10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
12 *) Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
13 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
15 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
16 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
17 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
21 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
22 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
23 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
24 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
25 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
26 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
27 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
28 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
29 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
32 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
33 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
34 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
35 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
39 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
40 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
41 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
42 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
43 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
44 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
45 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
46 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
47 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
48 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
49 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
50 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
53 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
54 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
55 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
56 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
57 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
58 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
59 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
62 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
63 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
64 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
65 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
66 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
67 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
68 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
71 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
72 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
73 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
74 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
75 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
78 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
79 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
80 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
81 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
84 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
85 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
86 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
87 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
88 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
92 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
93 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
94 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
97 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
100 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
101 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
102 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
103 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
106 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
109 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
113 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
114 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
115 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
116 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
117 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
118 functions for further details.
121 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
124 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
127 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
130 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
131 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
132 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
133 variables, only functions.
136 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
137 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
138 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
142 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
145 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
148 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
149 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
150 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
151 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
152 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
153 To enable or disable these checks use the control
154 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
157 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
158 #defines are deprecated.
161 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
162 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
163 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
166 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
169 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
170 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
171 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
172 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
175 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
178 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
181 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
182 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
183 for scripting purposes.
186 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
187 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
188 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
189 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
190 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
191 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
192 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
193 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
194 should not use these modes.
197 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
200 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
201 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
204 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
205 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
206 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
207 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
209 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
210 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
211 The configuration option is now deprecated.
214 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
215 digest name in its output.
218 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
219 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
220 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
221 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
223 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
224 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
227 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
228 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
229 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
230 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
232 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
233 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
234 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
236 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
237 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
240 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
243 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
246 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
250 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
251 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
252 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
253 to affine coordinates.
254 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
256 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
257 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
258 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
259 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
260 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
263 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
266 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
269 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
270 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
271 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
272 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
273 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
274 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
276 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
277 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
280 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
283 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
286 *) Change the possible version information given with OPENSSL_API_COMPAT.
287 It may be a pre-3.0.0 style numerical version number as it was defined
288 in 1.1.0, and it may also simply take the major version number.
290 Because of the version numbering of pre-3.0.0 releases, the values 0,
291 1 and 2 are equivalent to 0x00908000L (0.9.8), 0x10000000L (1.0.0) and
292 0x10100000L (1.1.0), respectively.
295 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
297 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
298 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
299 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
300 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
301 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
302 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
303 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
304 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
307 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
310 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
311 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
312 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
315 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
316 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
319 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
320 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
324 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
327 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
330 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
331 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
332 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
333 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
336 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
337 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
340 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
341 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
342 are retained for backwards compatibility.
345 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
346 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
347 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
348 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
349 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
352 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
353 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
354 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
357 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
358 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
361 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
362 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
363 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
366 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
368 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
369 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
370 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
371 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
372 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
373 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
374 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
375 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
379 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
381 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
383 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
384 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
385 algorithm to recover the private key.
387 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
391 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
393 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
394 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
395 algorithm to recover the private key.
397 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
401 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
402 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
403 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
405 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
406 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
407 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
408 provided by the application.
410 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
412 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
413 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
414 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
415 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
416 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
420 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
423 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
424 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
425 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
428 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
429 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
430 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
433 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
434 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
435 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
436 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
437 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
438 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
439 to work in projective coordinates.
440 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
442 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
443 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
444 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
445 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
447 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
449 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
452 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
453 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
454 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
455 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
458 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
459 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
462 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
463 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
464 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
465 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
466 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
468 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
469 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
470 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
471 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
472 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
473 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
475 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
476 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
477 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
478 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
479 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
482 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
483 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
484 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
488 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
489 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
490 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
491 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
492 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
493 multi-version installation is managed.
496 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
497 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
498 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
499 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
500 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
503 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
504 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
505 chosen point SCA attacks.
506 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
508 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
509 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
512 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
513 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
514 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
517 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
518 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
519 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
520 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
521 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
522 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
523 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
524 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
525 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
528 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
529 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
532 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
533 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
536 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
537 binary and prime elliptic curves.
540 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
541 constant time fixed point multiplication.
544 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
545 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
546 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
547 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
548 ECDH derive operations).
549 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida GarcÃa,
552 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
555 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
556 randomness from the system.
557 [Matthias St. Pierre]
559 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
562 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
563 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
566 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
569 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
570 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
572 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
575 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
576 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
577 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
580 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
584 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
585 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
588 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
591 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
592 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
593 [Matthias St. Pierre]
595 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
596 for the license change).
599 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
600 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
603 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
604 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
605 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
606 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
607 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
608 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
609 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
612 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
613 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
614 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
615 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
616 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
617 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
618 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
619 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
620 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
621 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
622 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
626 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
630 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
631 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
632 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
633 get the search data out of them.
636 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
637 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
638 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
639 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
642 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
644 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
645 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
646 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
647 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
648 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
649 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
651 Some of its new features are:
652 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
653 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
654 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
655 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
656 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
657 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
659 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
661 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
662 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
663 to display all sorts of configuration data.
666 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
669 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
672 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
676 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
677 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
678 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
679 debug (or make silent).
682 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
683 arguments to config / Configure.
686 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
689 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
690 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
691 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
692 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
694 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
695 as documented in RFC6066.
696 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
697 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
699 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
700 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
701 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
702 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
704 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
705 original author does not agree with the license change.
708 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
711 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
712 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
715 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
716 without clearing the errors.
719 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
720 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
721 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
727 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
728 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
729 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
732 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
733 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
734 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
735 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
738 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
739 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
740 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
741 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
742 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
743 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
744 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
747 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
748 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
749 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
750 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
753 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
754 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
755 error code calls like this:
757 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
759 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
760 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
762 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
764 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
767 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
768 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
769 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
770 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
773 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
774 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
775 than just the call where this user data is passed.
778 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
780 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
782 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
783 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
784 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
785 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
786 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
787 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
788 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
792 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
793 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
794 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
798 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
799 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
800 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
802 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
806 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
807 platform rather than 'mingw'.
810 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
811 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
812 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
813 certificates and CRLs.
816 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
817 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
820 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
821 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
824 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
825 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
826 which is the minimum version we support.
829 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
830 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
831 are no longer allowed.
834 *) Add support for ARIA
837 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
838 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
839 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
843 *) Add support for SipHash
846 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
847 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
848 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
849 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
852 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
853 using the algorithm defined in
854 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
857 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
858 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
860 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
863 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
864 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
868 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
870 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
872 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
873 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
874 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
875 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
876 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
878 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
882 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
884 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
885 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
886 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
887 recover the private key.
889 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
890 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
894 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
895 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
896 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
899 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
900 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
903 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
904 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
905 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
906 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
908 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
910 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
913 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
914 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
917 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
918 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
921 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
922 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
923 are no longer allowed.
926 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
928 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
929 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
930 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
931 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
932 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
933 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
934 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
935 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
936 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
937 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
938 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
939 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
940 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
943 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
945 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
947 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
948 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
949 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
950 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
951 so this is considered safe.
953 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
958 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
960 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
961 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
962 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
963 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
964 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
965 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
967 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
972 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
973 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
974 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
975 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
978 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
980 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
981 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
982 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
983 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
984 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
986 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
987 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
988 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
991 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
995 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
997 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
998 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
999 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1000 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1001 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1002 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1003 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1004 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1005 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1006 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1008 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1009 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1011 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1012 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1016 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1018 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1020 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1021 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1022 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1023 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1024 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1025 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1026 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1027 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1028 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1029 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1030 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1032 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1033 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1035 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1039 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1041 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1042 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1043 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1045 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1049 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1051 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1052 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1055 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1056 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1057 which is the minimum version we support.
1060 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1062 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1064 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1065 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1066 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1067 and servers are affected.
1069 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1073 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1075 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1077 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1078 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1079 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1081 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1085 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1087 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1088 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1089 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1092 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1096 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1098 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1099 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1100 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1101 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1102 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1103 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1104 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1105 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1106 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1107 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1108 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1109 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1110 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1112 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1116 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1118 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1120 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1121 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1122 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1124 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1128 *) CMS Null dereference
1130 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1131 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1132 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1133 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1134 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1137 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1141 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1143 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1144 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1145 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1146 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1147 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1148 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1149 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1150 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1151 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1152 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1153 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1154 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1155 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1156 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1158 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1159 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1160 providing reproducible case.
1164 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1165 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1168 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1170 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1172 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1173 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1174 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1175 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1176 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1177 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1179 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1181 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1185 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1187 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1189 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1190 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1191 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1192 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1193 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1194 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1195 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1197 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1201 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1203 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1204 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1205 Denial Of Service attack.
1207 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1211 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1212 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1214 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1215 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1216 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1217 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1218 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1219 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1220 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1221 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1222 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1223 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1224 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1225 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1226 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1227 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1228 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1230 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1231 that the connection fails
1233 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1234 very little free memory
1236 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1237 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1238 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1239 memory to service the multiple requests.
1241 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1242 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1243 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1244 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1245 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
1247 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1248 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1251 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1252 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1253 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1254 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1255 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1256 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1257 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1260 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1262 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1263 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1264 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1265 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1266 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1270 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1271 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1272 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1275 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1276 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1277 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1278 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1281 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1282 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1286 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1287 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1288 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1289 no-ops and deprecated.
1292 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1293 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1295 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1297 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1298 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1299 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1302 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1303 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1304 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1305 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1306 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1307 and the validity of object reference counter.
1308 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1310 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1311 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1312 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1313 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1316 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1319 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1320 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1321 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1322 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1324 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1328 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1329 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1332 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1335 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1338 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1339 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1340 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1341 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1342 name and is used as is.
1345 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1346 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1347 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1350 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1351 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1354 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1355 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1359 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1360 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1361 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1362 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1363 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1364 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1365 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1366 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1367 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1370 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1371 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1372 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1373 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1375 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1376 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1377 these have been added.
1380 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1381 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1382 functions for managing these have been added.
1385 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1386 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1387 these have been added.
1390 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1391 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1395 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1398 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1401 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1402 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1405 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1408 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1411 *) Add support for HKDF.
1412 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1414 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1417 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1418 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1419 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1420 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1421 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1422 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1423 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1426 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1427 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1428 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1431 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1432 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1433 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1434 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1435 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1436 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1437 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1439 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1440 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1443 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1446 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1447 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1448 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1449 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1450 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1451 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1455 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1456 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1459 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1460 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1461 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1464 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1465 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1466 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1467 implemented by other servers.
1470 *) Add X25519 support.
1471 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1472 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1473 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1474 key generation and key derivation.
1476 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1480 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1481 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1482 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1483 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1484 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1486 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1487 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1488 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1489 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1490 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1491 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1492 that of a valid user.
1495 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1496 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1497 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1498 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1500 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1501 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1503 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1504 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1505 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1506 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1508 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1509 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1513 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1514 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1515 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1516 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1517 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1518 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1520 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1521 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1522 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1525 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1528 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1529 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1530 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1534 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1535 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1536 old #define's might need to be updated.
1537 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1539 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1542 *) New "unified" build system
1544 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1545 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1547 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1548 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1549 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1551 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1552 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1553 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1554 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1557 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1558 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1559 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1560 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1561 libraries" in INSTALL.
1563 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1566 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1567 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1568 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1569 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1572 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1573 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1575 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1576 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1577 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1578 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1579 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1580 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1581 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1582 have been adapted accordingly.
1585 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1589 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1590 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1591 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1592 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1595 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1596 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1597 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1601 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1602 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1605 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1606 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1607 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1609 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1610 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1611 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1613 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1614 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1616 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1617 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1618 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1619 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1622 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1623 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1624 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1625 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1626 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1630 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1631 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1632 straightforward and less interdependent.
1634 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1635 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1636 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1638 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1639 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1640 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1642 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1643 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1644 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1645 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1647 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1648 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1651 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1652 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1653 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1654 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1658 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1660 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1662 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1663 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1664 before trying to build now.*
1667 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1671 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1673 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1674 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1675 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1676 used to authenticate the peer.
