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3776 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3779 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3780 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3781 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3785 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3786 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3787 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3788 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3789 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3790 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3791 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3792 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3796 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3797 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3800 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3801 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3802 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3803 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3806 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3807 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3808 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3809 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3810 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3811 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3812 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3813 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3814 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3815 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3818 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3819 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3820 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3821 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3822 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3823 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3824 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3825 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3827 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3828 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3829 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3830 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3833 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3834 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3835 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3836 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3838 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3839 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3840 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3841 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3842 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3846 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3847 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3848 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3849 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3853 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3854 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3855 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3858 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3859 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3860 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3861 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3862 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3865 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3868 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3869 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3870 option to ocsp utility.
3873 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3874 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3875 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3876 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3877 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3878 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3879 the request is nonce-less.
3882 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3883 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3884 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3887 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3888 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3889 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3892 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3893 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3894 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3895 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3896 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3899 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3900 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3904 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3905 additional certificates supplied.
3908 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3909 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3913 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3914 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3917 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3918 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3919 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3920 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3921 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3922 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3923 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3924 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3925 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3927 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3928 request to response.
3931 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3932 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3933 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3934 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3935 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3936 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3937 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3938 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3939 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3940 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3941 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3944 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3945 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3946 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3947 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3950 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3951 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3953 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3954 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3955 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3958 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3959 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3960 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3961 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3962 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3964 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3965 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3966 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3969 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3970 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3971 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3972 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3973 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3974 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3975 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3976 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3978 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3979 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3980 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3981 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3982 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3983 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3986 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3987 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3988 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3989 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3990 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3991 printout format cleaned up.
3994 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3995 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3996 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3997 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3998 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3999 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4000 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4001 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4004 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4005 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4006 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4007 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4008 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4009 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4010 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4011 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4014 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4015 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4016 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4017 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4019 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4021 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4022 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4023 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4024 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4027 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4028 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4029 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4030 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4032 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4034 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4035 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4036 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4037 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4039 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4040 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4042 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4043 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4044 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4047 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4048 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4049 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4052 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4053 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4054 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4055 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4056 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4057 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4058 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4059 functions are provided:
4061 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4062 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4063 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4064 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4066 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4067 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4068 extended allocation function is enabled.
4069 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4070 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4071 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4073 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4074 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4075 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4076 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4077 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4080 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4081 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4082 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4084 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4085 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4086 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4089 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4090 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4091 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4092 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4093 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4094 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4095 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4096 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4097 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4100 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4101 provide utility functions which an application needing
4102 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4103 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4104 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4106 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4107 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4108 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4109 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4110 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4111 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4112 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4113 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4114 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4116 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4117 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4118 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4119 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4122 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4123 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4124 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4125 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4126 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4127 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4128 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4129 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4130 will be added elsewhere.
4133 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4134 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4135 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4136 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4139 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4140 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4141 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4142 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4143 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4144 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4145 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4146 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4147 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4148 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4149 to produce the required SET OF.
4152 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4153 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4154 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4157 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4158 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4159 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4160 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4161 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4162 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4165 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4166 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4167 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4170 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4171 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4172 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4175 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4176 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4177 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4178 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4179 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4182 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4183 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4186 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4187 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4188 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4189 certifcates and CRLs.
4192 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4193 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4194 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4197 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4198 entries for variables.
4201 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4202 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4203 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4204 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4207 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4208 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4209 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4210 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4211 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4212 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4215 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4216 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4218 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4219 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4220 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4223 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4227 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4228 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4229 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4230 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4231 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4232 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4235 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4238 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4239 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4240 for now but they will eventually go away.
4243 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4244 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4245 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4246 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4247 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4248 has also been converted to the new form.
4251 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4252 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4253 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4254 for negative moduli.
4257 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4258 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4261 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4265 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4266 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4267 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4268 type-specific callbacks.
4271 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4273 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4274 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4276 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4277 in sections depending on the subject.
4280 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4284 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4285 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4286 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4287 be handled deterministically).
4288 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4290 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4291 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4292 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4295 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4298 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4299 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4300 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4301 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4302 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4305 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4306 sign of the number in question.
4308 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4310 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4311 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4312 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4313 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4314 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4317 *) New function BN_swap.
4320 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4321 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4322 results on negative inputs.
4325 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4326 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4327 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4330 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4331 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4332 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4333 and add new functions:
4342 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4346 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4348 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4349 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4351 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4352 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4353 be reduced modulo m.
4354 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4357 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4358 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4359 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4361 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4362 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4363 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4364 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4365 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4366 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4371 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4372 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4373 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4374 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4375 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4377 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4378 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4379 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4383 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4386 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4387 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4390 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4391 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4392 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4393 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4397 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4400 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4403 *) Add the following functions:
4405 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4407 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4409 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4411 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4412 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4413 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4414 libraries unless it's really needed.
