5 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
8 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
9 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
10 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
11 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
12 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
13 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
14 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
17 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
18 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
19 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
20 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
22 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
23 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
24 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
28 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
29 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
30 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
31 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
32 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
33 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
34 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
35 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
36 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
38 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
39 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
40 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
41 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
42 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
43 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
44 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
45 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
46 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
47 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
48 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
51 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
52 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
53 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
55 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
56 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
60 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
61 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
62 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
65 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
66 it yet and it is largely untested.
69 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
72 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
73 when OPENSSL_NO_FCAST is set: some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject
74 their use. Safestack is reimplemented using inline functions: tests show
75 that these calls are typically optimized away by compilers so they have
76 no additional overhead. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
79 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
82 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
83 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
84 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
85 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
88 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
89 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
90 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
91 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
92 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
95 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
96 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
99 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
100 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
101 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
102 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
105 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
106 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
107 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
108 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
111 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
112 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
115 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
116 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
117 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
118 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
121 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
122 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
123 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
126 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
130 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
131 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
134 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
135 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
136 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
140 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
141 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
142 to free up any added signature OIDs.
145 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
146 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
147 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
148 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
151 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
152 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
153 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
154 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
155 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
156 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
157 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
158 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
160 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
161 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
162 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
164 we now have additional functions
166 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
167 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
168 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
170 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
171 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
175 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
176 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
177 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
178 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
179 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
180 the array representation useful in a more general context.
183 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
184 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
185 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
186 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
187 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
189 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
190 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
191 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
192 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
193 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
196 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
197 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
198 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
199 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
201 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
202 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
203 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
204 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
205 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
211 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
212 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
216 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
217 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
220 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
221 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
224 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
225 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
226 functional reference processing.
229 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
230 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
234 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
235 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
236 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
239 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
240 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
241 application to support multiple signers.
244 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
248 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
249 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
250 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
251 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
252 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
255 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
259 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
260 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
261 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
262 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
266 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
267 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
268 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
269 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
270 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
271 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
272 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
273 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
276 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
277 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
278 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
279 between digests and public key types.
282 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
283 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
284 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
285 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
288 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
289 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
293 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
296 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
300 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
301 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
302 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
303 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
308 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
310 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
312 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
314 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
315 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
316 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
317 functionality for RSA.
320 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
321 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
322 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
325 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
326 key API, doesn't do much yet.
329 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
330 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
331 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
334 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
335 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
338 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
339 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
342 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
343 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
347 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
348 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
349 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
353 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
354 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
355 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
356 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
357 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
358 of public and private key structures.
361 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
362 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
365 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
366 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
367 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
370 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
374 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
375 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
377 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
379 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
381 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
382 and response verification functionality.
383 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
385 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
386 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
387 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
388 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
389 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
390 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
391 server_name extension.
393 New functions (subject to change):
396 SSL_get_servername_type()
399 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
401 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
402 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
403 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
404 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
405 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
407 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
409 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
410 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
411 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
412 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
413 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
414 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
417 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
419 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
422 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
423 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
424 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
425 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
426 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
429 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
430 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
434 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
435 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
436 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
437 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
440 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
441 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
442 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
443 using the maximum available value.
446 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
447 in addition to the text details.
450 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
451 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
452 handle several customised structures at all.
455 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
456 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
457 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
460 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
463 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
464 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
465 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
468 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
469 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
470 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
473 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
474 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
478 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
481 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
484 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
486 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
487 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
488 authentication-only ciphersuites.
491 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
492 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
493 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
494 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
495 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
498 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
499 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
500 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
501 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
502 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
503 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
506 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
507 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
508 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
509 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
510 message has informed the client about his choice.)
513 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
514 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
516 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
517 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
518 Improve header file function name parsing.
521 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
522 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
525 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
527 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
528 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
529 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
531 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
532 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
534 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
535 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
537 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
538 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
539 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
541 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
542 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
543 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
544 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
545 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
546 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
547 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
548 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
549 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
551 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
552 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
553 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
554 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
555 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
557 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
558 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
559 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
560 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
561 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
562 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
563 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
564 multiple values to extend the available space.
568 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
570 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
571 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
573 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
576 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
577 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
578 undesirable limitations.
579 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
581 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
582 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
583 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
584 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
585 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
586 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
587 to avoid potential handshake problems.
590 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
592 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
593 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
594 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
596 The latter two were purportedly from
597 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
600 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
601 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
602 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
605 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
606 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
609 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
610 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
611 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
612 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
614 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
615 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
616 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
619 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
620 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
621 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
622 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
623 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
624 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
627 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
629 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
630 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
633 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
634 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
636 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
637 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
638 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
639 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
642 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
643 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
646 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
647 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
648 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
649 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
650 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
651 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
652 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
656 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
657 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
658 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
659 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
662 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
663 under VC++ build system.
666 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
667 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
670 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
672 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
673 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
674 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
675 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
676 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
678 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
679 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
680 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
682 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
685 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
686 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
689 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
690 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
692 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
695 *) Extended Windows CE support.
696 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
698 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
699 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
702 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
703 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
707 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
709 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
712 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
715 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
716 key into the same file any more.
719 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
722 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
723 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
725 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
726 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
729 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
730 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
731 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
732 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
733 this only applies when building 'shared'.
734 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
736 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
737 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
738 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
741 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
742 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
743 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
744 - add new function for parameter creation
745 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
746 BN_BLINDING parameters
747 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
748 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
749 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
753 *) Add support for DTLS.
754 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
756 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
757 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
760 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
761 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
764 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
765 the apps/openssl applications.
768 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
769 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
770 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
773 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
774 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
776 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
777 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
779 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
780 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
781 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
782 avoid this algorithm.)