1678 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1679 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1680 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1681 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1682 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1685 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1686 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1687 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1688 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1689 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1690 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1692 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1693 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1694 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1695 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1696 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1697 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1698 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1699 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1702 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1703 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1704 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1705 compile with later releases.
1707 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1708 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1709 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1710 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1711 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1714 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1715 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1716 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1717 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1718 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1719 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1720 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1721 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1724 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1727 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1728 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1729 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1732 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1733 include the ec.h header file instead.
1736 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1737 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1738 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1741 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1742 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1745 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1746 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1748 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1749 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1750 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1753 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1754 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1755 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1756 an already created structure.
1757 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1758 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1759 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1760 for deprecated builds.
1763 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1764 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1765 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1766 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1767 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1768 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1769 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1772 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1773 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1774 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1775 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1778 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1779 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1782 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1783 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1786 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1787 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1788 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1789 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1790 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1791 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1792 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1796 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1797 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1798 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1801 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1804 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1806 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1808 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1810 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1811 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1819 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1820 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1822 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1823 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1824 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1828 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1831 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1832 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1833 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1834 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1837 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1838 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1839 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1840 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1843 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1844 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1845 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1847 *) New testing framework
1848 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1849 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1850 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1851 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1852 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1853 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1855 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1857 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1858 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1862 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1863 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1864 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1865 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1868 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1870 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1872 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1873 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1875 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1876 original RSA_PSK patch.
1879 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1880 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1881 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1882 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1885 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1886 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1889 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1890 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1891 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1894 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1895 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1896 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1897 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1901 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1902 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1903 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1904 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1907 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1908 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1909 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1910 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1911 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1912 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1915 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1916 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1917 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1918 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1919 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1920 header file has been removed.
1923 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1924 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1927 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1928 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1929 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1931 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1935 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1938 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1942 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1945 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1946 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1947 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1950 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1951 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1952 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1953 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1956 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1957 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1958 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1959 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1960 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1961 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1964 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1965 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1966 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1967 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1970 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1971 compatible client hello.
1974 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1975 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1976 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1978 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1981 *) Removed old DES API.
1984 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1990 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1995 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1998 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1999 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2000 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2001 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2002 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2003 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2004 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2005 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2006 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2007 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2008 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2011 *) Cleaned up dead code
2012 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2015 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2016 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2017 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2020 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2021 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2022 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2025 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2026 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2027 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2029 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2030 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2031 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2033 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2035 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2037 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2038 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2039 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2041 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2042 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2044 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2045 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2048 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2049 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2050 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2051 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2053 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2054 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2055 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2056 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2058 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2059 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2060 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2062 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2063 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2066 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2068 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2069 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2071 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2072 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2074 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2077 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2081 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2082 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2083 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2084 algorithms and include tests cases.
2087 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2091 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2092 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2095 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2096 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2098 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2099 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2102 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2103 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2107 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2108 sign or verify all in one operation.
2111 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2112 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2113 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2116 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2119 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2122 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2123 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2124 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2125 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2126 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2129 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2133 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2134 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2135 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2138 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2141 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2142 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2145 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2146 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2149 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2150 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2151 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2154 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2155 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2156 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2157 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2158 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2159 requested amount of entropy.
2162 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2163 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2166 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2167 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2168 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2172 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2173 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2174 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2177 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2178 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2179 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2180 will never use XTS mode.
2183 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2184 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2185 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2186 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2187 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2188 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2191 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2192 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2193 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2194 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2197 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2198 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2199 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2202 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2205 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2208 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2209 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2212 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2213 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2216 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2217 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2220 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2221 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2222 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2223 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2224 and rename any affected symbols.
2227 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2228 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2231 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2232 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2233 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2236 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2239 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2240 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2241 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2244 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2245 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2248 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2249 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2250 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2251 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2252 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2253 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2257 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2258 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2259 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2260 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2261 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2262 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2263 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2264 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2267 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2268 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2271 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2273 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2274 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2276 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2277 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2278 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2279 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2280 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2281 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2283 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2284 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2285 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2287 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2289 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2293 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2294 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2297 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2298 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2299 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2302 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2303 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2304 multi-process servers.
2307 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2308 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2309 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2310 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2311 RAND_METHOD structure.
2314 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2315 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2316 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2317 whose return value is often ignored.
2320 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2321 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2322 validated when establishing a connection.
2323 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
2325 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2327 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2329 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2330 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2333 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2334 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2335 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2336 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2337 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2340 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2344 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2346 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2347 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2348 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2351 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2352 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2353 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2354 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2355 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2356 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2358 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2362 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2364 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2365 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2366 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2367 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2368 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2369 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2370 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2371 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2372 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2373 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2374 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2375 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2376 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2377 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2378 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2379 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2381 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2385 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2387 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2388 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2389 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2391 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2392 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2393 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2394 applications are not affected.
2396 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2402 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2403 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2404 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2406 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2410 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2411 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2414 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2418 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2419 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2422 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2424 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2425 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2426 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2429 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2430 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2431 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2432 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2433 will need to explicitly call either of:
2435 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2437 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2439 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2440 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2441 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2442 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2443 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2447 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2449 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2450 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2451 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2454 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2459 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2461 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2463 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2464 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2465 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2468 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2469 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2470 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2471 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2472 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2473 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2474 that of a valid user.
2478 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2480 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2481 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2482 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2483 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2484 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2485 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2486 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2487 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2488 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2489 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2490 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2492 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2493 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2494 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2495 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2496 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2498 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2502 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2504 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2505 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2506 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2508 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2509 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2510 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2511 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2512 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2515 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2516 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2517 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2518 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2519 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2520 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2521 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2522 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2523 as command line arguments.
2525 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2526 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2527 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2529 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2533 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2535 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2536 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2537 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2538 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2539 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2541 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2542 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2543 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2544 http://cachebleed.info.
2548 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2549 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2550 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2551 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2554 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2555 *) DH small subgroups
2557 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2558 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2559 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2560 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2561 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2562 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2563 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2564 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2565 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2566 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2568 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2569 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2570 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2571 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2572 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2574 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2575 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2576 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2577 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2579 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2580 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2582 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2586 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2588 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2589 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2590 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2593 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2594 and Sebastian Schinzel.
2598 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2600 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2602 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2603 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2604 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2605 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2606 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2607 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2608 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2609 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2610 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2611 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2612 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2613 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
2615 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
2619 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2621 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2622 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2623 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2624 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2625 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2626 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2627 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2630 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2634 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2636 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2637 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2638 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2639 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2641 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2646 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2647 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2648 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2649 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2652 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2654 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2656 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2658 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2660 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2661 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2662 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2663 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2664 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2665 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2667 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2671 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2673 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2674 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2678 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2680 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2682 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2683 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2686 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2687 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2688 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2689 client authentication enabled.
2691 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2695 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2697 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2698 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2699 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2702 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2703 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2704 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2705 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2706 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2709 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2710 independently by Hanno Böck.
2714 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2716 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2717 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2718 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2720 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2721 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2722 servers are not affected.
2724 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2728 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2730 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2731 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2732 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2734 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2738 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2740 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2741 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2742 a double free of the ticket data.
2746 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2747 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2748 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2751 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2753 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2755 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2756 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2757 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2759 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2762 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2764 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2766 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2767 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2768 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2769 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2770 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2771 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2772 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2773 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2775 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2779 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2781 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2782 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2783 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2784 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2785 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2786 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2787 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2788 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2791 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2795 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2797 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2798 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2799 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2800 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2801 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2802 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2806 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2808 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2809 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2810 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2811 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2812 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2813 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2814 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2816 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2820 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2822 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2823 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2824 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2826 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2827 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2828 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2833 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2835 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2836 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2837 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2839 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2840 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2841 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2843 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2847 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2849 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2850 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2851 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2853 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2854 (OpenSSL development team).
2858 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2860 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2861 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2862 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2866 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2868 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2869 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2870 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2871 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2872 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2873 SSL_client_methodv23)
2874 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2875 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2877 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2878 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2879 output may be predictable.
2881 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2882 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2884 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2888 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2890 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2891 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2892 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2893 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2894 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2895 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2897 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2902 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2904 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2905 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2907 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2911 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2914 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2916 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2917 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2918 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2919 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2920 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2921 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2924 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2925 (other platforms pending).
2926 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2928 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2929 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2932 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2933 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2934 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2937 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2938 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2939 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2940 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2943 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2944 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2946 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2947 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2948 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2949 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2950 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2952 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2955 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2956 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2957 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2958 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2960 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2962 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2964 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2965 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2966 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2969 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2972 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2973 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2974 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2977 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2978 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2981 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2982 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2985 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2986 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2987 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2988 algorithms and include tests cases.
2991 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2993 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2995 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2996 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2999 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3000 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3001 summary of the connection parameters.
3004 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3005 of connection parameters.
3008 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3009 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3011 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3012 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3015 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3018 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3019 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3022 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3023 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3026 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3030 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3031 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3032 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3035 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3038 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3039 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3042 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3043 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3044 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3048 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3049 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3052 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3056 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3060 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3061 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3062 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3063 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3066 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3067 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3070 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3071 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3072 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3076 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3077 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3078 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3079 use the certificate.
3082 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3085 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3086 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3087 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3088 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3089 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3090 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3091 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3093 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3094 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3098 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3099 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3100 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3103 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3104 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3105 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3106 supported signature algorithms.
3109 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3112 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3113 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3114 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3115 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3116 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3117 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3118 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3121 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3122 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3123 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3124 to have similar checks in it.
3126 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3127 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3128 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3129 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3130 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3133 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3134 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3135 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3136 shared signature algorithms.
3139 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3140 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3144 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3145 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3146 it couldn't be removed.
3149 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3150 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3153 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3154 functions. Add manual page.
3155 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3157 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3158 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3162 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3163 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3165 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3166 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3167 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3168 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3172 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3173 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3176 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3177 platform support for Linux and Android.
3180 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3183 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3184 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3185 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3186 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3187 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3190 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3191 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3192 the new parameter format automatically.
3195 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3196 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3199 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3202 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3203 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3204 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3205 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3206 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3209 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3210 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3211 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3212 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3213 to set list of supported curves.
3216 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3217 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3218 to print out received values.
3221 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3222 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3223 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3226 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3227 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3230 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3231 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3234 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3238 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3240 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3241 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3242 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3244 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3246 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3247 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3249 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3251 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3252 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3253 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3254 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3258 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3259 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3260 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3261 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3262 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3263 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3267 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3268 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3269 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3270 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3274 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3277 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3278 reporting this issue.
3282 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3283 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3284 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3285 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3286 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3287 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3291 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3292 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3293 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3294 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3295 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3296 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3297 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3302 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3303 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3305 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3306 and can vary with the CTX.
3309 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3311 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3312 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3313 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3314 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3315 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3317 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3319 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3320 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3322 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3324 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3325 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3326 errors for some broken certificates.
3328 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3330 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3332 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3333 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3335 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3336 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3337 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3338 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3340 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3341 of the OpenSSL core team.
3346 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3347 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3348 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3349 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3350 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3351 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3352 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3353 the OpenSSL core team.
3357 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3358 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3359 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3360 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3361 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3363 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3364 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3365 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3368 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3369 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3370 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3371 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3372 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3374 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3375 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3376 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3379 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3381 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3383 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3384 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3385 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3386 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3387 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3388 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3389 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3391 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3395 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3397 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3398 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3399 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3400 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3401 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3406 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3408 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3409 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3410 configured to send them.
3412 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3414 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3415 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3416 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3418 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3420 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3422 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3423 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3424 DigestInfo structures.
3426 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3430 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3432 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3433 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3434 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3436 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3437 Group for discovering this issue.
3441 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3442 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3443 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3444 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3445 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3447 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3448 researching this issue.