4416 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4417 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4418 declarations (they differed!).
4421 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4424 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4427 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4430 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4431 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4434 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4435 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4436 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4438 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4439 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4442 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4445 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4448 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4451 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4452 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4453 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4455 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4456 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4457 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4458 different shared library filenames on each system.
4461 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4464 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4465 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4466 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4468 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4471 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4472 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4473 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4474 binary backward compatibility.
4475 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4476 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4477 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4481 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4482 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4483 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4484 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4488 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4491 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4492 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4493 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4494 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4498 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4501 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4503 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4504 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4505 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4507 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4509 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4511 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4512 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4515 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4517 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4519 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4520 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4522 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4523 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4527 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4528 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4532 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4533 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4534 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4535 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4537 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4538 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4541 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4543 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4544 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4545 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4546 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4549 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4550 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4551 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4552 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4553 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4555 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4556 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4557 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4558 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4559 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4560 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4561 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4562 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4563 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4566 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4568 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4569 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4570 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4571 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4572 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4574 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4575 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4576 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4578 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4580 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4581 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4582 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4583 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4584 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4585 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4588 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4589 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4590 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4591 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4592 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4595 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4596 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4597 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4599 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4600 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4601 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4605 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4606 being properly terminated.
4609 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4610 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4611 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4612 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4614 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4615 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4616 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4617 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4618 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4619 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4620 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4622 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4624 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4625 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4628 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4629 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4630 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4631 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4632 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4633 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4634 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4635 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4637 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4638 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4639 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4640 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4641 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4643 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4644 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4647 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4649 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4650 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4651 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4653 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4655 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4656 and get fix the header length calculation.
4657 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4658 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4661 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4662 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4663 assertions could call abort()).
4664 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4666 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4668 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4669 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4670 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4672 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4674 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4675 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4676 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4679 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4683 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4684 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4685 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4687 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4688 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4689 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4690 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4691 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4695 *) Changes in security patch:
4697 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4698 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4699 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4702 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4703 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4704 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4705 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4706 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4708 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4710 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4712 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4713 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4714 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4716 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4717 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4718 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4720 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4721 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4722 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4724 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4726 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4727 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4728 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4730 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4731 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4733 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4734 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4735 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4736 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4737 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4738 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4741 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4742 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4743 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4744 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4747 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4750 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4751 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4752 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4753 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4754 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4755 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4757 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4758 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4759 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4760 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4761 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4764 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4765 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4766 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4767 BN_generate_prime().)
4769 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4770 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4771 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4775 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4776 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4779 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4780 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4781 when using non-blocking I/O.
4782 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4784 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4785 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4787 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4788 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4791 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4792 configuration for the versions before that.
4793 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4795 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4796 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4797 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4798 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4801 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4802 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4803 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4806 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4810 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4811 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4812 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4814 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4815 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4817 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4818 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4819 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4820 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4821 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4822 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4823 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4826 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4827 using a local variable.
4828 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4830 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4831 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4832 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4834 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4837 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4838 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4840 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4841 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4842 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4844 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4846 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4847 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4848 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4849 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4852 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4856 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4857 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4858 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4859 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4860 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4862 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4863 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4864 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4866 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4867 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4868 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4870 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4871 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4872 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4873 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4875 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4876 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4877 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4879 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4881 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4882 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4884 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4886 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4887 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4888 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4889 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4891 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4892 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4893 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4894 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4896 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4897 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4899 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4900 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4901 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4904 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4905 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4906 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4908 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4910 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4911 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4912 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4913 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4914 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4915 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4916 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4919 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4920 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4921 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4922 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4924 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4925 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4926 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4927 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4928 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4929 the client will at least see that alert.
4932 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4936 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4937 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4938 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4940 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4941 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4942 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4943 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4946 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4947 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4948 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4950 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4951 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4952 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4953 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4954 may leak via logfiles.)
4956 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4957 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4958 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4959 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4963 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4964 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4967 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4968 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4969 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4970 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4971 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4974 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4975 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4977 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4978 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4979 followed by modular reduction.
4980 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4982 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4983 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4986 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4987 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4988 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4989 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4992 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4995 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4996 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4999 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5000 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5001 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5002 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5003 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5004 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5006 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5008 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5009 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5010 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5011 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5012 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5014 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5017 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5018 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5019 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5020 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5021 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5022 to allow the necessary settings.
5025 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5026 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5027 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5028 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5031 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5032 dh->length and always used
5034 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5036 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5037 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5038 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5039 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5040 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5045 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5047 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5053 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5054 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5055 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5056 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5058 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5059 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5060 always reject numbers >= n.
5063 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5064 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5065 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5066 variable) is not atomic.