786 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
787 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
788 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
791 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
792 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
795 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
796 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
797 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
800 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
802 The blank line is mandatory.
806 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
807 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
811 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
812 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
814 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
815 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
816 to support policy checking and print out.
819 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
820 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
821 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
822 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
824 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
827 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
828 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
830 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
831 implementation contributed by IBM.
832 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
834 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
835 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
836 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
837 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
839 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
840 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
842 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
843 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
844 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
845 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
846 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
847 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
850 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
851 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
852 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
853 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
854 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
855 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
856 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
859 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
862 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
863 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
864 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
865 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
866 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
867 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
868 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
869 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
872 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
873 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
874 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
875 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
878 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
881 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
884 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
885 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
886 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
887 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
888 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
889 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
893 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
894 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
897 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
898 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
899 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
902 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
903 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
904 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
908 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
909 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
912 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
913 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
914 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
915 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
918 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
919 initialised value as BN_new().
920 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
922 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
925 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
926 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
927 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
928 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
929 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
930 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
931 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
932 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
933 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
934 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
935 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
936 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
937 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
938 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
939 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
941 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
942 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
943 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
944 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
947 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
948 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
949 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
950 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
951 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
952 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
953 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
954 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
955 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
958 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
959 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
960 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
961 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
962 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
963 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
964 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
967 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
968 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
969 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
970 these have been updated also.
973 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
974 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
975 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
976 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
977 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
981 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
982 structure of type "other".
985 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
986 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
987 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
988 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
989 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
990 situation in the script.
991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
993 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
994 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
995 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
996 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
997 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
998 used as premaster secret.
999 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1001 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1002 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1003 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1005 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1006 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1008 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1009 control of the error stack.
1012 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1015 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1016 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1017 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1018 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1021 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1022 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1023 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1026 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1027 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1028 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1032 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1033 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1034 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1035 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1038 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1039 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1040 the following flags are defined:
1042 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1043 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1044 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1047 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1048 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1049 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1050 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1054 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1055 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1056 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1057 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1058 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1061 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1062 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1063 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1066 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1067 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1068 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1069 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1070 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1071 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1074 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1078 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1081 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1084 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1087 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1088 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1089 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1090 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1091 default implementation more easily.
1094 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1098 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1099 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1102 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1103 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1104 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1105 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1107 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1108 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1109 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1110 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1113 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1114 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1118 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1119 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1120 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1121 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1122 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1123 scalar * generator).
1124 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1126 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1127 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1128 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1132 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1133 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1134 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1135 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1136 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1137 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1138 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1139 linker additions, eg;
1140 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1143 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1144 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1145 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1148 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1149 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1150 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1154 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1155 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1156 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1157 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1160 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1161 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1162 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1163 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1164 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1165 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1166 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1167 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1168 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1169 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1171 Example for using the new callback interface:
1173 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1177 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1179 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1180 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1181 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1182 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1183 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1184 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1189 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1190 available to TLS with the number defined in
1191 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1194 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1195 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1197 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1198 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1199 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1200 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1202 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1203 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1205 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1206 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1210 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1211 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1214 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1215 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1216 and a macro that behave like
1217 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1219 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1222 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1223 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1224 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1226 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1228 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1231 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1232 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1233 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1234 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1236 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1237 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1238 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1239 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1240 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1241 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1242 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1243 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1245 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1246 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1249 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1250 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1252 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1253 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1254 files while avoiding the low level API.
1256 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1257 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1258 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1259 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1261 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1262 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1263 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1264 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1265 instead of the low level API.
1268 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1269 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1270 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1271 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1272 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1275 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1276 down to the template encoder.
1279 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1280 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1283 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1284 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1285 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1286 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1288 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1289 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1291 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1292 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1294 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1295 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1298 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1299 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1300 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1303 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1304 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1306 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1307 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1309 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1310 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1313 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1317 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1318 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1319 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1320 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1321 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1322 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1324 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1325 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1328 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1329 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1330 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1331 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1332 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1333 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1334 various internal method names.)
1336 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1337 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1339 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1340 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1342 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1343 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1345 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1346 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1347 methods are undefined.
1349 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1350 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1352 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1353 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1354 length of the modulus.
1356 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1357 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1359 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1360 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1362 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1363 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1365 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1366 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1367 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1370 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1371 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1372 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1373 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1375 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1376 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1377 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1378 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1380 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1381 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1383 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1384 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1385 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1386 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1387 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1389 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1390 This applies to the following functions:
1395 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1396 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1398 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1399 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1403 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1408 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1410 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1411 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1412 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1413 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1414 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1416 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1417 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1419 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1420 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1421 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1423 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1424 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1426 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1427 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1428 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1429 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1430 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1432 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1434 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1435 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1436 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1437 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1438 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1439 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1440 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1441 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1442 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1443 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1444 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1445 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1447 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1450 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1451 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1452 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1453 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1455 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1456 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1457 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1458 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1463 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1464 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1465 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1466 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1467 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1469 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1470 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1471 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1472 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1473 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1474 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1475 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1476 adding different types of curves.
1477 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1479 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1480 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1481 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1484 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1485 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1487 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1488 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1489 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1490 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1492 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1494 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1495 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1497 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1498 library. Most notably,
1499 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1500 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1501 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1502 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1503 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1504 extracted before the specific public key;
1505 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1506 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1508 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1509 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1511 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1512 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1513 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1514 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1516 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1517 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1518 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1520 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1521 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1522 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1523 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1524 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1525 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1529 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1531 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1533 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1535 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1536 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1537 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1540 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1541 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1542 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1545 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1548 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1549 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1552 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1553 run algorithm test programs.