3452 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3453 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3454 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3455 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3457 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3462 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3463 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3464 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3468 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3469 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3470 Denial of Service attack.
3471 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3475 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3476 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3477 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3478 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3483 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3484 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3485 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3487 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3492 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3493 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3494 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3495 Denial of Service attack.
3497 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3498 discovering and researching this issue.
3502 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3503 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3504 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3505 output to the attacker.
3507 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3509 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3511 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3512 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3513 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3516 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3518 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3519 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3520 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3522 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3523 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3524 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3526 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3527 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3530 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3532 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3534 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3535 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3536 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3537 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3539 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3540 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3542 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3543 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3545 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3546 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3547 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3549 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3551 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3553 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3554 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3555 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3557 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3558 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3560 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3562 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3563 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3566 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3567 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3568 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3569 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3571 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3572 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3573 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3574 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3576 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3577 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3578 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3580 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3582 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3583 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3584 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3585 is at least 512 bytes long.
3587 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3589 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3591 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3592 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3593 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3596 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3597 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3598 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3601 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3602 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3603 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3604 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3605 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3606 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3607 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3609 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3611 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3612 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3613 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3615 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3617 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3619 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3620 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3621 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3623 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3624 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3625 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3626 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3628 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3630 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3631 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3632 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3633 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3634 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3638 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3639 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3642 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3643 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3645 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3646 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3647 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3648 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3649 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3651 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3654 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3658 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3660 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3661 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3663 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3664 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3668 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3669 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3672 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3676 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3678 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3679 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3680 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3681 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3682 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3683 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3684 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3685 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3686 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3687 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3690 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3691 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3692 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3693 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3694 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3695 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3699 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3701 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3702 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3703 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3705 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3706 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3708 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3710 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3713 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3714 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3716 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3717 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3718 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3719 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3720 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3721 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3722 Most broken servers should now work.
3723 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3724 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3727 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3730 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3732 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3733 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3736 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3737 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3738 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3739 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3740 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3743 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3744 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3745 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3746 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3747 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3750 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3751 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3753 *) Add support for SCTP.
3754 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3756 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3757 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3759 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3761 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3762 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3763 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3764 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3765 - s390x: z196 support;
3766 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3770 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3771 (removal of unnecessary code)
3772 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3774 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3777 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3780 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3781 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3782 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3784 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3786 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3787 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3788 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3789 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3790 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3792 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3793 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3794 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3796 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3797 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3798 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3800 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3801 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3803 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3805 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3806 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3807 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3810 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3811 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3815 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3816 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3817 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3820 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3821 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3822 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3823 the appropriate parameters.
3826 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3827 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3828 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3829 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3830 against a number of sample certificates.
3833 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3834 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3836 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3837 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3839 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3840 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3844 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3848 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3849 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3850 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3851 password based CMS).
3854 *) Session-handling fixes:
3855 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3856 but also support Session Tickets.
3857 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3858 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3859 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3860 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3861 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3862 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3864 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3867 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3869 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3872 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3873 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3874 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3875 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3876 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3879 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3880 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3883 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3884 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3885 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3888 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3889 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3890 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3891 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3894 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3895 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3896 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3899 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3900 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3902 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3905 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3906 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3909 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3912 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3913 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3916 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3917 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3920 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3923 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3924 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3925 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3928 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3931 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3934 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3935 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3938 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3939 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3940 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3943 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3946 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3950 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3951 FIPS modules versions.
3954 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3955 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3956 until after the certificate request message is received.
3959 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3960 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3961 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3962 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3965 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3966 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3967 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3968 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3971 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3972 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3973 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3974 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3975 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3976 and version checking.
3979 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3980 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3981 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3982 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3985 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3986 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3987 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3988 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3991 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3994 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3995 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3996 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3998 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3999 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4000 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4003 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4004 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4006 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4007 a few changes are required:
4009 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4010 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4011 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4012 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4013 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4016 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4018 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4019 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4020 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4021 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4022 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4023 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4024 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4025 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4026 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4029 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4030 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4031 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4034 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4036 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4037 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4038 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4039 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4042 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4044 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4045 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4046 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4047 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4048 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4049 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4050 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4051 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4052 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4053 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4054 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4055 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4056 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4058 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4060 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4062 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4063 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4064 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4065 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4067 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4068 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4070 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4071 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4072 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4073 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4075 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4076 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4078 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4079 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4081 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4082 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4084 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4085 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4086 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4088 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4089 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4090 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4092 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4093 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4094 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4095 the last update always remained unused).
4096 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4098 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4099 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4101 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4103 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4104 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4105 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4107 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4108 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4109 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4111 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4114 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4115 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4116 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4119 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4120 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4122 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4124 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4126 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4128 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4129 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4131 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4132 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4136 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4138 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4139 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4140 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4143 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4144 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4145 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4148 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4150 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4151 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4152 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4155 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4159 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4161 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4163 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4165 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4167 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4168 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4169 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4172 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4175 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4176 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4177 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4179 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4180 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4181 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4184 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4185 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4188 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4189 some responders need this.
4192 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4194 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4196 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4197 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4198 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4201 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4204 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4205 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4206 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4207 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4208 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4209 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4210 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4211 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4214 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4215 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4216 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4217 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4219 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4220 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4222 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4226 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4227 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4228 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4229 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4230 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4231 attempting to work them out.
4234 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4235 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4236 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4237 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4240 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4241 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4242 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4243 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4244 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4247 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4248 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4255 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4257 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4261 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4262 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4264 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4265 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4267 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4268 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4269 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4270 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4271 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4274 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4275 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4276 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4279 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4280 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4283 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4284 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4286 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4287 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4290 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4293 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4294 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4295 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4299 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4300 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4301 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4302 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4303 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4304 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4307 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4308 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4310 This work was sponsored by Google.
4313 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4314 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4315 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4316 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4317 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4318 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4319 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4322 This work was sponsored by Google.
4325 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4327 This work was sponsored by Google.
4330 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4331 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4332 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4333 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4335 This work was sponsored by Google.
4338 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4339 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4340 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4341 CRL functionality in future.
4343 This work was sponsored by Google.
4346 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4348 This work was sponsored by Google.
4351 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4352 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4354 This work was sponsored by Google.
4357 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4358 and URI types are currently supported.
4360 This work was sponsored by Google.
4363 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4364 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4365 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4366 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4367 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4368 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4369 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4370 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4372 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4373 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4374 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4376 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4377 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4378 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4379 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4381 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4382 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4383 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4384 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4385 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4386 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4387 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4388 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4390 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4392 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4393 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4394 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4396 This work was sponsored by Google.
4399 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4402 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4403 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4404 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4407 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4408 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4411 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4412 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4415 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4416 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4417 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4418 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4419 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4420 content types and variants.
4423 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4426 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4427 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4428 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4429 files from the associated perl scripts.
4432 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4433 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4434 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4436 *) s390x assembler pack.
4439 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4443 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4444 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4445 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4446 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4447 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4448 to use. For example, specify an option
4450 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4452 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4453 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4454 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4455 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4456 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4457 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4459 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4460 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4461 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4462 return non-zero for success.
4464 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4467 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4468 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4472 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4475 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4476 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4477 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4478 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4479 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4480 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4481 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4482 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4483 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4485 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4486 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4487 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4488 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4489 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4490 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4492 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4493 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4494 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4495 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4496 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4497 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4501 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4504 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4506 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4507 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4508 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4511 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4512 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4515 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4516 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4517 with no application modification.
4519 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4520 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4522 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4523 or server extensions to be examined.
4525 This work was sponsored by Google.
4528 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4529 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4530 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4532 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4533 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4534 ciphersuite support.
4535 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4537 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4538 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4539 to output in BER and PEM format.
4542 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4543 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4544 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4545 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4546 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4549 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4550 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4551 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4555 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4556 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4557 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4558 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4559 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4560 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4561 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4562 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4565 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4566 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4567 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4568 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4570 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4571 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4572 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4576 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4577 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4578 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4579 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4580 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4581 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4582 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4583 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4584 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4586 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4587 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4588 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4589 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4590 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4591 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4592 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4593 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4594 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4595 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4596 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4599 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4600 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4601 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4603 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4604 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4608 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4609 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4610 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4613 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4614 it yet and it is largely untested.
4617 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4620 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4621 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4622 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4625 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4628 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4629 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4630 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4631 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4634 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4635 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4636 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4637 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4638 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4641 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4642 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4645 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4646 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4647 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4648 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4651 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4652 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4653 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4654 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4657 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4658 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4661 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4662 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4663 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4664 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4667 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4668 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4669 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4672 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4676 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4677 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4680 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4681 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4682 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4686 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4687 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4688 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4691 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4692 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4693 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4694 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4697 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4698 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4699 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4700 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4701 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4702 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4705 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4706 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4707 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4708 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4709 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4711 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4712 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4713 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4714 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4715 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4718 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4719 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4720 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4721 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4723 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4724 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4725 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4726 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4727 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4733 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4734 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4738 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4739 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4742 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4743 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4746 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4747 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4748 functional reference processing.
4751 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4752 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4756 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4757 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4758 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4761 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4762 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4763 application to support multiple signers.
4766 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4770 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4771 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4772 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4773 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4774 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4777 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4781 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4782 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4783 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4784 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4788 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4789 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4790 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4791 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4792 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4793 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4794 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4795 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4798 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4799 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4800 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4801 between digests and public key types.
4804 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4805 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4806 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4807 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4810 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4811 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4815 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4818 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4822 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4823 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4824 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4825 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4830 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4832 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4834 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4836 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4837 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4838 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4839 functionality for RSA.
4842 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4843 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4844 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4847 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4848 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4851 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4852 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4853 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4856 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4857 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4860 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4861 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4864 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4865 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4869 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4870 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4871 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4875 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4876 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4877 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4878 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4879 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4880 of public and private key structures.
4883 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4884 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4887 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4888 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4889 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4892 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4896 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4897 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4898 SSL_get_psk_identity
4899 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4901 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4903 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4904 and response verification functionality.
4905 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4907 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4908 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4909 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4910 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4911 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4912 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4913 server_name extension.
4915 New functions (subject to change):
4917 SSL_get_servername()
4918 SSL_get_servername_type()
4921 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4923 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4924 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4925 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4926 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4927 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4929 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4931 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4932 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4933 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4934 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4935 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4936 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4939 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4941 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4944 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4945 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4946 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4947 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4948 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4951 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4952 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4956 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4957 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4958 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4959 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4962 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4963 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4964 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4965 using the maximum available value.
4968 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4969 in addition to the text details.
4972 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4973 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4974 handle several customised structures at all.
4977 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4978 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4979 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4982 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4985 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4986 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4987 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4990 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4991 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4992 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4995 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4996 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5000 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5003 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5006 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5008 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5009 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5010 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5011 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5012 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5013 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5014 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5015 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5017 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5018 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5019 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5021 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5023 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5024 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5026 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5027 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5030 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5031 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5032 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5035 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5036 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5037 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5038 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5039 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5040 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5043 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5044 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5045 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5048 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5049 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5050 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5051 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5052 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5053 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5057 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5058 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5061 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5062 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5063 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5066 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5069 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5070 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5071 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5072 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5073 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5074 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5075 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5076 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5077 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5080 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5081 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5082 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5085 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5086 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5089 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5090 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5091 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5092 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5093 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5094 know what you are doing.
5095 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5097 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5098 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5099 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5100 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5101 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5102 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5106 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5107 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5108 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5110 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5112 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5113 warnings in other configurations.
5116 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5117 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5118 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5120 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5122 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5123 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5124 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5126 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5127 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5128 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5129 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5132 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5136 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5137 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5139 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5141 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5142 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5143 other than a simple chain.