5069 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5070 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5071 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5072 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5074 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5075 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5077 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5079 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5081 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5084 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5086 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5087 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5088 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5089 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5090 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5091 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5092 to traverse all of 'state'.
5094 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5095 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5096 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5098 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5099 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5101 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5102 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5103 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5104 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5105 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5106 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5107 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5108 further strengthens the PRNG.
5111 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5114 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5115 an error message in this case.
5118 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5121 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5122 positive and less than q.
5125 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5126 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5128 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5130 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5131 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5135 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5137 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5138 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5139 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5140 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5141 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5142 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5143 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5146 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5147 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5148 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5149 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5151 Both problems are now fixed.
5154 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5155 (previously it was 1024).
5158 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5159 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5162 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5165 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5166 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5167 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5170 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5171 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5172 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5173 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5174 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5175 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5176 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5177 environment variables.
5179 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5180 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5181 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5184 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5185 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5186 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5187 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5188 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5189 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5192 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5196 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5198 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5199 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5201 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5202 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5203 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5204 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5208 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5209 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5210 amount of data available.
5211 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5212 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5214 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5215 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5216 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5217 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5220 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5221 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5225 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5226 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5227 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5228 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5231 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5234 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5237 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5238 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5240 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5242 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5243 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5244 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5245 (but broken) behaviour.
5248 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5250 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5252 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5253 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5256 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5260 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5261 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5263 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5266 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5267 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5268 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5270 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5271 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5272 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5275 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5276 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5279 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5280 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5282 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5284 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5286 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5287 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5288 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5289 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5292 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5295 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5296 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5297 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5299 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5302 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5304 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5305 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5306 but the code is actually correct.
5309 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5310 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5311 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5312 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5313 and leaves the highest bit random.
5314 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5316 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5317 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5318 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5319 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5320 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5321 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5322 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5325 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5328 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5329 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5332 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5333 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5334 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5335 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5339 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5340 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5341 and break the signature.
5343 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5345 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5349 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5350 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5351 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5352 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5353 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5356 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5357 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5359 *) ./config script fixes.
5360 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5362 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5365 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5366 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5367 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5368 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5369 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5371 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5372 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5375 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5376 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5379 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5380 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5381 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5382 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5384 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5385 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5387 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5388 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5389 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5390 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5391 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5393 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5396 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5399 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5402 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5405 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5406 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5409 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5410 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5411 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5412 result of the server certificate verification.)
5415 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5416 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5417 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5421 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5422 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5423 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5424 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5425 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5426 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5427 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5428 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5431 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5432 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5433 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5434 happening the other way round.
5437 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5438 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5441 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5442 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5443 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5444 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5447 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5448 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5450 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5452 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5453 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5454 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5457 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5459 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5461 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5465 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5467 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5468 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5469 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5470 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5471 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5473 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5474 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5478 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5481 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5483 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5484 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5485 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5486 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5487 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5488 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5489 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5490 by the Finished messages.
5493 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5494 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5496 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5497 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5498 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5499 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5500 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5504 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5505 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5506 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5507 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5508 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5509 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5510 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5511 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5512 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5516 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5517 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5518 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5519 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5521 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5522 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5523 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5524 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5525 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5528 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5529 been tested well enough.
5532 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5533 it can return incorrect results.
5534 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5535 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5538 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5539 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5540 include zero length content when signing messages.
5543 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5544 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5547 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5550 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5554 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5555 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5556 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5557 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5558 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5559 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5562 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5563 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5565 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5566 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5568 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5569 random number < q in the DSA library.
5572 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5573 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5574 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5575 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5576 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5577 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5578 just makes things more complicated.)
5581 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5585 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5586 work better on such systems.
5587 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5589 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5590 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5591 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5594 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5595 if there was more than one signature.
5596 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5598 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5599 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5600 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5601 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5604 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5605 rather than always using the current time.
5608 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5609 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5610 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5611 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5612 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5613 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5615 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5616 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5618 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5620 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5621 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5622 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5623 the same hash value.
5625 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5626 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5627 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5628 with X509_STORE internally.
5630 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5631 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5633 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5634 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5635 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5636 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5637 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5638 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5639 entirely (maybe later...).
5641 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5643 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5644 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5645 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5646 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5647 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5648 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5649 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5650 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5652 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5653 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5655 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5656 to customise the verify behaviour.
5659 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5660 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5663 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5664 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5665 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5666 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5667 request is improperly encoded.
5670 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5671 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5674 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5675 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5677 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5678 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5682 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5683 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5684 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5687 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5688 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5689 BIO/fp routines also added.
5692 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5693 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5695 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5696 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5697 demos/state_machine.
5700 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5701 generation and verification.
5704 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5705 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5706 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5707 encode and decode it manually.