1556 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1559 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1560 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1561 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1562 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1563 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1566 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1567 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1570 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1572 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1573 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1574 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1576 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1577 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1579 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1580 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1582 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1583 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1584 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1586 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1587 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1588 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1589 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1590 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1591 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1592 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1595 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1597 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1598 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1600 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1601 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1602 undesirable limitations.
1603 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1605 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1607 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1608 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1609 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1611 The latter two were purportedly from
1612 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1615 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1616 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1617 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1620 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1621 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1624 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1626 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1627 module in FIPS mode.
1630 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1633 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1634 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1635 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1636 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1639 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1641 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1642 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1643 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1644 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1645 the difference induced by this change.
1648 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1650 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1651 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1652 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1653 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1654 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1656 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1657 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1658 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1660 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1661 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1664 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1665 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1666 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1667 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1671 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1672 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1673 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1674 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1675 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1677 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1678 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1679 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1680 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1681 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1682 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1684 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1686 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1687 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1688 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1689 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1690 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1693 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1697 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1698 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1699 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1702 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1703 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1704 structures constant.
1707 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1709 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1712 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1713 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1714 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1715 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1716 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1717 some needed definitions.
1720 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1723 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1724 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1725 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1726 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1729 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1731 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1732 server and client random values. Previously
1733 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1734 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1736 This change has negligible security impact because:
1738 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1741 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1744 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1745 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1748 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1751 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1753 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1756 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1757 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1758 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1760 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1763 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1764 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1767 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1768 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1769 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1771 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1774 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1775 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1776 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1780 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1781 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1782 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1783 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1785 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1786 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1787 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1788 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1792 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1794 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1795 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1796 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1797 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1798 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1801 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1804 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1805 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1807 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1808 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1809 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1810 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1811 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1812 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1813 rather than being initialized to 1.
1816 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1818 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1819 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1820 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1822 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1824 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1826 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1827 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1828 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1829 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1830 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1831 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1834 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1835 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1836 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1837 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1838 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1842 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1843 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1844 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1845 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1846 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1849 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1850 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1851 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1855 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1856 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1858 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1861 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1863 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1865 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1866 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1868 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1870 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1871 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1875 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1876 exiting on the first error in a request.
1879 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1880 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1884 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1885 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1886 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1887 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1889 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1890 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1893 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1894 blocks during encryption.
1897 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1898 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1899 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1900 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1904 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1905 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1906 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1907 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1908 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1912 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1914 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1915 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1916 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1917 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1920 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1921 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1922 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1923 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1924 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1926 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1927 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1928 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1929 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1930 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1931 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1932 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1933 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1934 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1937 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1938 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1939 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1940 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1943 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1944 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1947 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1949 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1950 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1951 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1952 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1953 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1955 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1956 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1957 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1959 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1960 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1961 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1962 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1963 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1965 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1966 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1967 used by default when no-err is given.
1970 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1971 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1973 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1974 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1975 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1976 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1977 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1979 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1980 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1981 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1982 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1984 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1986 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1988 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1990 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1991 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1992 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1993 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1997 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1998 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2000 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2001 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2004 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2005 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2006 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2007 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2010 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2011 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2012 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2013 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2014 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2015 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2016 followup to PR #377.
2019 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2020 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2023 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2024 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2025 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2026 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2028 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2030 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2033 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2034 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2035 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2036 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2038 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2042 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2043 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2047 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2048 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2049 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2050 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2051 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2052 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2054 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2055 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2056 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2057 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2058 have to be made anyway).
2061 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2062 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2063 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2066 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2067 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2068 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2071 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2072 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2073 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2075 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2076 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2077 edit numbers of the version.
2078 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2080 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2081 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2082 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2084 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2085 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2087 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2088 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2089 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2091 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2092 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2094 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2095 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2097 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2098 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2100 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2101 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2103 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2105 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2107 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2108 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2109 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2111 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2112 representations in a platform independent manner.
2113 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2115 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2116 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2117 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2119 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2121 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2123 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2124 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2126 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2128 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2130 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2131 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2132 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2134 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2136 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2138 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2139 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2141 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2142 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2144 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2145 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2147 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2148 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2150 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2152 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2154 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2155 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2157 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2158 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2160 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2161 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2163 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2165 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2166 the 0.9.6 release series:
2168 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2169 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2171 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2173 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2176 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2177 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2179 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2180 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2182 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2183 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2184 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2185 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2187 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2188 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2189 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2191 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2192 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2193 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2194 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2196 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2197 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2198 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2201 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2202 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2203 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2204 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2205 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2206 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2207 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2208 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2211 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2212 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2213 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2216 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2217 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2218 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2219 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2220 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2222 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2223 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2225 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2226 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2229 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2230 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2231 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2232 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2233 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2234 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2237 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2238 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2239 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2242 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2243 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2246 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2247 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2248 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2249 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2250 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2251 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2252 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2255 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2256 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2257 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2258 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2259 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2260 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2263 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2264 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2265 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2266 declaration has been changed from
2269 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2270 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2271 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2272 has been changed into
2273 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2275 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2276 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2277 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2279 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2280 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2282 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2283 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2284 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2285 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2286 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2287 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2288 always load it have also been added.
2291 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2292 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2293 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2295 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2297 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2298 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2299 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2301 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2302 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2303 command line option can be used to specify an
2307 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2308 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2311 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2312 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2313 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2316 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2317 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2318 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2319 to work with the new engine framework.
2320 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2322 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2323 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2324 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2325 to work with the new engine framework.
2328 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2329 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2330 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2332 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2333 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2335 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2336 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2337 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2338 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2340 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2342 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2343 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2345 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2346 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2348 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2349 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2350 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2353 *) Add new functions
2355 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2356 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2357 These are similar to
2360 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2361 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2362 still in the error queue.