5144 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5146 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5147 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5148 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5149 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5152 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5153 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5154 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5155 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5156 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5157 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5158 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5159 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5160 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5162 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5163 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5164 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5165 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5166 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5167 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5169 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5171 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5172 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5175 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5176 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5179 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5181 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5183 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5184 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5185 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5186 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5187 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5191 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5193 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5194 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5195 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5196 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5198 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5199 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5200 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5201 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5203 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5204 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5205 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5208 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5209 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5213 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5214 to handle some structures.
5217 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5219 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5221 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5224 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5227 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5230 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5231 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5235 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5237 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5239 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5241 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5244 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5245 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5246 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5247 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5249 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5250 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5252 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5253 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5256 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5257 s_client and s_server.
5260 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5261 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5263 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5264 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5266 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5267 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5268 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5269 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5270 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5273 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5275 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5276 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5279 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5280 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5283 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5284 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5285 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5286 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5288 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5289 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5291 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5293 *) Various precautionary measures:
5295 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5297 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5298 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5299 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5301 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5302 outside the expected range.
5304 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5307 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5309 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5310 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5311 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5313 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5316 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5319 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5321 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5324 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5325 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5326 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5328 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5331 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5332 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5333 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5337 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5339 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5340 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5341 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5342 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5344 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5345 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5348 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5350 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5351 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5352 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5354 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5356 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5357 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5358 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5359 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5362 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5363 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5364 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5365 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5366 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5367 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5368 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5370 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5372 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5373 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5374 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5375 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5376 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5378 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5379 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5381 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5382 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5383 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5384 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5385 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5387 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5389 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5390 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5391 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5392 sets may exist with different names.
5395 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5396 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5397 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5398 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5399 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5400 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5401 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5402 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5403 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5405 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5407 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5408 implementation in the following ways:
5410 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5413 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5414 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5415 ignored for embedded content.
5417 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5418 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5421 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5422 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5423 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5424 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5426 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5427 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5430 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5431 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5434 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5435 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5436 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5437 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5438 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5439 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5443 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5444 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5445 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5449 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5450 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5451 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5452 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5453 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5454 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5455 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5456 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5458 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5459 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5460 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5461 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5462 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5463 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5464 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5466 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5467 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5468 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5469 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5470 to s_client and s_server.
5473 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5475 *) Fix various bugs:
5476 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5477 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5478 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5479 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5480 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5482 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5484 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5485 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5486 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5487 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5488 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5489 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5490 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5491 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5494 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5495 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5496 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5499 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5500 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5501 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5504 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5505 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5508 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5509 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5510 with no application modification.
5512 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5513 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5515 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5516 or server extensions to be examined.
5518 This work was sponsored by Google.
5521 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5522 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5523 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5524 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5525 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5526 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5527 server_name extension.
5529 New functions (subject to change):
5531 SSL_get_servername()
5532 SSL_get_servername_type()
5535 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5537 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5538 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5539 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5540 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5541 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5543 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5545 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5546 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5547 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5548 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5549 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5550 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5553 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5555 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5558 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5561 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5562 (which previously caused an internal error).
5565 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5568 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5569 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5571 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5572 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5573 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5575 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5576 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5577 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5578 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5580 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5581 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5582 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5583 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5585 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5586 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5587 information. For detailed background information, see
5588 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5589 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5590 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5591 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5592 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5593 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5594 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5595 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5596 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5597 remove a conditional branch.
5599 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5600 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5601 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5602 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5603 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5604 remains as a deprecated alias.
5606 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5607 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5608 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5609 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5611 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5612 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5613 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5614 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5615 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5616 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5617 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5618 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5620 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5622 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5623 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5624 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5625 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5626 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5627 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5628 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5629 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5630 in a different context.
5633 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5634 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5635 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5638 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5639 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5640 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5642 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5644 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5645 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5646 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5647 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5648 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5651 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5652 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5653 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5654 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5655 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5656 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5659 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5660 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5661 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5662 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5663 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5666 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5667 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5669 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5670 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5671 Improve header file function name parsing.
5674 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5675 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5678 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5680 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5681 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5682 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5684 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5685 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5687 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5688 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5690 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5691 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5692 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5694 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5695 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5696 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5697 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5698 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5699 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5700 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5701 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5702 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5704 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5705 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5706 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5707 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5708 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5710 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5711 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5712 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5713 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5714 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5715 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5716 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5717 multiple values to extend the available space.
5721 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5723 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5724 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5726 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5729 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5730 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5731 undesirable limitations.
5732 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5734 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5735 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5736 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5737 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5738 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5739 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5740 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5743 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5745 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5746 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5747 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5749 The latter two were purportedly from
5750 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5753 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5754 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5755 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5758 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5759 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5762 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5763 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5764 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5765 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5767 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5768 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5769 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5772 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5773 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5774 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5775 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5776 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5777 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5780 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5782 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5783 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5786 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5787 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5789 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5790 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5791 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5792 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5795 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5796 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5799 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5800 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5801 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5802 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5803 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5804 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5805 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5809 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5810 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5811 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5812 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5815 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5816 under VC++ build system.
5819 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5820 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5823 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5825 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5826 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5827 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5828 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5829 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5831 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5832 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5833 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5835 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5838 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5839 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5842 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5843 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5845 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5848 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5849 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5851 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5852 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5855 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5856 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5860 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5862 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5865 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5868 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5869 key into the same file any more.
5872 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5875 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5876 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5878 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5879 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5882 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5883 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5884 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5885 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5886 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5887 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5889 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5890 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5891 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5894 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5895 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5896 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5897 - add new function for parameter creation
5898 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5899 BN_BLINDING parameters
5900 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5901 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5902 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5906 *) Add support for DTLS.
5907 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5909 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5910 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5913 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5914 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5917 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5918 the apps/openssl applications.
5921 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5922 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5923 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5926 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5927 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5929 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5930 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5932 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5933 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5934 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5935 avoid this algorithm.)
5939 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5940 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5941 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5944 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5945 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5948 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5949 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5950 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5953 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5955 The blank line is mandatory.
5959 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5960 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5964 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5965 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5967 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5968 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5969 to support policy checking and print out.
5972 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5973 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5974 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5975 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5977 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5980 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5981 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5983 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5984 implementation contributed by IBM.
5985 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5987 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5988 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5989 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5990 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5992 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5993 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5995 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5996 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5997 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5998 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5999 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6000 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6003 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6004 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6005 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6006 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6007 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6008 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6009 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6012 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6015 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6016 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6017 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6018 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6019 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6020 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6021 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6022 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6025 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6026 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6027 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6028 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6031 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6034 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6037 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6038 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6039 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6040 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6041 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6042 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6043 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6046 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6047 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6050 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6051 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6052 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6055 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6056 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6057 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6061 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6062 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6065 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6066 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6067 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6068 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6071 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6072 initialised value as BN_new().
6073 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6075 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6078 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6079 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6080 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6081 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6082 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6083 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6084 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6085 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6086 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6087 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6088 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6089 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6090 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6091 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6092 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6094 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6095 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6096 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6097 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6100 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6101 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6102 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6103 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6104 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6105 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6106 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6107 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6108 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6111 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6112 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6113 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6114 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6115 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6116 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6117 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6120 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6121 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6122 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6123 these have been updated also.
6126 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6127 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6128 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6129 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6130 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6134 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6135 structure of type "other".
6138 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6139 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6140 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6141 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6142 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6143 situation in the script.
6144 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6146 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6147 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6148 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6149 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6150 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6151 used as premaster secret.
6152 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6154 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6155 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6156 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6158 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6159 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6161 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6162 control of the error stack.
6165 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6168 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6169 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6170 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6171 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6174 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6175 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6176 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6179 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6180 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6181 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6185 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6186 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6187 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6188 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6191 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6192 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6193 the following flags are defined:
6195 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6196 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6197 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6200 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6201 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6202 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6203 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6207 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6208 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6209 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6210 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6211 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6214 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6215 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6216 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6219 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6220 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6221 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6222 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6223 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6224 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6227 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6231 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6234 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6237 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6240 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6241 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6242 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6243 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6244 default implementation more easily.
6247 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6251 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6252 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6255 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6256 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6257 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6258 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6260 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6261 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6262 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6263 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6266 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6267 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6271 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6272 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6273 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6274 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6275 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6276 scalar * generator).
6277 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6279 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6280 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6281 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6285 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6286 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6287 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6288 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6289 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6290 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6291 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6292 linker additions, eg;
6293 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6296 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6297 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6298 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6301 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6302 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6303 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6307 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6308 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6309 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6310 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6313 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6314 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6315 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6316 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6317 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6318 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6319 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6320 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6321 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6322 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6324 Example for using the new callback interface:
6326 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6330 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6332 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6333 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6334 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6335 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6336 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6337 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6342 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6343 available to TLS with the number defined in
6344 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6347 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6348 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6350 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6351 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6352 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6353 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6355 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6356 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6358 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6359 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6363 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6364 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6367 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6368 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6369 and a macro that behave like
6370 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6372 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6375 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6376 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6377 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6379 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6381 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6384 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6385 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6386 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6387 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6389 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6390 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6391 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6392 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6393 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6394 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6395 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6396 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6398 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6399 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6402 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6403 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6405 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6406 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6407 files while avoiding the low level API.
6409 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6410 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6411 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6412 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6414 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6415 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6416 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6417 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6418 instead of the low level API.
6421 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6422 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6423 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6424 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6425 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6428 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6429 down to the template encoder.
6432 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6433 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6436 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6437 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6438 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6439 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6441 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6442 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6444 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6445 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6447 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6448 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6451 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6452 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6453 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6456 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6457 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6459 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6460 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6462 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6463 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6466 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6470 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6471 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6472 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6473 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6474 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6475 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6477 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6478 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6481 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6482 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6483 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6484 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6485 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6486 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6487 various internal method names.)
6489 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6490 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6492 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6493 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6495 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6496 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6498 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6499 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6500 methods are undefined.
6502 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6503 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6505 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6506 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6507 length of the modulus.
6509 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6510 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6512 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6513 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6515 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6516 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6518 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6519 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6520 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6523 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6524 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6525 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6526 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6528 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6529 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6530 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6531 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6533 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6534 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6536 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6537 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6538 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6539 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6540 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6542 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6543 This applies to the following functions:
6548 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6549 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6551 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6552 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6556 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6561 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6563 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6564 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6565 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6566 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6567 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6569 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6570 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6572 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6573 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6574 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6576 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6577 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6579 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6580 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6581 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6582 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6583 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6585 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6587 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6588 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6589 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6590 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6591 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6592 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6593 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6594 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6595 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6596 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6597 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6598 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6600 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6603 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6604 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6605 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6606 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6608 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6609 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6610 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6611 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6616 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6617 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6618 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6619 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6620 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6622 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6623 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6624 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6625 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6626 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6627 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6628 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6629 adding different types of curves.
6630 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6632 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6633 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6634 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6637 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6638 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6640 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6641 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6642 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6643 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6645 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6647 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6648 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6650 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6651 library. Most notably,
6652 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6653 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6654 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6655 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6656 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6657 extracted before the specific public key;
6658 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6659 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6661 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6662 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6664 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6665 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6666 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6667 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6669 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6670 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6671 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6673 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6674 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6675 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6676 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6677 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6678 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6682 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6684 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6686 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6688 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6689 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6690 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6693 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6694 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6695 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6698 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6701 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6702 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6705 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6706 run algorithm test programs.
6709 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6712 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6713 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6714 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6715 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6716 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6719 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6720 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6723 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6725 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6726 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6727 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6729 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6730 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6732 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6733 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6735 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6736 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6737 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6739 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6740 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6741 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6742 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6743 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6744 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6745 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6748 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6750 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6751 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6753 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6754 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6755 undesirable limitations.
6756 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6758 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6760 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6761 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6762 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6764 The latter two were purportedly from
6765 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6768 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6769 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6770 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6773 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6774 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6777 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6779 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6780 module in FIPS mode.