5710 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5712 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5714 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5715 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5716 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5717 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5719 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5720 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5721 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5722 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5723 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5726 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5729 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5730 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5731 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5733 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5734 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5735 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5736 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5737 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5738 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5739 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5740 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5742 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5743 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5745 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5747 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5748 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5749 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5753 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5754 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5755 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5756 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5760 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5762 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5765 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5766 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5767 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5768 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5769 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5770 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5771 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5772 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5773 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5774 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5775 short or long names are found.
5778 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5779 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5781 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5782 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5783 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5784 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5786 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5787 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5788 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5789 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5792 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5793 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5794 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5797 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5798 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5799 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5800 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5801 to allow the various flags to be set.
5804 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5805 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5806 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5807 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5808 dates to be checked.
5811 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5812 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5813 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5816 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5817 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5818 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5821 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5822 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5825 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5826 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5827 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5828 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5829 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5830 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5833 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5834 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5838 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5842 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5843 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5844 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5845 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5846 form signing output easier to verify.
5849 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5852 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5853 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5854 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5855 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5856 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5857 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5858 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5859 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5860 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5861 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5864 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5866 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5867 the syntax given in objects.README.
5868 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5870 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5873 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5874 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5875 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5876 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5877 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5878 consistent name changes.
5881 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5884 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5885 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5886 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5887 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5890 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5891 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5892 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5896 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5897 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5898 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5899 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5902 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5903 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5904 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5905 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5906 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5907 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5908 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5909 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5910 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5911 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5912 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5915 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5916 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5917 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5918 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5919 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5920 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5921 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5922 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5923 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5924 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5927 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5928 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5929 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5930 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5932 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5933 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5934 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5935 omit any duplicate addresses.
5938 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5939 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5942 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5943 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5944 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5945 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5946 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5949 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5951 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5952 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5953 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5954 Free => OPENSSL_free
5957 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5958 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5961 *) CygWin32 support.
5962 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5964 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5965 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5966 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5967 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5968 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5972 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5973 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5974 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5975 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5976 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5977 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5978 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5981 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5982 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5983 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5984 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5985 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5986 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5987 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5988 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5989 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5990 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5991 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5994 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5995 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5996 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5997 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5998 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6000 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6001 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6002 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6003 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6004 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6006 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6009 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6010 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6011 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6012 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6014 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6016 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6019 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6020 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6021 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6024 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6025 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6026 any installed hardware versions can.
6029 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6030 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6031 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6035 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6036 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6037 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6038 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6039 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6041 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6042 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6045 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6046 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6049 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6050 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6051 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6055 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6058 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6059 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6060 but no ssl client purpose.
6061 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6063 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6064 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6065 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6066 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6067 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6068 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6069 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6070 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6071 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6072 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6073 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6076 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6077 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6078 be obtained from the error queue.
6081 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6082 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6083 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6084 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6087 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6090 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6091 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6092 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6093 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6094 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6097 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6098 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6099 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6100 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6101 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6104 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6105 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6106 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6108 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6110 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6111 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6112 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6113 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6114 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6115 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6116 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6117 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6118 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6119 or "the configuration storage API"...
6121 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6123 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6124 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6126 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6128 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6130 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6131 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6132 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6133 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6134 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6135 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6136 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6138 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6139 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6142 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6143 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6144 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6145 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6148 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6149 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6150 them in a portable way.
6151 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6153 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6155 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6157 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6158 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6160 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6161 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6162 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6165 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6166 was larger than the MD block size.
6167 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6169 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6170 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6171 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6172 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6176 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6177 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6178 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6180 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6182 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6184 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6185 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6186 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6187 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6188 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6189 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6191 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6192 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6194 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6195 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6198 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6201 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6202 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6204 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6205 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6206 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6207 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6210 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6211 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6212 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6213 does not suppress any output.
6216 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6217 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6218 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6219 with all the associated security issues.
6221 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6222 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6223 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6224 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6225 use the value in the default purpose.
6228 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6229 and fix a memory leak.
6232 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6233 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6234 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6235 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6238 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6239 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6240 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6241 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6244 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6245 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6246 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6249 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6250 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6253 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6254 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6258 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6259 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6262 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6263 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6264 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6267 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6268 number generation fails.
6271 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6274 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6275 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6277 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6280 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6281 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6283 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6284 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6286 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6288 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6289 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6292 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6293 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6295 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6296 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6299 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6300 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6301 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6302 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6303 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6304 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6306 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6307 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6308 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6312 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6313 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6314 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6315 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6316 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6317 counter, some don't.)
6318 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6319 counters or duplicate objects.
6322 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6323 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6326 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6327 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6328 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6330 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6331 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6332 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6336 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6337 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6340 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6341 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6342 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6346 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6347 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6348 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6351 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6352 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6353 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6354 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6355 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6356 should work without changes.