2363 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2365 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2367 default_algorithms = ALL
2368 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2371 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2374 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2377 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2378 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2379 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2380 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2382 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2383 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2385 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2386 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2388 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2389 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2392 *) New functions/macros
2394 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2395 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2396 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2397 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2399 to request calling a callback function
2401 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2402 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2404 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2405 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2406 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2407 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2408 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2409 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2410 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2411 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2412 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2413 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2415 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2416 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2419 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2420 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2421 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2422 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2423 the configuration scripts.
2425 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2426 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2427 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2429 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2430 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2432 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2433 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2434 when reusing an existing buffer.
2437 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2438 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2441 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2442 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2445 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2446 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2447 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2448 has the same effect.
2449 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2451 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2452 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2453 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2454 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2455 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2456 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2459 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2460 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2461 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2462 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2464 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2465 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2466 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2467 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2469 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2470 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2473 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2474 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2475 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2476 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2477 default), and then completely removed.
2480 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2481 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2482 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2483 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2484 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2485 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2486 particular extension is supported.
2489 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2490 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2493 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2494 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2495 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2496 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2497 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2498 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2499 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2500 requires the destination to be valid.
2502 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2503 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2506 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2507 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2508 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2511 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2512 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2514 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2515 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2516 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2517 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2518 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2519 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2520 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2521 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2522 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2523 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2524 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2525 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2526 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2527 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2528 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2529 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2530 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2531 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2532 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2536 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2539 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2540 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2541 become part of libeay.num as well.
2544 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2545 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2546 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2547 false once a handshake has been completed.
2548 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2549 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2550 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2551 client has followed the request.)
2554 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2555 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2556 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2557 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2559 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2560 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2561 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2564 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2567 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2568 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2569 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2572 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2573 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2576 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2577 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2578 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2579 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2582 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2583 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2584 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2585 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2586 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2587 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2590 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2591 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2592 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2593 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2594 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2595 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2596 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2597 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2600 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2601 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2604 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2607 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2608 md_data void pointer.
2611 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2612 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2613 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2614 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2615 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2616 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2619 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2620 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2621 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2622 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2623 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2624 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2625 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2626 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2627 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2628 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2629 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2630 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2631 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2632 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2633 rather than letting it slide.
2635 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2636 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2637 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2640 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2641 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2642 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2643 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2644 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2645 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2646 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2647 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2648 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2651 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2652 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2653 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2654 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2655 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2657 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2660 *) Add EVP test program.
2663 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2666 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2667 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2668 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2669 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2670 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2673 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2674 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2675 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2676 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2677 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2678 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2679 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2681 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2682 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2683 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2688 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2689 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2690 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2691 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2692 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2696 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2697 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2698 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2699 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2702 des_key_schedule ks;
2704 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2705 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2707 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2710 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2711 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2712 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2713 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2714 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2715 functions prevents this.
2718 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2721 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2722 correct _ecb suffix.
2725 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2726 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2727 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2728 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2729 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2732 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2735 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2736 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2737 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2738 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2740 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2741 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2743 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2744 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2745 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2746 via Richard Levitte]
2748 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2749 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2750 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2751 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2754 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2757 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

2772 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2773 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2775 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2776 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2777 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2778 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2779 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2780 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2783 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2784 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2787 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2788 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2789 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2790 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2792 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2793 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2794 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2795 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2796 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2797 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2801 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2802 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2803 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2804 and interrupts/cancellations.
2807 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2808 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2811 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2812 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2813 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2815 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2816 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2820 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2821 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2822 than this minimum value is recommended.
2825 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2826 that are easily reachable.
2829 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2830 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2832 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2834 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2835 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2836 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2837 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2840 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2841 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2842 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2845 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2846 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2847 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2848 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2849 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2850 internally such as S/MIME.
2852 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2853 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2854 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2856 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2860 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2861 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2862 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2863 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2865 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2867 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2869 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2870 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2871 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2875 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2876 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2877 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2878 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2879 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2880 a window system and the like.
2883 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2884 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2887 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2888 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2889 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2890 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2891 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2892 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2893 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2894 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2895 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2899 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2900 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2904 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2905 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2906 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2907 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2908 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2909 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2910 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2911 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2914 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2915 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2916 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2917 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2918 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2919 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2920 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2921 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2922 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2923 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2924 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2925 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2926 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2927 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2928 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2929 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2930 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2933 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2934 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2935 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2936 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2937 internal engine_int.h header.
2940 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2941 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2942 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2943 modify their own ones).
2946 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2947 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2948 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2949 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2950 later on via ctrl() commands.
2951 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2952 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2953 structural references.
2954 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2955 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2956 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2957 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2958 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2959 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2960 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2961 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2962 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2963 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2964 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2965 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2968 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2969 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2970 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2971 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2972 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2973 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2974 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2975 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2978 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2979 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2982 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2983 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2986 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2987 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2988 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2989 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2990 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2991 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2992 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2995 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2996 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2997 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2998 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2999 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3001 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3002 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3006 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3008 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3009 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3010 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3012 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3013 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3015 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3016 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3017 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3019 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3020 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3022 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3023 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3025 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3027 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3028 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3029 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3032 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3033 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3036 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3037 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3038 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3039 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3040 is 40 of more characters long.