6783 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6786 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6787 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6788 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6789 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6792 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6794 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6795 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6796 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6797 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6798 the difference induced by this change.
6801 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6803 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6804 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6805 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6806 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6807 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6809 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6810 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6811 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6813 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6814 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6817 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6818 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6819 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6820 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6824 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6825 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6826 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6827 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6828 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6830 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6831 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6832 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6833 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6834 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6835 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6837 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6839 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6840 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6841 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6842 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6843 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6846 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6850 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6851 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6852 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6855 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6856 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6857 structures constant.
6860 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6862 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6865 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6866 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6867 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6868 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6869 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6870 some needed definitions.
6873 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6876 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6877 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6878 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6879 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6882 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6884 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6885 server and client random values. Previously
6886 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6887 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6889 This change has negligible security impact because:
6891 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6894 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6897 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6898 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6901 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6904 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6906 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6909 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6910 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6911 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6913 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6916 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6917 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6920 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6921 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6922 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6924 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6927 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6928 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6929 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6933 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6934 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6935 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6936 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6938 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6939 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6940 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6941 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6945 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6947 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6948 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6949 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6950 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6951 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6954 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6957 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6958 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6960 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6961 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6962 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6963 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6964 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6965 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6966 rather than being initialized to 1.
6969 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6971 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6972 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6973 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6975 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6977 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6979 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6980 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6981 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6982 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6983 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6984 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6987 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6988 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6989 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6990 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6991 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6995 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6996 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6997 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6998 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6999 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7002 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7003 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7004 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7008 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7009 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7011 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7014 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7016 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7018 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7019 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7021 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7023 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7024 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7028 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7029 exiting on the first error in a request.
7032 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7033 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7037 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7038 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7039 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7040 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7042 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7043 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7046 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7047 blocks during encryption.
7050 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7051 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7052 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7053 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7057 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7058 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7059 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7060 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7061 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7065 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7067 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7068 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7069 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7070 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7073 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7074 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7075 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7076 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7077 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7079 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7080 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7081 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7082 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7083 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7084 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7085 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7086 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7087 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7090 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7091 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7092 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7093 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7096 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7097 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7100 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7102 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7103 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7104 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7105 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7106 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7108 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7109 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7110 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7112 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7113 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7114 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7115 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7116 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7118 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7119 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7120 used by default when no-err is given.
7123 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7124 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7126 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7127 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7128 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7129 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7130 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7132 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7133 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7134 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7135 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7137 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7139 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7141 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7143 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7144 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7145 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7146 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7150 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7151 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7153 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7154 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7157 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7158 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7159 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7160 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7163 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7164 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7165 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7166 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7167 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7168 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7169 followup to PR #377.
7172 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7173 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7176 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7177 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7178 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

7183 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7186 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7187 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7188 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7189 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between

7196 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7200 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7201 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7202 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7203 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7204 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7205 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7207 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7208 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7209 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7210 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7211 have to be made anyway).
7214 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7215 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7216 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7219 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7220 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7221 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7224 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7225 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7226 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

7229 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7230 edit numbers of the version.

7265 representations in a platform independent manner.

7344 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7345 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7346 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7347 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7349 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7350 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7351 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7354 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7355 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7356 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7357 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7358 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7359 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7360 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7361 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7364 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7365 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7366 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7369 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7370 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7371 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7372 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7373 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7375 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7376 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7378 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7379 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7382 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7383 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7384 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7385 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7386 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7387 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7390 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7391 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7392 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7395 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7396 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7399 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7400 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7401 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7402 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7403 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7404 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7405 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7408 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7409 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7410 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7411 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7412 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7413 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7416 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7417 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7418 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7419 declaration has been changed from
7422 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7423 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7424 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7425 has been changed into
7426 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7428 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7429 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7430 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7432 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7433 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7435 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7436 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7437 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7438 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7439 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7440 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7441 always load it have also been added.
7444 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7445 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7446 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7448 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7450 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7451 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7452 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7454 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7455 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7456 command line option can be used to specify an
7460 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7461 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7464 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7465 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7466 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7469 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7470 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7471 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7472 to work with the new engine framework.
7473 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7475 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7476 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7477 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7478 to work with the new engine framework.
7481 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7482 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7483 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7485 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7486 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7488 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7489 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7490 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7491 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7493 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7495 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7496 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7498 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7499 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7501 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7502 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7503 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7506 *) Add new functions
7508 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7509 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7510 These are similar to
7513 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7514 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7515 still in the error queue.
7516 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7518 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7520 default_algorithms = ALL
7521 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7524 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7527 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7530 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7531 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7532 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7533 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7535 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7536 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7538 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7539 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7541 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7542 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7545 *) New functions/macros
7547 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7548 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7549 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7550 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7552 to request calling a callback function
7554 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7555 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7557 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7558 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7559 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7560 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7561 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7562 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7563 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7564 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7565 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7566 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7568 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7569 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7572 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7573 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7574 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7575 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7576 the configuration scripts.
7578 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7579 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7580 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7582 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7583 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7585 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7586 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7587 when reusing an existing buffer.
7590 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7591 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7594 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7595 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7598 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7599 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7600 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7601 has the same effect.
7602 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7604 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7605 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7606 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7607 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7608 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7609 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7612 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7613 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7614 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7615 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7617 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7618 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7619 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7620 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7622 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7623 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7626 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7627 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7628 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7629 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7630 default), and then completely removed.
7633 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7634 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7635 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7636 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7637 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7638 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7639 particular extension is supported.
7642 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7643 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7646 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7647 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7648 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7649 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7650 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7651 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7652 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7653 requires the destination to be valid.
7655 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7656 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7659 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7660 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7661 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7664 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7665 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7667 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7668 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7669 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7670 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7671 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7672 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7673 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7674 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7675 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7676 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7677 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7678 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7679 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7680 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7681 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7682 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7683 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7684 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7685 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7689 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7692 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7693 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7694 become part of libeay.num as well.
7697 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7698 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7699 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7700 false once a handshake has been completed.
7701 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7702 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7703 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7704 client has followed the request.)
7707 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7708 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7709 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7710 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7712 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7713 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7714 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7717 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7720 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7721 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7722 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7725 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7726 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7729 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7730 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7731 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7732 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7735 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7736 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7737 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7738 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7739 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7740 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7743 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7744 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7745 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7746 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7747 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7748 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7749 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7750 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7753 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7754 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7757 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7760 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7761 md_data void pointer.
7764 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7765 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7766 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7767 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7768 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7769 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7772 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7773 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7774 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7775 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7776 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7777 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7778 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7779 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7780 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7781 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7782 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7783 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7784 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7785 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7786 rather than letting it slide.
7788 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7789 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7790 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7793 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7794 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7795 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7796 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7797 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7798 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7799 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7800 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7801 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7804 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7805 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7806 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7807 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7808 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7810 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7813 *) Add EVP test program.
7816 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7819 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7820 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7821 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7822 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7823 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7826 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7827 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7828 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7829 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7830 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7831 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7832 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7834 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7835 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7836 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7841 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7842 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7843 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7844 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7845 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7849 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7850 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7851 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7852 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7855 des_key_schedule ks;
7857 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7858 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7860 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7863 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7864 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7865 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7866 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7867 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7868 functions prevents this.
7871 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7874 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7875 correct _ecb suffix.
7878 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7879 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7880 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7881 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7882 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7885 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7888 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7889 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7890 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7891 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7893 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7894 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7896 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

7901 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7902 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7903 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7904 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7907 *) Speed up EVP routines.

7925 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7926 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7928 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7929 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7930 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7931 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7932 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7933 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7936 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7937 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7940 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7941 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7942 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7943 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7945 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7946 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7947 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7948 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7949 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7950 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7954 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7955 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7956 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7957 and interrupts/cancellations.
7960 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7961 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7964 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7965 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7966 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7968 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7969 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7973 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7974 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7975 than this minimum value is recommended.
7978 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7979 that are easily reachable.
7982 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7983 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7985 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7987 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7988 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7989 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7990 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7993 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7994 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7995 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7998 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7999 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8000 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8001 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8002 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8003 internally such as S/MIME.
8005 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8006 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8007 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8009 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8013 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8014 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8015 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8016 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8018 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8020 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8022 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8023 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8024 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8028 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8029 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8030 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8031 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8032 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8033 a window system and the like.
8036 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8037 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8040 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8041 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8042 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8043 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8044 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8045 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8046 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8047 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8048 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8052 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8053 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8057 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8058 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8059 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8060 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8061 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8062 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8063 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8064 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8067 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8068 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8069 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8070 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8071 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8072 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8073 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8074 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8075 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8076 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8077 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8078 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8079 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8080 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8081 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8082 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8083 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8086 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8087 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8088 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8089 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8090 internal engine_int.h header.
8093 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8094 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8095 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8096 modify their own ones).
8099 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8100 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8101 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8102 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8103 later on via ctrl() commands.
8104 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8105 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8106 structural references.
8107 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8108 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8109 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8110 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8111 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8112 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8113 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8114 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8115 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8116 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8117 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8118 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8121 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8122 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8123 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8124 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8125 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8126 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8127 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8128 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8131 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8132 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8135 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8136 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8139 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8140 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8141 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8142 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8143 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8144 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8145 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8148 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8149 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8150 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8151 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8152 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8154 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8155 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8159 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8161 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8162 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8163 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8165 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8166 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8168 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8169 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8170 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8172 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8173 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8175 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8176 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8178 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8180 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8181 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8182 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8185 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8186 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8189 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8190 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8191 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8192 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8193 is 40 of more characters long.
8196 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8197 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8201 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8202 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8205 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8206 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8210 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8212 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8213 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8216 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8218 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8219 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8220 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8222 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8223 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8225 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8228 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8232 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8233 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8234 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8235 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8237 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8239 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8240 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8242 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8243 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8244 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8245 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8246 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8247 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8249 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8250 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8252 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8253 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8255 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8256 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8258 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8259 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8260 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8261 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8263 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8264 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8266 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8267 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8269 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8270 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8271 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8272 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8273 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8276 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8277 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8278 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8279 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8282 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8283 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8284 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8288 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8289 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8290 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8291 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8292 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8293 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8294 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8295 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8299 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8300 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8303 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8304 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8305 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8306 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8309 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8310 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8311 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8312 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8313 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8314 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8315 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8316 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8317 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8318 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8321 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8322 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8323 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8324 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8325 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8326 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8327 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8328 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8330 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8331 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8332 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8333 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8336 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8337 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8338 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8339 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8341 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8342 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8343 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8344 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8345 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8349 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8350 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8351 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8352 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8356 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8357 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8358 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8361 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8362 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8363 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8364 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8365 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8368 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8371 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8372 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8373 option to ocsp utility.
8376 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8377 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8378 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8379 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8380 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8381 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8382 the request is nonce-less.
8385 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8386 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8387 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8390 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8391 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8392 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8395 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8396 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8397 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8398 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8399 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8402 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8403 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8407 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8408 additional certificates supplied.
8411 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8412 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8416 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8417 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8420 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8421 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8422 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8423 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8424 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8425 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8426 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8427 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8428 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8430 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8431 request to response.
8434 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8435 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8436 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8437 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8438 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8439 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8440 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8441 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8442 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8443 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8444 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8447 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8448 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8449 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8450 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8453 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8454 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8456 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8457 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8458 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8461 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8462 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8463 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8464 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8465 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8467 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8468 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8469 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8472 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8473 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8474 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8475 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8476 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8477 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8478 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8479 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8481 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8482 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8483 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8484 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8485 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8486 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8489 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8490 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8491 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8492 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8493 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8494 printout format cleaned up.