6359 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6360 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6361 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6362 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6363 must be defined. E.g.,
6364 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6365 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6366 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6367 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6369 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6373 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6374 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6375 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6378 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6379 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6380 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6381 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6384 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6385 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6386 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6387 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6388 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6389 is prompted for as usual.
6392 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6393 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6394 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6395 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6397 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6398 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6399 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6400 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6403 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6406 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6410 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6413 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6416 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6420 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6423 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6426 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6427 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6430 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6431 options to produce them.
6434 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6435 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6438 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6442 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6443 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6444 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6445 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6446 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6447 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6448 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6451 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6454 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6455 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6456 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6459 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6460 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6462 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6463 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6466 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6467 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6468 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6472 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6473 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6475 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6476 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6477 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6478 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6479 generation becomes much faster.
6481 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6482 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6483 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6484 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6485 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6486 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6487 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6488 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6489 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6490 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6493 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6494 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6495 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6496 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6497 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6498 trial division stage.
6501 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6505 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6508 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6511 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6512 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6513 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6517 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6518 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6519 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6522 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6523 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6524 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6525 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6527 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6528 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6531 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6534 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6535 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6536 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6537 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6540 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6541 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6542 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6545 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6546 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6547 (instead of parameters) in future.
6550 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6551 when a new cipher list is set.
6554 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6555 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6558 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6559 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6560 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6562 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6563 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6564 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6565 an error is flagged.
6567 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6568 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6569 the readability was also increased :-)
6570 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6572 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6573 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6574 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6575 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6579 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6580 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6583 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6584 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6585 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6586 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6589 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6590 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6591 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6592 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6593 because they handle more complex structures.)
6596 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6597 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6598 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6599 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6601 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6602 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6603 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6604 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6605 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6606 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6607 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6610 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6611 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6612 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6613 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6614 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6617 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6620 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6621 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6622 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6623 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6624 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6627 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6631 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6632 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6633 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6634 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6637 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6640 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6641 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6642 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6643 international characters are used.
6645 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6646 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6647 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6651 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6652 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6653 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6656 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6657 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6658 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6659 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6660 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6661 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6663 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6664 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6665 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6666 be handled by the string table functions.
6668 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6669 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6670 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6671 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6672 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6676 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6677 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6678 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6679 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6680 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6682 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6683 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6684 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6685 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6688 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6689 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6690 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6691 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6692 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6696 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6697 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6698 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6699 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6700 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6701 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6702 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6703 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6705 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6706 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6707 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6710 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6711 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6712 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6713 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6714 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6715 support to pkcs8 application.
6718 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6719 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6720 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6721 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6722 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6723 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6726 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6727 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6728 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6729 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6730 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6734 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6735 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6736 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6737 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6741 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6742 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6743 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6744 and any application specific purposes.
6746 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6747 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6748 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6749 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6750 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6751 if the certificate is self signed.
6754 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6755 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6758 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6759 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6760 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6761 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6764 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6765 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6766 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6767 Update documentation.
6770 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6771 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6772 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6773 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6774 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6777 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6779 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6781 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6782 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6783 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6784 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6785 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6786 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6787 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6788 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6789 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6790 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6792 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6794 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6795 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6796 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6797 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6798 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6800 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6801 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6802 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6803 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6804 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6805 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6806 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6807 request additional information:
6808 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6809 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6811 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6812 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6813 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6816 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6817 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6820 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6823 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6824 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6826 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6827 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6828 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6832 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6833 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6834 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6836 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6837 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6838 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6839 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6840 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6841 included in OpenSSL.
6844 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6845 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6846 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6847 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6848 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6849 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6852 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6856 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6857 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6858 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6859 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6860 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6864 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6868 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6869 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6870 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6871 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6872 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6873 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6874 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6875 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6876 be maintained manually.
6878 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6879 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6880 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6881 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6882 work because people forget to call this function]
6883 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6884 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6885 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6888 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6889 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6890 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6891 should be discouraged from doing it.
6894 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6895 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6896 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6897 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6898 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6899 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6902 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6903 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6904 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6906 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6907 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6908 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6910 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6911 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6912 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6913 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6914 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6915 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6917 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6918 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6919 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6921 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6922 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6925 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6926 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6927 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6928 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6931 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6934 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6935 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6936 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6937 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6938 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6939 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6940 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6941 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6942 keys so we should be OK.
6944 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6945 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6946 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6947 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6948 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6949 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6950 stay in the name of compatibility.
6952 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6953 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6954 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6956 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6957 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6958 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6959 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6960 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6961 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6965 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6966 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6967 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6968 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6969 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6970 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6971 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6972 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6973 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6974 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6975 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6976 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6977 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6980 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6983 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6984 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6985 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6986 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6987 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6988 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6989 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6990 openssl verify ss.pem
6991 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6992 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6996 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6997 (and add it to external session representation).