3043 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3044 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3048 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3049 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3052 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3053 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3057 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3059 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3060 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3063 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3065 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3066 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3067 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3069 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3070 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3072 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3075 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3079 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3080 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3081 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3082 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3084 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3086 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3087 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3089 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3090 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3091 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3092 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3093 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3094 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3096 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3097 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3099 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3100 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3102 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3103 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3105 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3106 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3107 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3108 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3110 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3111 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3113 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3114 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3116 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3117 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3118 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3119 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3120 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3123 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3124 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3125 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3126 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3129 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3130 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3131 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3135 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3136 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3137 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3138 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3139 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3140 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3141 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3142 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3146 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3147 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3150 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3151 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3152 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3153 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3156 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3157 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3158 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3159 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3160 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3161 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3162 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3163 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3164 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3165 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3168 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3169 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3170 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3171 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3172 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3173 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3174 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3175 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3177 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3178 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3179 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3180 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3183 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3184 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3185 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3186 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3188 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3189 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3190 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3191 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3192 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3196 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3197 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3198 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3199 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3203 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3204 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3205 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3208 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3209 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3210 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3211 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3212 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3215 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3218 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3219 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3220 option to ocsp utility.
3223 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3224 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3225 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3226 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3227 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3228 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3229 the request is nonce-less.
3232 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3233 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3234 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3237 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3238 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3239 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3242 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3243 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3244 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3245 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3246 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3249 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3250 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3254 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3255 additional certificates supplied.
3258 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3259 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3263 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3264 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3267 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3268 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3269 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3270 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3271 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3272 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3273 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3274 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3275 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3277 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3278 request to response.
3281 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3282 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3283 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3284 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3285 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3286 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3287 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3288 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3289 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3290 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3291 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3294 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3295 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3296 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3297 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3300 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3301 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3303 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3304 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3305 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3308 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3309 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3310 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3311 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3312 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3314 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3315 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3316 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3319 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3320 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3321 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3322 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3323 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3324 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3325 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3326 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3328 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3329 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3330 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3331 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3332 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3333 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3336 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3337 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3338 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3339 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3340 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3341 printout format cleaned up.
3344 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3345 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3346 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3347 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3348 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3349 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3350 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3351 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3354 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3355 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3356 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3357 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3358 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3359 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3360 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3361 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3364 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3365 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3366 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3367 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3369 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3371 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3372 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3373 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3374 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3377 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3378 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3379 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3380 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3382 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3384 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3385 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3386 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3387 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3389 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3390 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3392 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3393 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3394 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3397 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3398 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3399 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3402 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3403 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3404 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3405 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3406 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3407 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3408 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3409 functions are provided:
3411 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3412 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3413 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3414 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3416 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3417 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3418 extended allocation function is enabled.
3419 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3420 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3421 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3423 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3424 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3425 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3426 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3427 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3430 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3431 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3432 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3434 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3435 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3436 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3439 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3440 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3441 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3442 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3443 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3444 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3445 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3446 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3447 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3450 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3451 provide utility functions which an application needing
3452 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3453 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3454 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3456 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3457 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3458 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3459 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3460 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3461 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3462 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3463 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3464 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3466 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3467 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3468 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3469 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3472 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3473 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3474 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3475 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3476 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3477 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3478 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3479 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3480 will be added elsewhere.
3483 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3484 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3485 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3486 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3489 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3490 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3491 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3492 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3493 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3494 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3495 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3496 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3497 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3498 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3499 to produce the required SET OF.
3502 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3503 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3504 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3507 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3508 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3509 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3510 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3511 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3512 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3515 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3516 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3517 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3520 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3521 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3522 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3525 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3526 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3527 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3528 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3529 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3532 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3533 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3536 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3537 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3538 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3539 certifcates and CRLs.
3542 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3543 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3544 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3547 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3548 entries for variables.
3551 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3552 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3553 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3554 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3557 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3558 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3559 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3560 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3561 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3562 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3565 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3566 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3568 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3569 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3570 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3573 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3577 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3578 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3579 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3580 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3581 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3582 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3585 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3588 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3589 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3590 for now but they will eventually go away.
3593 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3594 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3595 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3596 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3597 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3598 has also been converted to the new form.
3601 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3602 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3603 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3604 for negative moduli.
3607 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3608 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3611 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3615 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3616 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3617 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3618 type-specific callbacks.
3621 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3623 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3624 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3626 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3627 in sections depending on the subject.
3630 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3634 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3635 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3636 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3637 be handled deterministically).
3638 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3640 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3641 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3642 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3645 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3648 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3649 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3650 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3651 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3652 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3655 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3656 sign of the number in question.
3658 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3660 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3661 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3662 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3663 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3664 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3667 *) New function BN_swap.
3670 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3671 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3672 results on negative inputs.
3675 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3676 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3677 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3680 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3681 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3682 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3683 and add new functions:
3692 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3696 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3698 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3699 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3701 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3702 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3703 be reduced modulo m.
3704 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3707 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3708 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3709 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3711 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3712 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3713 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3714 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3715 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3716 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3721 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3722 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3723 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3724 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3725 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3727 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3728 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3729 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3733 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3736 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3737 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3740 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3741 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3742 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3743 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3747 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3750 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3753 *) Add the following functions:
3755 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3757 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3759 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3761 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3762 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3763 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3764 libraries unless it's really needed.
3766 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3767 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3768 declarations (they differed!).
3771 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3774 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3777 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3780 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3781 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3784 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3785 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3786 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3788 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3789 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3792 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3795 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3798 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3801 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3802 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3803 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3805 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3806 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3807 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3808 different shared library filenames on each system.
3811 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3814 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3815 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3816 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3818 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3821 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3822 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3823 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3824 binary backward compatibility.