8497 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8498 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8499 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8500 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8501 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8502 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8503 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8504 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8507 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8508 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8509 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8510 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8511 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8512 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8513 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8514 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8517 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8518 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8519 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8520 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8522 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8524 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8525 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8526 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8527 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8530 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8531 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8532 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8533 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8535 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8537 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8538 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8539 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8540 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8542 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8543 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8545 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8546 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8547 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8550 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8551 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8552 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8555 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8556 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8557 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8558 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8559 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8560 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8561 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8562 functions are provided:
8564 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8565 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8566 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8567 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8569 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8570 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8571 extended allocation function is enabled.
8572 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8573 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8574 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8576 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8577 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8578 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8579 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8580 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8583 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8584 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8585 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8587 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8588 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8589 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8592 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8593 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8594 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8595 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8596 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8597 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8598 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8599 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8600 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8603 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8604 provide utility functions which an application needing
8605 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8606 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8607 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8609 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8610 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8611 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8612 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8613 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8614 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8615 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8616 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8617 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8619 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8620 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8621 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8622 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8625 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8626 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8627 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8628 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8629 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8630 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8631 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8632 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8633 will be added elsewhere.
8636 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8637 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8638 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8639 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8642 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8643 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8644 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8645 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8646 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8647 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8648 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8649 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8650 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8651 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8652 to produce the required SET OF.
8655 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8656 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8657 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8660 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8661 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8662 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8663 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8664 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8665 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8668 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8669 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8670 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8673 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8674 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8675 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8678 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8679 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8680 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8681 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8682 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8685 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8686 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8689 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8690 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8691 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8692 certificates and CRLs.
8695 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8696 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8697 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8700 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8701 entries for variables.
8704 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8705 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8706 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8707 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8710 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8711 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8712 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8713 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8714 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8715 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8718 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8719 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8721 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8722 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8723 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8726 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8730 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8731 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8732 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8733 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8734 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8735 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8738 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8741 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8742 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8743 for now but they will eventually go away.
8746 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8747 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8748 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8749 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8750 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8751 has also been converted to the new form.
8754 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8755 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8756 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8757 for negative moduli.
8760 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8761 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8764 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8768 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8769 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8770 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8771 type-specific callbacks.
8774 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8776 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8777 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8779 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8780 in sections depending on the subject.
8783 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8787 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8788 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8789 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8790 be handled deterministically).
8791 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8793 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8794 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8795 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8798 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8801 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8802 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8803 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8804 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8805 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8808 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8809 sign of the number in question.
8811 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8813 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8814 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8815 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8816 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8817 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8820 *) New function BN_swap.
8823 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8824 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8825 results on negative inputs.
8828 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8829 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8830 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8833 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8834 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8835 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8836 and add new functions:
8845 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8849 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8851 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8852 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8854 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8855 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8856 be reduced modulo m.
8857 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8860 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8861 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8862 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8864 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8865 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8866 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8867 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8868 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8869 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8874 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8875 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8876 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8877 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8878 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8880 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8881 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8882 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8886 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8889 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8890 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8893 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8894 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8895 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8896 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8900 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8903 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8906 *) Add the following functions:
8908 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8910 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8912 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8914 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8915 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8916 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8917 libraries unless it's really needed.
8919 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8920 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8921 declarations (they differed!).
8924 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8927 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8930 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8933 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8934 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8937 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8938 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8939 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8941 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8942 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8945 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8948 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8951 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8954 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8955 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8956 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8958 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8959 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8960 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8961 different shared library filenames on each system.
8964 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8967 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8968 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8969 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8971 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8974 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8975 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8976 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8977 binary backward compatibility.
8978 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8979 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8980 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8984 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8985 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8986 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8987 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8991 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8994 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8995 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8996 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8997 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9001 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9004 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9006 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9007 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9008 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9010 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9012 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9014 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9015 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9018 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9020 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9022 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9023 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9025 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9026 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9030 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9031 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9035 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9036 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9037 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9038 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9040 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9041 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9044 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9046 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9047 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9048 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9049 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9052 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9053 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9054 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9055 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9056 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9058 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9059 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9060 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9061 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9062 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9063 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9064 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9065 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9066 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9069 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9071 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9072 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9073 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9074 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9075 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9077 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9078 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9079 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9081 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9083 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9084 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9085 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9086 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9087 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9088 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9091 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9092 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9093 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9094 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9095 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9098 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9099 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9100 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9102 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9103 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9104 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9108 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9109 being properly terminated.
9112 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9113 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9114 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9115 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9117 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9118 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9119 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9120 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9121 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9122 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9123 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9125 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9127 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9128 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9131 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9132 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9133 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9134 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9135 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9136 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9137 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9138 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9140 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9141 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9142 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9143 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9144 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9146 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9147 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9150 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9152 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9153 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9154 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9156 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9158 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9159 and get fix the header length calculation.
9160 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9161 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9164 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9165 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9166 assertions could call abort()).
9167 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9169 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9171 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9172 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9173 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9175 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9177 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9178 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9179 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9182 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9186 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9187 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9188 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9190 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9191 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9192 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9193 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9194 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9198 *) Changes in security patch:
9200 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9201 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9202 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9205 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9206 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9207 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9208 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9209 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9211 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9215 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9216 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9217 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9219 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9220 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9223 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9224 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9225 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9227 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9229 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9230 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9231 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9233 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9234 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9236 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9237 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9238 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9239 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9240 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9241 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9244 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9245 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9246 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9247 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9250 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9253 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9254 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9255 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9256 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9257 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9258 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9260 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9261 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9262 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9263 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9264 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9267 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9268 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9269 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9270 BN_generate_prime().)
9272 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9273 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9274 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9278 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9279 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9282 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9283 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9284 when using non-blocking I/O.
9285 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9287 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9288 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9290 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9291 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9294 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9295 configuration for the versions before that.
9296 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9298 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9299 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9300 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9301 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9304 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9305 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9306 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9309 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9313 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9314 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9315 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9317 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9318 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9320 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9321 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9322 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9323 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9324 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9325 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9326 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9329 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9330 using a local variable.
9331 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9333 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9334 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9335 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9337 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9340 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9341 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9343 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9344 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9345 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9347 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9349 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9350 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9351 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9352 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9355 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9359 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9360 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9361 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9362 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9363 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9365 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9366 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9367 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9369 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9370 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9371 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9373 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9374 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9375 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9376 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9378 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9379 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9380 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9382 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9384 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9385 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9387 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9389 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9390 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9391 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9392 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9394 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9395 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9396 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9397 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9399 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9400 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9402 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9403 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9404 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9407 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9408 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9409 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9411 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9413 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9414 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9415 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9416 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9417 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9418 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9419 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9422 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9423 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9424 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9425 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9427 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9428 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9429 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9430 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9431 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9432 the client will at least see that alert.
9435 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9439 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9440 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9441 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9443 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9444 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9445 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9446 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9449 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9450 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9451 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9453 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9454 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9455 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9456 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9457 may leak via logfiles.)
9459 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9460 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9461 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9462 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9466 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9467 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9470 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9471 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9472 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9473 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9474 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9477 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9478 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9480 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9481 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9482 followed by modular reduction.
9483 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9485 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9486 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9489 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9490 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9491 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9492 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9495 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9498 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9499 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9502 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9503 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9504 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9505 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9506 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9507 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9509 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9511 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9512 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9513 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9514 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9515 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9517 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9520 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9521 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9522 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9523 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9524 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9525 to allow the necessary settings.
9528 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9529 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9530 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9531 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9534 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9535 dh->length and always used
9537 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9539 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9540 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9541 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9542 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9543 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9548 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9550 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9556 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9557 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9558 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9559 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9561 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9562 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9563 always reject numbers >= n.
9566 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9567 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9568 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9569 variable) is not atomic.
9572 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9573 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9574 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9575 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9577 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9578 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9580 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9582 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9584 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9587 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9589 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9590 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9591 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9592 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9593 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9594 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9595 to traverse all of 'state'.
9597 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9598 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9599 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9601 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9602 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9604 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9605 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9606 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9607 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9608 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9609 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9610 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9611 further strengthens the PRNG.
9614 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9617 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9618 an error message in this case.
9621 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9624 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9625 positive and less than q.
9628 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9629 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9631 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9633 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9634 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9638 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9640 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9641 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9642 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9643 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9644 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9645 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9646 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9649 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9650 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9651 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9652 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9654 Both problems are now fixed.
9657 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9658 (previously it was 1024).
9661 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9662 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9665 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9668 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9669 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9670 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9673 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9674 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9675 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9676 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9677 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9678 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9679 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9680 environment variables.
9682 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9683 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9684 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9687 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9688 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9689 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9690 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9691 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9692 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9695 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9699 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9701 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9702 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9704 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9705 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9706 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9707 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9711 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9712 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9713 amount of data available.
9714 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9715 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9717 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9718 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9719 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9720 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9723 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9724 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9728 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9729 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9730 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9731 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9734 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9737 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9740 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9741 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9743 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9745 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9746 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9747 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9748 (but broken) behaviour.
9751 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9753 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9755 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9756 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9759 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9763 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9764 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9766 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9769 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9770 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9771 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9773 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9774 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9775 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9778 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9779 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9782 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9783 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9785 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9787 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9789 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9790 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9791 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9792 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9795 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9798 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9799 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9800 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9802 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9805 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9807 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9808 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9809 but the code is actually correct.
9812 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9813 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9814 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9815 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9816 and leaves the highest bit random.
9817 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9819 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9820 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9821 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9822 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9823 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9824 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9825 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9828 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9831 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9832 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9835 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9836 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9837 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9838 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9842 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9843 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9844 and break the signature.
9846 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9848 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9852 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9853 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9854 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9855 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9856 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9859 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9860 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9862 *) ./config script fixes.
9863 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9865 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9868 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9869 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9870 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9871 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9872 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9874 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9875 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9878 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9879 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9882 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9883 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9884 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9885 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9887 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9888 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9890 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9891 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9892 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9893 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9894 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9896 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9899 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9902 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9905 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9908 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9909 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9912 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9913 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9914 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9915 result of the server certificate verification.)
9918 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9919 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9920 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9924 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9925 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9926 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9927 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9928 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9929 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9930 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9931 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9934 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9935 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9936 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9937 happening the other way round.
9940 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9941 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9944 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9945 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9946 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9947 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9950 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9951 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9953 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9955 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9956 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9957 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9960 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9962 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9964 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9968 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9970 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9971 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9972 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9973 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9974 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9976 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9977 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9981 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9984 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9986 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9987 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9988 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9989 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9990 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9991 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9992 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9993 by the Finished messages.
9996 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9997 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9999 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10000 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10001 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10002 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10003 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10007 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10008 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10009 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10010 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10011 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10012 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10013 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10014 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10015 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10019 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10020 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10021 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10022 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10024 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10025 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10026 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10027 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10028 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10031 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10032 been tested well enough.
10035 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10036 it can return incorrect results.
10037 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10038 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10041 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10042 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10043 include zero length content when signing messages.
10046 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10047 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10050 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10053 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10057 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10058 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10059 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10060 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10061 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10062 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10065 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10066 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10068 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10069 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10071 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10072 random number < q in the DSA library.
10075 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10076 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10077 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10078 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10079 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10080 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10081 just makes things more complicated.)
10084 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10088 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10089 work better on such systems.
10090 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10092 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10093 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10094 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10097 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10098 if there was more than one signature.
10099 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10101 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10102 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10103 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10104 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10107 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10108 rather than always using the current time.
10111 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10112 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10113 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10114 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10115 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10116 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10118 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10119 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10121 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10123 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10124 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10125 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10126 the same hash value.
10128 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10129 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10130 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10131 with X509_STORE internally.
10133 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10134 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10136 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10137 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10138 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10139 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10140 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10141 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10142 entirely (maybe later...).
10144 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10146 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10147 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10148 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10149 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10150 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10151 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10152 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10153 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10155 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10156 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10158 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10159 to customise the verify behaviour.
10162 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10163 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10166 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10167 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10168 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10169 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10170 request is improperly encoded.
10173 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10174 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10177 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10178 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10180 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10181 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10182 words set to zero.)