6998 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6999 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7000 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7001 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7002 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7003 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7005 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7007 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7008 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7009 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7010 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7012 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7013 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7014 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7017 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7018 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7019 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7023 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7024 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7025 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7027 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7028 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7029 certificate auxiliary information.
7032 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7036 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7037 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7038 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7039 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7040 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7041 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7042 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7045 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7046 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7049 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7050 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7051 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7052 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7055 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7058 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7059 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7062 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7063 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7064 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7065 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7066 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7067 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7068 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7069 using the new 'x509' options.
7071 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7072 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7073 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7074 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7078 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7079 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7080 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7081 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7082 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7085 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7086 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7087 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7088 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7089 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7090 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7091 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7092 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7093 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7094 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7097 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7098 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7099 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7100 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7101 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7102 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7103 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7106 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7107 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7108 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7109 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7110 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7111 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7112 openssl.cnf for more info.
7115 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7116 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7117 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7118 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7119 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7120 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7121 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7122 md should be large enough anyway.
7125 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7126 for handling the random seed file.
7128 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7130 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7133 x509 (when signing).
7134 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7135 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7136 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7138 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7139 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7140 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7141 that support '-rand'.
7144 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7145 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7148 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7149 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7152 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7153 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7154 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7155 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7159 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7160 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7161 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7162 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7165 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7166 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7167 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7168 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7169 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7170 print out all the purposes.
7173 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7177 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7178 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7179 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7180 single function call.
7183 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7184 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7187 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7188 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7189 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7192 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7193 when producing the local key id.
7194 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7196 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7197 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7198 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7202 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7203 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7204 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7205 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7208 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7209 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7210 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7211 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7213 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7214 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7215 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7216 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7218 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7219 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7220 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7221 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7222 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7223 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7224 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7225 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7226 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7227 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7228 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7229 trivial: move one line.
7230 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7232 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7233 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7234 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7235 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7236 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7237 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7238 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7239 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7240 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7241 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7242 with an event loop for example.
7245 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7246 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7247 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7248 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7249 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7250 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7251 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7252 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7253 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7256 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7257 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7258 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7259 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7260 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7261 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7264 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7265 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7266 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7267 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7269 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7270 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7271 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7272 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7276 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7277 (still largely untested)
7280 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7281 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7284 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7285 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7288 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7289 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7290 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7293 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7294 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7295 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7296 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7297 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7300 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7303 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7304 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7305 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7306 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7307 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7311 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7312 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7315 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7318 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7319 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7320 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7321 are otherwise ignored at present.
7324 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7325 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7326 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7327 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7328 copied until the next read.
7331 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7332 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7333 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7336 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7337 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7338 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7339 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7340 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7341 associated functions.
7344 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7345 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7346 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7347 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7348 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7349 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7350 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7351 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7352 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7356 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7357 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7358 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7359 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7362 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7363 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7364 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7365 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7366 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7370 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7371 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7375 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7376 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7377 extensions to be obtained and added.
7380 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7381 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7384 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7386 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7387 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7389 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7390 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7392 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7396 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7397 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7398 DH parameters contain its length).
7400 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7401 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7402 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7403 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7404 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7405 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7406 utter importance to use
7407 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7409 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7410 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7411 attacks may become possible!
7414 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7417 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7418 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7421 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7422 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7423 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7427 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7428 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7429 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7430 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7431 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7432 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7433 private key operations.
7436 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7439 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7440 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7442 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7443 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7444 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7445 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7446 the password callback is called.
7447 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7449 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7451 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7452 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7453 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7454 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7455 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7456 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7459 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7460 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7461 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7462 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7463 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7464 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7467 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7470 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7471 delete an unused file.
7474 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7475 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7476 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7477 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7480 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7481 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7482 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7486 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7487 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7488 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7490 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7491 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7492 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7493 comparison" warnings.
7494 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7497 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7498 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7499 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7502 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7503 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7505 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7506 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7508 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7509 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7510 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7512 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7513 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7514 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7515 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7516 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7518 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7520 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7521 The interface is as follows:
7522 Applications can use
7523 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7524 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7525 "off" is now the default.
7526 The library internally uses
7527 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7528 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7529 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7531 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7532 even the default) are now avoided.
7534 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7535 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7536 than just having a counter.
7538 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7540 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7544 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7545 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7546 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7547 Initial "mode" flags are:
7549 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7550 a single record has been written.
7551 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7552 retries use the same buffer location.
7553 (But all of the contents must be
7557 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7560 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7561 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7563 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7564 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7565 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7568 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7569 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7571 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7573 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7574 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7575 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7576 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7578 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7579 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7581 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7582 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7583 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7584 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7585 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7586 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7589 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7590 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7591 necessary function names.