3825 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3826 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3827 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3831 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3832 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3833 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3834 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3838 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3841 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3842 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3843 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3844 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3848 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3851 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3853 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3854 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3855 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3857 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3859 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3861 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3862 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3865 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3867 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3869 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3870 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3872 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3873 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3877 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3878 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3882 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3883 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3884 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3885 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3887 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3888 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3891 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3893 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3894 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3895 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3896 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3899 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3900 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3901 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3902 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3903 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3905 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3906 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3907 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3908 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3909 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3910 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3911 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3912 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3913 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3916 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3918 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3919 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3920 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3921 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3922 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3924 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3925 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3926 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3928 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3930 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3931 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3932 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3933 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3934 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3935 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3938 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3939 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3940 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3941 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3942 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3945 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3946 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3947 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3949 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3950 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3951 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3955 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3956 being properly terminated.
3959 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3960 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3961 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3962 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3964 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3965 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3966 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3967 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3968 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3969 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3970 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3972 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3974 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3975 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3978 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3979 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3980 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3981 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3982 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3983 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3984 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3985 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3987 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3988 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3989 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3990 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3991 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3993 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3994 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3997 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3999 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4000 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4001 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4003 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4005 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4006 and get fix the header length calculation.
4007 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4008 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4011 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4012 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4013 assertions could call abort()).
4014 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4016 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4018 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4019 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4020 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4022 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4024 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4025 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4026 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4029 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4033 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4034 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4035 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4037 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4038 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4039 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4040 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4041 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4045 *) Changes in security patch:
4047 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4048 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4049 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4052 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4053 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4054 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4055 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4056 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4058 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4060 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4062 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4063 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4064 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4066 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4067 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4068 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4070 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4071 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4072 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4074 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4076 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4077 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4078 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4080 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4081 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4083 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4084 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4085 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4086 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4087 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4088 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4091 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4092 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4093 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4094 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4097 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4100 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4101 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4102 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4103 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4104 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4105 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4107 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4108 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4109 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4110 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4111 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4114 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4115 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4116 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4117 BN_generate_prime().)
4119 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4120 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4121 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4125 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4126 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4129 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4130 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4131 when using non-blocking I/O.
4132 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4134 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4135 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4137 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4138 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4141 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4142 configuration for the versions before that.
4143 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4145 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4146 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4147 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4148 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4151 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4152 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4153 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4156 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4160 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4161 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4162 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4164 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4165 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4167 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4168 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4169 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4170 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4171 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4172 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4173 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4176 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4177 using a local variable.
4178 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4180 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4181 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4182 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4184 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4187 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4188 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4190 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4191 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4192 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4194 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4196 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4197 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4198 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4199 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4202 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4206 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4207 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4208 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4209 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4210 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4212 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4213 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4214 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4216 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4217 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4218 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4220 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4221 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4222 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4223 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4225 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4226 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4227 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4229 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4231 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4232 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4234 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4236 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4237 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4238 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4239 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4241 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4242 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4243 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4244 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4246 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4247 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4249 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4250 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4251 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4254 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4255 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4256 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4258 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4260 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4261 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4262 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4263 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4264 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4265 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4266 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4269 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4270 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4271 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4272 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4274 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4275 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4276 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4277 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4278 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4279 the client will at least see that alert.
4282 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4286 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4287 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4288 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4290 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4291 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4292 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4293 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4296 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4297 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4298 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4300 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4301 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4302 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4303 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4304 may leak via logfiles.)
4306 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4307 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4308 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4309 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4313 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4314 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4317 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4318 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4319 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4320 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4321 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4324 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4325 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4327 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4328 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4329 followed by modular reduction.
4330 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4332 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4333 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4336 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4337 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4338 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4339 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4342 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4345 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4346 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4349 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4350 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4351 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4352 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4353 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4354 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4356 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4358 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4359 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4360 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4361 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4362 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4364 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4367 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4368 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4369 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4370 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4371 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4372 to allow the necessary settings.
4375 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4376 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4377 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4378 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4381 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4382 dh->length and always used
4384 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4386 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4387 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4388 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4389 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4390 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4395 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4397 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4403 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4404 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4405 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4406 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4408 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4409 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4410 always reject numbers >= n.
4413 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4414 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4415 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4416 variable) is not atomic.
4419 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4420 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4421 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4422 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4424 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4425 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4427 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4429 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4431 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4434 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4436 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4437 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4438 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4439 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4440 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4441 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4442 to traverse all of 'state'.
4444 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4445 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4446 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4448 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4449 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4451 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4452 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4453 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4454 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4455 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4456 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4457 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4458 further strengthens the PRNG.
4461 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4464 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4465 an error message in this case.
4468 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4471 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4472 positive and less than q.
4475 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4476 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4478 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4480 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4481 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4485 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4487 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4488 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4489 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4490 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4491 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4492 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4493 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4496 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4497 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4498 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4499 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4501 Both problems are now fixed.
4504 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4505 (previously it was 1024).
4508 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4509 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4512 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4515 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4516 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4517 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4520 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4521 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4522 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4523 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4524 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4525 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4526 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4527 environment variables.
4529 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4530 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4531 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4534 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4535 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4536 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4537 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4538 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4539 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4542 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4546 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4548 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4549 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4551 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4552 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4553 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4554 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4558 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4559 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4560 amount of data available.
4561 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4562 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4564 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4565 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4566 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4567 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4570 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4571 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4575 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4576 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4577 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4578 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4581 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4584 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4587 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4588 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4590 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4592 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4593 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4594 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4595 (but broken) behaviour.
4598 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4600 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4602 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4603 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4606 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4610 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4611 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4613 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4616 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4617 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4618 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4620 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4621 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4622 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4625 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4626 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4629 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4630 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4632 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4634 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4636 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4637 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4638 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4639 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4642 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4645 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4646 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4647 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4649 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4652 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4654 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4655 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4656 but the code is actually correct.
4659 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4660 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4661 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4662 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4663 and leaves the highest bit random.
4664 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4666 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4667 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4668 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4669 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4670 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4671 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4672 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4675 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4678 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4679 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4682 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4683 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4684 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4685 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4689 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4690 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4691 and break the signature.