10185 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10186 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10187 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10190 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10191 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10192 BIO/fp routines also added.
10195 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10196 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10198 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10199 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10200 demos/state_machine.
10203 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10204 generation and verification.
10207 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10208 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10209 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10210 encode and decode it manually.
10213 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10214 compile under VC++.
10215 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10217 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10218 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10219 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10220 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10222 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10223 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10224 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10225 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10226 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10229 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10232 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10233 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10234 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10236 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10237 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10238 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10239 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10240 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10241 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10242 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10243 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10245 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10246 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10248 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10250 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10251 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10252 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10256 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10257 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10258 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10259 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10262 *) MD4 implemented.
10263 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10265 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10268 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10269 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10270 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10271 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10272 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10273 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10274 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10275 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10276 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10277 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10278 short or long names are found.
10281 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10282 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10284 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10285 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10286 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10287 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10289 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10290 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10291 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10292 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10295 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10296 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10297 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10300 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10301 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10302 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10303 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10304 to allow the various flags to be set.
10307 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10308 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10309 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10310 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10311 dates to be checked.
10314 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10315 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10316 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10319 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10320 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10321 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10324 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10325 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10328 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10329 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10330 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10331 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10332 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10333 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10336 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10337 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10341 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10345 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10346 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10347 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10348 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10349 form signing output easier to verify.
10352 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10355 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10356 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10357 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10358 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10359 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10360 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10361 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10362 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10363 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10364 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10367 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10369 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10370 the syntax given in objects.README.
10371 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10373 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10376 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10377 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10378 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10379 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10380 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10381 consistent name changes.
10384 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10387 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10388 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10389 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10390 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10393 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10394 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10395 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10399 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10400 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10401 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10402 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10405 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10406 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10407 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10408 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10409 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10410 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10411 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10412 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10413 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10414 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10415 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10418 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10419 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10420 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10421 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10422 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10423 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10424 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10425 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10426 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10427 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10430 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10431 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10432 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10433 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10435 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10436 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10437 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10438 omit any duplicate addresses.
10441 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10442 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10445 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10446 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10447 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10448 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10449 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10452 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10454 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10455 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10456 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10457 Free => OPENSSL_free
10460 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10461 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10464 *) CygWin32 support.
10465 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10467 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10468 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10469 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10470 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10471 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10475 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10476 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10477 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10478 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10479 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10480 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10481 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10484 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10485 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10486 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10487 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10488 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10489 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10490 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10491 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10492 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10493 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10494 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10497 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10498 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10499 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10500 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10501 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10503 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10504 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10505 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10506 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10507 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10509 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10512 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10513 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10514 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10515 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10517 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10519 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10522 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10523 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10524 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10527 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10528 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10529 any installed hardware versions can.
10532 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10533 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10534 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10538 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10539 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10540 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10541 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10542 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10544 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10545 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10548 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10549 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10552 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10553 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10554 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10558 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10561 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10562 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10563 but no ssl client purpose.
10564 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10566 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10567 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10568 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10569 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10570 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10571 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10572 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10573 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10574 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10575 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10576 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10579 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10580 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10581 be obtained from the error queue.
10584 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10585 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10586 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10587 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10590 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10593 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10594 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10595 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10596 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10597 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10600 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10601 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10602 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10603 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10604 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10607 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10608 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10609 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10611 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10613 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10614 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10615 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10616 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10617 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10618 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10619 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10620 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10621 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10622 or "the configuration storage API"...
10624 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10626 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10627 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10629 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10631 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10633 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10634 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10635 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10636 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10637 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10638 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10639 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10641 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10642 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10645 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10646 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10647 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10648 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10651 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10652 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10653 them in a portable way.
10654 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10656 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10658 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10660 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10661 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10663 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10664 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10665 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10666 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10668 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10669 was larger than the MD block size.
10670 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10672 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10673 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10674 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10675 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10679 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10680 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10681 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10683 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10685 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10687 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10688 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10689 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10690 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10691 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10692 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10694 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10695 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10697 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10698 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10701 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10704 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10705 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10707 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10708 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10709 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10710 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10713 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10714 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10715 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10716 does not suppress any output.
10719 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10720 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10721 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10722 with all the associated security issues.
10724 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10725 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10726 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10727 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10728 use the value in the default purpose.
10731 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10732 and fix a memory leak.
10735 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10736 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10737 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10738 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10741 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10742 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10743 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10744 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10747 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10748 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10749 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10752 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10753 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10756 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10757 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10761 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10762 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10765 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10766 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10767 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10770 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10771 number generation fails.
10774 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10777 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10778 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10780 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10783 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10784 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10786 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10787 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10789 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10791 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10792 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10795 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10796 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10798 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10799 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10802 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10803 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10804 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10805 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10806 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10807 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10809 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10810 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10811 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10815 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10816 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10817 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10818 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10819 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10820 counter, some don't.)
10821 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10822 counters or duplicate objects.
10825 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10826 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10829 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10830 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10831 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10833 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10834 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10835 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10839 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10840 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10843 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10844 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10845 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10849 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10850 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10851 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10854 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10855 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10856 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10857 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10858 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10859 should work without changes.
10862 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10863 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10864 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10865 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10866 must be defined. E.g.,
10867 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10868 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10869 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10870 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10872 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10876 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10877 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10878 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10881 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10882 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10883 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10884 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10887 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10888 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10889 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10890 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10891 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10892 is prompted for as usual.
10895 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10896 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10897 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10898 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10900 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10901 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10902 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10903 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10906 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10909 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10913 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10916 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10919 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10923 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10926 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10929 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10930 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10933 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10934 options to produce them.
10937 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10938 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10941 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10945 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10946 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10947 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10948 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10949 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10950 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10951 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10954 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10957 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10958 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10959 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10962 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10963 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10965 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10966 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10969 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10970 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10971 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10975 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10976 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10978 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10979 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10980 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10981 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10982 generation becomes much faster.
10984 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10985 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10986 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10987 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10988 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10989 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10990 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10991 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10992 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10993 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10996 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10997 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10998 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10999 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11000 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11001 trial division stage.
11004 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11008 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11011 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11014 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11015 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11016 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11020 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11021 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11022 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11025 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11026 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11027 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11028 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11030 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11031 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11034 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11037 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11038 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11039 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11040 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11043 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11044 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11045 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11048 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11049 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11050 (instead of parameters) in future.
11053 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11054 when a new cipher list is set.
11057 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11058 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11061 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11062 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11063 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11065 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11066 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11067 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11068 an error is flagged.
11070 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11071 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11072 the readability was also increased :-)
11073 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11075 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11076 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11077 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11078 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11082 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11083 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11086 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11087 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11088 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11089 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11092 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11093 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11094 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11095 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11096 because they handle more complex structures.)
11099 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11100 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11101 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11102 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11104 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11105 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11106 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11107 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11108 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11109 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11110 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11113 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11114 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11115 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11116 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11117 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11120 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11123 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11124 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11125 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11126 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11127 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11130 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11134 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11135 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11136 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11137 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11140 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11143 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11144 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11145 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11146 international characters are used.
11148 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11149 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11150 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11154 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11155 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11156 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11159 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11160 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11161 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11162 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11163 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11164 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11166 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11167 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11168 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11169 be handled by the string table functions.
11171 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11172 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11173 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11174 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11175 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11179 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11180 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11181 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11182 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11183 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11185 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11186 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11187 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11188 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11191 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11192 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11193 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11194 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11195 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11199 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11200 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11201 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11202 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11203 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11204 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11205 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11206 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11208 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11209 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11210 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11213 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11214 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11215 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11216 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11217 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11218 support to pkcs8 application.
11221 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11222 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11223 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11224 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11225 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11226 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11229 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11230 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11231 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11232 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11233 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11237 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11238 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11239 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11240 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11244 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11245 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11246 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11247 and any application specific purposes.
11249 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11250 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11251 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11252 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11253 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11254 if the certificate is self signed.
11257 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11258 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11261 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11262 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11263 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11264 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11267 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11268 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11269 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11270 Update documentation.
11273 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11274 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11275 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11276 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11277 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11280 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11282 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11284 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11285 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11286 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11287 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11288 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11289 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11290 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11291 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11292 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11293 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11295 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11297 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11298 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11299 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11300 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11301 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11303 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11304 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11305 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11306 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11307 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11308 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11309 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11310 request additional information:
11311 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11312 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11314 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11315 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11316 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11319 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11320 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11322 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11323 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11326 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11327 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11329 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11330 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11331 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11335 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11336 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11337 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11339 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11340 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11341 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11342 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11343 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11344 included in OpenSSL.
11347 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11348 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11349 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11350 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11351 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11352 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11355 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11359 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11360 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11361 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11362 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11363 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11367 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11371 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11372 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11373 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11374 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11375 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11376 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11377 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11378 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11379 be maintained manually.
11381 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11382 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11383 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11384 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11385 work because people forget to call this function]
11386 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11387 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11388 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11391 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11392 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11393 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11394 should be discouraged from doing it.
11397 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11398 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11399 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11400 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11401 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11402 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11405 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11406 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11407 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11409 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11410 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11411 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11413 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11414 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11415 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11416 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11417 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11418 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11420 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11421 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11422 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11424 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11425 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11428 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11429 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11430 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11431 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11434 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11437 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11438 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11439 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11440 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11441 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11442 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11443 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11444 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11445 keys so we should be OK.
11447 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11448 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11449 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11450 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11451 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11452 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11453 stay in the name of compatibility.
11455 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11456 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11457 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11459 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11460 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11461 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11462 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11463 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11464 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11468 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11469 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11470 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11471 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11472 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11473 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11474 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11475 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11476 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11477 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11478 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11479 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11480 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11483 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11486 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11487 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11488 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11489 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11490 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11491 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11492 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11493 openssl verify ss.pem
11494 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11495 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11499 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11500 (and add it to external session representation).
11501 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11502 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11503 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11504 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11505 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11506 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11508 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11510 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11511 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11512 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11513 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11515 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11516 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11517 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11520 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11521 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11522 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11526 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11527 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11528 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11530 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11531 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11532 certificate auxiliary information.
11535 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11539 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11540 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11541 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11542 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11543 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11544 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11545 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11548 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11549 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11552 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11553 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11554 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11555 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11558 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11561 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11562 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11565 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11566 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11567 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11568 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11569 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11570 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11571 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11572 using the new 'x509' options.
11574 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11575 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11576 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11577 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11581 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11582 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11583 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11584 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11585 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11588 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11589 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11590 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11591 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11592 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11593 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11594 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11595 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11596 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11597 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11600 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11601 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11602 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11603 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11604 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11605 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11606 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11609 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11610 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11611 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11612 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11613 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11614 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11615 openssl.cnf for more info.
11618 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11619 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11620 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11621 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11622 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11623 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11624 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11625 md should be large enough anyway.
11628 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11629 for handling the random seed file.
11631 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11633 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11636 x509 (when signing).
11637 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11638 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11639 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11641 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11642 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11643 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11644 that support '-rand'.
11647 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11648 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11651 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11652 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11655 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11656 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11657 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11658 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11662 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11663 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11664 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11665 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11668 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11669 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11670 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11671 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11672 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11673 print out all the purposes.
11676 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11680 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11681 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11682 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11683 single function call.
11686 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11687 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11690 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11691 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11692 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11695 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11696 when producing the local key id.
11697 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11699 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11700 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11701 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11705 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11706 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11707 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11708 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11711 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11712 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11713 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11714 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11716 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11717 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11718 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11719 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11721 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11722 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11723 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11724 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11725 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11726 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11727 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11728 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11729 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11730 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11731 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11732 trivial: move one line.
11733 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11735 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11736 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11737 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11738 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11739 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11740 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11741 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11742 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11743 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11744 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11745 with an event loop for example.