7594 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7595 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7596 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7597 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7600 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7601 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7602 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7605 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7606 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7607 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7608 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7610 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7614 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7615 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7616 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7619 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7620 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7624 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7625 for the encoded length.
7626 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7628 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7631 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7632 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7633 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7634 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7637 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7638 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7639 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7641 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7642 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7643 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7647 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7648 to use the new extension code.
7651 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7652 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7653 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7657 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7658 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7659 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7663 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7666 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7667 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7668 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7671 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7672 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7673 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7674 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7677 *) DES library cleanups.
7680 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7681 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7682 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7683 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7684 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7688 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7689 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7692 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7693 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7694 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7695 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7696 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7697 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7698 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7699 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7700 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7703 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7704 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7705 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7706 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7707 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7708 value doesn't matter.
7711 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7715 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7716 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7717 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7718 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7720 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7723 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7724 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7725 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7727 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7728 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7730 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7733 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7736 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7739 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7743 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7745 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7747 *) Updated some demos.
7748 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7750 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7753 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7756 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7759 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7760 instead of using a fixed path.
7763 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7766 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7770 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7772 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7773 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7774 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7776 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7777 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7778 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7779 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7780 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7781 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7782 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7783 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7784 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7785 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7788 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7789 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7792 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7793 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7794 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7795 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7796 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7798 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7801 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7802 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7803 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7806 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7809 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7810 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7811 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7812 key elements as negative integers.
7815 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7816 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7819 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7821 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7822 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7823 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7826 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7827 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7828 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7829 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7830 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7833 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7836 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7837 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7838 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7841 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7842 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7843 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7845 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7846 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7847 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7848 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7849 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7850 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7851 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7852 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7853 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7855 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7856 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7857 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7858 does not influence s as it used to.
7860 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7861 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7862 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7863 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7864 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7865 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7868 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7869 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7870 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7874 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7875 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7876 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7880 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7881 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7882 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7886 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7887 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7890 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7891 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7896 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7897 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7899 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7900 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7902 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7905 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7908 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7909 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7911 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7912 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7913 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7917 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7918 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7919 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7920 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7921 now it really counts the depth.
7924 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7925 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7926 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7927 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7928 didn't match the private key).
7930 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7931 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7932 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7935 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7938 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7942 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7943 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7944 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7947 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7950 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7951 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7952 such as /usr/local/bin.
7955 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7956 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7958 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7961 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7962 extension adding in x509 utility.
7965 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7968 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7972 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7975 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7976 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7977 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7978 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7979 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7980 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7981 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7982 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7983 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7984 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7987 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7990 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7991 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7994 *) Fix some race conditions.
7997 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7998 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8001 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8004 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8005 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8006 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8007 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8009 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8010 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8012 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8013 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8014 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8016 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8017 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8019 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8022 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8023 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8025 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8028 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8029 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8031 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8032 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8035 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8036 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8039 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8040 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8043 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8044 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8047 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8048 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8051 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8052 support typesafe stack.
8055 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8056 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8058 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8059 old X509V3 handling code.
8062 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8065 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8068 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8071 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8072 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8074 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8075 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8076 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8077 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8078 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8081 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8082 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8083 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8084 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8085 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8087 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8088 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8089 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8090 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8092 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8093 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8094 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8097 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8098 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8099 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8100 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8101 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8102 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8105 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8106 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8109 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8110 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8113 *) Tweaks to Configure
8114 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8116 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8120 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8123 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8124 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8127 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8128 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8129 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8132 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8135 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8136 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8139 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8140 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8141 to library startup routines.
8144 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8145 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8146 codes along the way.
8149 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8150 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8151 objects to objects.h
8154 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8155 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8158 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8159 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8161 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8162 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8163 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8165 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8166 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8167 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8169 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8170 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8171 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8174 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8176 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8177 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8180 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8181 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8182 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8183 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8184 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8186 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8187 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8188 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8190 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8192 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8194 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8196 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8197 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8199 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8200 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8201 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8202 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8204 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8207 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8208 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8209 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8210 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8213 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8214 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8215 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8218 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8219 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8220 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8221 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8222 installed as `perl').
8223 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8225 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8226 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8228 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8229 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8230 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8231 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8232 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8235 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8238 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8239 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8240 is horrible: I feel ill....
8243 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8244 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8245 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8246 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8249 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8250 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8252 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8253 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8254 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8255 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8257 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8258 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8259 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8260 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8261 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8262 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8264 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8266 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8267 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8269 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8270 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8272 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8275 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8276 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8280 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8281 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8282 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8283 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8284 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8285 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8286 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8287 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8288 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8289 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8290 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8292 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8295 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8296 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8297 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8298 for linking it into DSOs.