4693 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4695 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4699 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4700 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4701 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4702 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4703 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4706 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4707 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4709 *) ./config script fixes.
4710 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4712 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4715 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4716 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4717 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4718 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4719 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4721 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4722 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4725 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4726 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4729 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4730 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4731 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4732 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4734 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4735 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4737 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4738 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4739 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4740 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4741 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4743 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4746 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4749 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4752 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4755 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4756 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4759 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4760 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4761 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4762 result of the server certificate verification.)
4765 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4766 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4767 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4771 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4772 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4773 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4774 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4775 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4776 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4777 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4778 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4781 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4782 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4783 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4784 happening the other way round.
4787 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4788 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4791 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4792 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4793 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4794 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4797 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4798 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4800 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4802 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4803 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4804 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4807 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4809 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4811 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4815 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4817 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4818 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4819 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4820 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4821 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4823 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4824 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4828 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4831 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4833 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4834 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4835 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4836 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4837 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4838 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4839 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4840 by the Finished messages.
4843 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4844 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4846 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4847 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4848 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4849 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4850 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4854 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4855 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4856 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4857 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4858 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4859 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4860 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4861 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4862 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4866 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4867 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4868 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4869 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4871 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4872 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4873 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4874 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4875 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4878 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4879 been tested well enough.
4882 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4883 it can return incorrect results.
4884 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4885 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4888 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4889 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4890 include zero length content when signing messages.
4893 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4894 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4897 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4900 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4904 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4905 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4906 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4907 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4908 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4909 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4912 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4913 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4915 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4916 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4918 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4919 random number < q in the DSA library.
4922 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4923 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4924 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4925 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4926 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4927 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4928 just makes things more complicated.)
4931 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4935 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4936 work better on such systems.
4937 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4939 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4940 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4941 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4944 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4945 if there was more than one signature.
4946 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4948 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4949 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4950 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4951 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4954 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4955 rather than always using the current time.
4958 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4959 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4960 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4961 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4962 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4963 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4965 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4966 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4968 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4970 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4971 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4972 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4973 the same hash value.
4975 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4976 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4977 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4978 with X509_STORE internally.
4980 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4981 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4983 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4984 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4985 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4986 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4987 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4988 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4989 entirely (maybe later...).
4991 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4993 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4994 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4995 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4996 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4997 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4998 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4999 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5000 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5002 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5003 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5005 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5006 to customise the verify behaviour.
5009 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5010 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5013 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5014 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5015 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5016 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5017 request is improperly encoded.
5020 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5021 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5024 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5025 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5027 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5028 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5032 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5033 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5034 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5037 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5038 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5039 BIO/fp routines also added.
5042 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5043 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5045 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5046 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5047 demos/state_machine.
5050 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5051 generation and verification.
5054 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5055 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5056 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5057 encode and decode it manually.
5060 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5062 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5064 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5065 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5066 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5067 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5069 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5070 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5071 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5072 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5073 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5076 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5079 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5080 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5081 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5083 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5084 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5085 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5086 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5087 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5088 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5089 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5090 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5092 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5093 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5095 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5097 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5098 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5099 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5103 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5104 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5105 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5106 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5110 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5112 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5115 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5116 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5117 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5118 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5119 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5120 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5121 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5122 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5123 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5124 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5125 short or long names are found.
5128 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5129 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5131 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5132 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5133 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5134 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5136 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5137 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5138 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5139 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5142 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5143 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5144 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5147 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5148 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5149 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5150 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5151 to allow the various flags to be set.
5154 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5155 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5156 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5157 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5158 dates to be checked.
5161 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5162 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5163 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5166 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5167 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5168 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5171 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5172 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5175 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5176 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5177 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5178 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5179 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5180 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5183 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5184 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5188 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5192 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5193 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5194 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5195 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5196 form signing output easier to verify.
5199 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5202 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5203 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5204 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5205 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5206 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5207 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5208 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5209 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5210 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5211 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5214 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5216 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5217 the syntax given in objects.README.
5218 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5220 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5223 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5224 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5225 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5226 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5227 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5228 consistent name changes.
5231 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5234 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5235 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5236 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5237 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5240 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5241 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5242 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5246 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5247 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5248 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5249 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5252 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5253 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5254 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5255 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5256 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5257 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5258 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5259 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5260 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5261 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5262 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5265 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5266 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5267 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5268 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5269 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5270 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5271 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5272 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5273 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5274 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5277 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5278 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5279 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5280 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5282 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5283 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5284 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5285 omit any duplicate addresses.
5288 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5289 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5292 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5293 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5294 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5295 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5296 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5299 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5301 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5302 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5303 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5304 Free => OPENSSL_free
5307 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5308 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5311 *) CygWin32 support.

5314 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5315 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5316 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5317 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5318 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5322 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5323 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5324 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5325 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5326 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5327 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5328 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5331 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5332 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5333 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5334 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5335 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5336 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5337 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5338 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5339 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5340 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5341 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5344 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5345 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5346 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5347 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5348 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5350 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5351 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5352 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5353 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5354 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5356 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5359 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5360 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5361 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5362 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5364 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5366 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5369 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5370 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5371 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5374 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5375 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5376 any installed hardware versions can.
5379 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5380 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5381 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5385 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5386 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5387 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5388 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5389 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5391 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5392 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5395 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5396 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5399 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5400 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5401 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5405 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5408 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5409 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5410 but no ssl client purpose.
5411 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5413 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5414 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5415 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5416 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5417 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5418 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5419 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5420 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5421 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5422 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5423 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5426 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5427 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5428 be obtained from the error queue.