11748 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11749 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11750 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11751 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11752 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11753 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11754 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11755 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11756 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11759 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11760 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11761 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11762 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11763 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11764 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11767 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11768 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11769 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11770 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11772 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11773 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11774 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11775 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11779 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11780 (still largely untested)
11783 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11784 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11787 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11788 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11791 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11792 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11793 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11796 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11797 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11798 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11799 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11800 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11803 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11806 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11807 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11808 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11809 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11810 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11814 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11815 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11818 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11821 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11822 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11823 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11824 are otherwise ignored at present.
11827 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11828 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11829 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11830 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11831 copied until the next read.
11834 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11835 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11836 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11839 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11840 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11841 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11842 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11843 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11844 associated functions.
11847 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11848 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11849 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11850 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11851 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11852 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11853 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11854 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11855 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11859 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11860 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11861 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11862 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11865 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11866 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11867 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11868 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11869 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11873 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11874 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11878 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11879 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11880 extensions to be obtained and added.
11883 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11884 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11887 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11889 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11890 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11892 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11893 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11895 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11899 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11900 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11901 DH parameters contain its length).
11903 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11904 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11905 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11906 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11907 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11908 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11909 utter importance to use
11910 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11912 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11913 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11914 attacks may become possible!
11917 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11920 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11921 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11924 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11925 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11926 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11930 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11931 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11932 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11933 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11934 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11935 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11936 private key operations.
11939 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11942 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11943 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11945 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11946 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11947 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11948 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11949 the password callback is called.
11950 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11952 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11954 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11955 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11956 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11957 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11958 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11959 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11962 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11963 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11964 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11965 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11966 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11967 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11970 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11973 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11974 delete an unused file.
11977 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11978 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11979 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11980 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11983 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11984 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11985 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11989 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11990 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11991 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11993 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11994 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11995 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11996 comparison" warnings.
11997 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12000 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12001 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12002 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12005 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12006 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12008 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12009 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12011 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12012 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12013 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12015 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12016 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12017 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12018 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12019 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12021 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12023 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12024 The interface is as follows:
12025 Applications can use
12026 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12027 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12028 "off" is now the default.
12029 The library internally uses
12030 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12031 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12032 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12034 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12035 even the default) are now avoided.
12037 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12038 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12039 than just having a counter.
12041 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12043 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12047 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12048 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12049 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12050 Initial "mode" flags are:
12052 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12053 a single record has been written.
12054 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12055 retries use the same buffer location.
12056 (But all of the contents must be
12060 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12063 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12064 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12066 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12067 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12068 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12071 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12072 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12074 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12076 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12077 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12078 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12079 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12081 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12082 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12084 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12085 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12086 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12087 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12088 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12089 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12092 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12093 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12094 necessary function names.
12097 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12098 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12099 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12100 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12103 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12104 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12105 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12108 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12109 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12110 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12111 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12113 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12117 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12118 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12119 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12122 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12123 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12127 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12128 for the encoded length.
12129 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12131 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12134 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12135 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12136 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12137 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12140 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12141 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12142 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12144 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12145 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12146 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12147 unusual formatting.
12150 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12151 to use the new extension code.
12154 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12155 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12156 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12160 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12161 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12162 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12166 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12169 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12170 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12171 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12174 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12175 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12176 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12177 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12180 *) DES library cleanups.
12183 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12184 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12185 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12186 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12187 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12191 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12192 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12195 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12196 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12197 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12198 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12199 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12200 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12201 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12202 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12203 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12206 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12207 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12208 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12209 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12210 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12211 value doesn't matter.
12214 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12218 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12219 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12220 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12221 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12223 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12226 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12227 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12228 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12230 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12231 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12233 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12236 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12239 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12242 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12246 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12248 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12250 *) Updated some demos.
12251 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12253 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12256 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12259 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12262 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12263 instead of using a fixed path.
12266 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12269 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12273 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12275 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12276 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12277 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12279 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12280 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12281 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12282 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12283 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12284 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12285 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12286 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12287 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12288 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12291 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12292 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12295 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12296 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12297 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12298 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12299 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12301 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12304 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12305 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12306 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12309 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12312 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12313 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12314 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12315 key elements as negative integers.
12318 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12319 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12322 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12324 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12325 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12326 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12329 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12330 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12331 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12332 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12333 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12336 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12339 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12340 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12341 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12342 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12344 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12345 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12346 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12348 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12349 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12350 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12351 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12352 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12353 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12354 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12355 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12356 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12358 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12359 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12360 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12361 does not influence s as it used to.
12363 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12364 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12365 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12366 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12367 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12368 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12371 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12372 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12373 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12377 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12378 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12379 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12383 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12384 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12385 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12389 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12390 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12393 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12394 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12396 *) Support Mingw32.
12399 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12400 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12402 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12403 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12405 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12408 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12411 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12414 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12415 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12416 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12420 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12421 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12422 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12423 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12424 now it really counts the depth.
12427 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12428 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12429 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12430 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12431 didn't match the private key).
12433 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12434 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12435 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12438 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12441 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12445 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12446 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12447 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12450 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12453 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12454 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12455 such as /usr/local/bin.
12458 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12459 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12461 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12464 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12465 extension adding in x509 utility.
12468 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12471 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12475 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12478 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12479 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12480 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12481 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12482 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12483 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12484 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12485 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12486 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12487 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12490 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12493 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12494 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12497 *) Fix some race conditions.
12500 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12501 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12504 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12507 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12508 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12509 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12510 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12512 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12513 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12515 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12516 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12517 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12519 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12520 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12522 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12525 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12526 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12528 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12531 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12532 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12534 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12535 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12538 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12539 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12542 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12543 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12546 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12547 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12550 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12551 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12554 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12555 support typesafe stack.
12558 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12559 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12561 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12562 old X509V3 handling code.
12565 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12568 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12571 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12574 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12575 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12577 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12578 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12579 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12580 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12581 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12584 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12585 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12586 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12587 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12588 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12590 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12591 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12592 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12593 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12595 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12596 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12597 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12600 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12601 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12602 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12603 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12604 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12605 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12608 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12609 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12612 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12613 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12616 *) Tweaks to Configure
12617 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12619 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12623 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12626 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12627 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12630 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12631 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12632 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12635 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12638 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12639 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12642 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12643 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12644 to library startup routines.
12647 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12648 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12649 codes along the way.
12652 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12653 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12654 objects to objects.h
12657 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12658 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12661 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12662 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12664 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12665 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12666 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12668 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12669 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12670 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12672 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12673 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12674 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12677 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12679 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12680 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12683 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12684 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12685 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12686 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12687 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12689 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12690 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12691 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12693 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12695 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12697 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12699 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12700 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12702 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12703 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12704 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12705 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12707 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12710 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12711 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12712 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12713 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12716 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12717 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12718 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12721 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12722 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12723 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12724 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12725 installed as `perl').
12726 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12728 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12729 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12731 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12732 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12733 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12734 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12735 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12738 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12741 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12742 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12743 is horrible: I feel ill....
12746 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12747 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12748 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12749 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12752 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12755 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12756 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12757 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12758 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12760 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12761 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12762 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12763 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12764 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12765 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12769 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12770 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12772 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12773 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12775 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12778 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12779 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12783 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12784 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12785 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12786 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12787 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12788 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12789 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12790 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12791 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12792 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12793 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12795 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12798 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12799 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12800 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12801 for linking it into DSOs.
12802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12804 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12808 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12809 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12810 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12811 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12812 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12813 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12815 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12816 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12817 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12818 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12819 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12820 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12821 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12823 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12824 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12825 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12829 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12830 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12831 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12832 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12835 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12836 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12837 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12838 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12839 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12843 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12844 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12845 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12846 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12849 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12850 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12851 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12853 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12854 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12856 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12857 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12858 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12859 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12860 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12863 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12864 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12865 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12866 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12867 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12868 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12869 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12872 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12874 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12875 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12878 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12879 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12881 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12882 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12885 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12886 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12887 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12888 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12889 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12891 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12892 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12893 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12894 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12895 no way to reconfigure them.
12896 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12897 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12898 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12899 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12900 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12901 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12903 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12904 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12905 recognized by the users.
12906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12908 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12909 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12910 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12911 already masked variable.
12912 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12914 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12915 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12917 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12918 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12919 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12920 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12922 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12923 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12924 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12926 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12927 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12928 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12929 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12930 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12931 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12932 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12933 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12935 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12937 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12938 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12939 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12941 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12942 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12946 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12947 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12949 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12950 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12951 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12952 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12955 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12958 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12959 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12961 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12964 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12965 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12968 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12969 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12972 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12973 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12974 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12975 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12976 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12977 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12978 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12981 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12982 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12984 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12985 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12986 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12987 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12988 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12990 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12991 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12992 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12995 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12996 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13000 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13001 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13002 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13004 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13005 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13006 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13007 build instructions.
13010 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13011 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13012 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13013 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13016 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13017 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13018 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13019 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13022 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13023 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13024 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13025 so it wasn't spotted.
13026 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13028 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13029 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13030 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13031 vectors if you have them.
13034 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13035 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13038 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13039 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13040 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13041 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13043 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13044 it will update them.
13047 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13048 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13049 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13050 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13051 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13052 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13053 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13054 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13056 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13057 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13058 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13059 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13060 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13061 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13062 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13063 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13064 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13067 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13068 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13069 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13070 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13071 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13074 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13078 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13079 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13081 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13082 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13084 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13085 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13088 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13089 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13091 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13092 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13094 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13097 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13101 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13102 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13103 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13104 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13106 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13109 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13112 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13115 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13116 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13119 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13120 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13124 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13125 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13128 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13129 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13130 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13133 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13134 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13135 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13136 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13137 properly to be processed.
13140 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13141 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13142 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13145 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13146 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13148 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13149 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13150 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13151 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13152 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13153 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13154 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13155 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13156 or delete all the .err files.
13159 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13160 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13161 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13162 to regenerate it if needed.
13163 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13164 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13166 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13167 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13169 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13170 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13171 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13172 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13173 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13176 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13177 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13179 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13180 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13182 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13183 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13184 error, but didn't set one).
13185 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13187 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13190 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13191 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13194 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13195 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13197 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13198 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13199 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13200 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13201 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13202 OID is not part of the table.
13205 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13206 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13209 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13212 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13213 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13217 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13218 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13220 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13222 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13224 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13225 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13227 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13228 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13230 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13231 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13233 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13234 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13237 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13238 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13241 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13242 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13244 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13245 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13247 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13248 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13250 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13251 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13253 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13254 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13255 unused in the certificate verification process.
13256 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13258 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13259 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13262 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13263 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13264 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13266 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13267 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13268 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13269 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13270 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13272 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13273 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13276 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13279 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13282 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13283 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13285 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13288 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13291 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13294 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13295 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13296 other error libraries.
13299 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13302 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13303 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13307 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13308 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13309 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13310 the new set of documentation files.
13311 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13313 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13314 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13315 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13316 number of arguments.
13317 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13319 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13322 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13323 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13324 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13326 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13329 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13333 unixware-2.0-pentium
13337 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13338 before they are needed.
13341 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13345 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13347 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13348 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13349 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13351 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13354 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13355 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13358 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13359 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13360 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13362 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13363 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13366 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13367 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13369 *) Updated the README file.
13370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13372 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13373 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13374 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13376 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13377 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13380 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13381 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13382 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13383 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13384 o removed obsolete TODO file
13385 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13388 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13389 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13390 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13391 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13392 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13393 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13394 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13396 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13399 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13400 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13401 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13403 [The OpenSSL Project]
13406 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13408 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13411 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13414 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13415 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13418 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13419 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13423 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13425 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13427 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13430 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13433 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13436 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13439 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13442 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13445 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13448 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13451 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13454 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13457 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13460 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13463 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13466 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13469 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13472 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13475 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13478 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13479 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13480 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13483 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13484 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13487 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13490 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13493 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13494 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13497 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13500 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13503 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13504 bytes sent in the client random.