8299 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8301 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8305 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8306 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8307 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8308 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8309 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8310 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8312 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8313 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8314 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8315 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8316 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8317 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8318 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8320 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8321 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8322 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8326 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8327 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8328 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8329 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8332 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8333 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8334 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8335 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8336 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8340 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8341 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8342 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8343 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8344 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8346 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8347 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8348 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8350 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8351 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8353 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8354 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8355 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8356 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8357 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8360 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8361 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8362 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8363 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8364 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8365 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8366 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8369 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8371 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8372 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8375 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8376 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8378 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8379 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8382 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8383 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8384 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8385 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8386 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8388 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8389 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8390 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8391 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8392 no way to reconfigure them.
8393 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8394 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8395 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8396 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8397 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8398 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8400 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8401 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8402 recognized by the users.
8403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8405 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8406 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8407 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8408 already masked variable.
8409 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8411 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8412 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8414 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8415 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8416 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8417 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8419 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8420 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8421 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8423 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8424 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8425 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8426 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8427 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8428 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8429 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8430 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8432 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8434 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8435 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8436 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8438 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8439 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8443 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8444 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8446 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8447 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8448 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8449 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8452 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8455 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8456 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8458 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8461 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8462 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8465 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8466 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8469 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8470 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8471 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8472 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8473 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8474 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8475 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8478 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8479 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8481 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8482 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8483 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8484 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8485 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8487 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8488 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8489 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8492 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8493 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8497 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8498 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8499 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8501 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8502 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8503 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8507 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8508 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8509 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8510 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8513 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8514 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8515 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8516 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8519 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8520 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8521 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8522 so it wasn't spotted.
8523 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8525 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8526 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8527 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8528 vectors if you have them.
8531 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8532 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8535 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8536 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8537 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8538 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8540 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8541 it will update them.
8544 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8545 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8546 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8547 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8548 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8549 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8550 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8551 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8553 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8554 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8555 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8556 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8557 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8558 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8559 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8560 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8561 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8562 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8564 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8565 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8566 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8567 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8568 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8571 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8575 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8576 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8578 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8579 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8581 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8582 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8585 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8586 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8588 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8589 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8591 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8594 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8598 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8599 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8600 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8601 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8603 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8606 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8609 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8612 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8613 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8616 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8617 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8621 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8622 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8625 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8626 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8627 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8630 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8631 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8632 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8633 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8634 properly to be processed.
8637 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8638 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8639 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8642 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8643 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8645 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8646 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8647 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8648 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8649 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8650 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8651 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8652 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8653 or delete all the .err files.
8656 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8657 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8658 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8659 to regenerate it if needed.
8660 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8661 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8663 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8664 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8666 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8667 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8668 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8669 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8670 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8673 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8674 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8676 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8677 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8679 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8680 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8681 error, but didn't set one).
8682 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8684 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8687 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8688 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8691 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8692 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8694 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8695 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8696 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8697 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8698 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8699 OID is not part of the table.
8702 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8703 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8706 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8709 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8710 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8714 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8715 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8717 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8719 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8721 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8722 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8724 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8725 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8727 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8728 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8730 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8731 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8734 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8735 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8738 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8739 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8741 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8742 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8744 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8745 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8747 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8748 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8750 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8751 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8752 unused in the certificate verification process.
8753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8755 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8756 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8759 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8760 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8761 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8763 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8764 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8765 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8766 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8767 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8769 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8770 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8773 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8776 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8779 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8780 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8782 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8785 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8788 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8791 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8792 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8793 other error libraries.
8796 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8799 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8800 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8804 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8805 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8806 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8807 the new set of documenation files.
8808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8810 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8811 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8812 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8813 number of arguments.
8814 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8816 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8819 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8820 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8821 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8823 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8826 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8830 unixware-2.0-pentium
8834 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8835 before they are needed.
8838 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8842 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8844 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8845 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8846 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8848 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8851 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8852 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8853 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8855 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8856 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8857 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8859 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8860 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8861 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8863 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8864 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8866 *) Updated the README file.
8867 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8869 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8870 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8871 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8873 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8874 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8877 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8878 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8879 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8880 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8881 o removed obsolete TODO file
8882 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8885 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8886 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8887 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8888 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8889 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8890 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8893 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8896 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8897 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8898 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8900 [The OpenSSL Project]
8903 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8905 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8908 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8911 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8912 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8915 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8916 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8920 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8922 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8924 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8927 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8930 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8933 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8936 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8939 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8942 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8945 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8948 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8951 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8954 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8957 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8960 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8963 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8966 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8969 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8972 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8975 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8976 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8977 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8980 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8981 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8984 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8987 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8990 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8991 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8994 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8997 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9000 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9001 bytes sent in the client random.