5431 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5432 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5433 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5434 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5437 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5440 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5441 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5442 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5443 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5444 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5447 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5448 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5449 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5450 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5451 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5454 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5455 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5456 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5458 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5460 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5461 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5462 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5463 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5464 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5465 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5466 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5467 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5468 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5469 or "the configuration storage API"...
5471 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5473 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5474 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5476 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5478 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5480 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5481 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5482 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5483 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5484 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5485 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5486 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5488 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5489 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5492 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5493 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5494 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5495 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5498 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5499 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5500 them in a portable way.
5501 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5503 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5505 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5507 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5508 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5510 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5511 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5512 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5515 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5516 was larger than the MD block size.
5517 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5519 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5520 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5521 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5522 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5526 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5527 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5528 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5530 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5532 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5534 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5535 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5536 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5537 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5538 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5539 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5541 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5542 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5544 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5545 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5548 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5551 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5552 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5554 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5555 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5556 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5557 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5560 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5561 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5562 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5563 does not suppress any output.
5566 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5567 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5568 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5569 with all the associated security issues.
5571 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5572 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5573 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5574 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5575 use the value in the default purpose.
5578 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5579 and fix a memory leak.
5582 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5583 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5584 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5585 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5588 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5589 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5590 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5591 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5594 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5595 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5596 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5599 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5600 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5603 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5604 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5608 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5609 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5612 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5613 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5614 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5617 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5618 number generation fails.
5621 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5624 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5625 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5627 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5630 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5631 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5633 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5634 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5636 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5638 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5639 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5642 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5643 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5645 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5646 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5649 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5650 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5651 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5652 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5653 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5654 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5656 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5657 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5658 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5662 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5663 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5664 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5665 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5666 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5667 counter, some don't.)
5668 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5669 counters or duplicate objects.
5672 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5673 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5676 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5677 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5678 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5680 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5681 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5682 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5686 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5687 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5690 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5691 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5692 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5696 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5697 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5698 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5701 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5702 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5703 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5704 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5705 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5706 should work without changes.
5709 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5710 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5711 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5712 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5713 must be defined. E.g.,
5714 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5715 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5716 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5717 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5719 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5723 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5724 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5725 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5728 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5729 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5730 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5731 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5734 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5735 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5736 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5737 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5738 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5739 is prompted for as usual.
5742 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5743 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5744 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5745 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5747 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5748 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5749 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5750 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5753 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5756 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5760 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5763 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5766 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5770 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5773 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5776 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5777 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5780 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5781 options to produce them.
5784 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5785 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5788 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5792 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5793 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5794 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5795 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5796 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5797 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5798 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5801 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5804 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5805 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5806 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5809 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5810 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5812 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5813 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5816 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5817 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5818 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5822 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5823 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5825 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5826 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5827 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5828 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5829 generation becomes much faster.
5831 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5832 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5833 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5834 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5835 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5836 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5837 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5838 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5839 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5840 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5843 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5844 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5845 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5846 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5847 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5848 trial division stage.
5851 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5855 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5858 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5861 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5862 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5863 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5867 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5868 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5869 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5872 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5873 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5874 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5875 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5877 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5878 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5881 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5884 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5885 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5886 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5887 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5890 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5891 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5892 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5895 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5896 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5897 (instead of parameters) in future.
5900 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5901 when a new cipher list is set.
5904 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5905 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5908 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5909 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5910 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5912 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5913 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5914 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5915 an error is flagged.
5917 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5918 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5919 the readability was also increased :-)
5920 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5922 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5923 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5924 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5925 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5929 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5930 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5933 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5934 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5935 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5936 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5939 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5940 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5941 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5942 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5943 because they handle more complex structures.)
5946 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5947 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5948 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5949 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5951 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5952 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5953 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5954 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5955 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5956 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5957 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5960 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5961 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5962 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5963 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5964 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5967 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5970 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5971 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5972 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5973 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5974 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5977 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5981 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5982 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5983 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5984 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5987 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5990 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5991 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5992 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5993 international characters are used.
5995 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5996 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5997 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6001 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6002 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6003 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6006 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6007 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6008 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6009 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6010 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6011 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6013 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6014 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6015 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6016 be handled by the string table functions.
6018 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6019 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6020 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6021 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6022 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6026 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6027 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6028 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6029 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6030 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6032 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6033 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6034 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6035 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6038 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6039 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6040 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6041 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6042 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6046 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6047 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6048 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6049 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6050 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6051 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6052 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6053 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6055 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6056 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6057 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6060 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6061 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6062 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6063 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6064 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6065 support to pkcs8 application.
6068 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6069 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6070 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6071 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6072 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6073 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6076 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6077 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6078 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6079 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6080 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6084 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6085 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6086 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6087 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6091 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6092 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6093 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6094 and any application specific purposes.
6096 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6097 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6098 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6099 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6100 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6101 if the certificate is self signed.
6104 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6105 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6108 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6109 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6110 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6111 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6114 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6115 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6116 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6117 Update documentation.
6120 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6121 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6122 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6123 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6124 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6127 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6129 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6131 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6132 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6133 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6134 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6135 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6136 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6137 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6138 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6139 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6140 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6142 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6144 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6145 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6146 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6147 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6148 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6150 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6151 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6152 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6153 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6154 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6155 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6156 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6157 request additional information:
6158 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6159 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6161 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6162 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6163 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6166 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6167 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6170 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6173 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6174 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6176 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6177 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6178 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6182 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6183 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6184 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6186 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6187 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6188 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6189 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6190 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6191 included in OpenSSL.
6194 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6195 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6196 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6197 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6198 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6199 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6202 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6206 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6207 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6208 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6209 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6210 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6214 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6218 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6219 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6220 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6221 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6222 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6223 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6224 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6225 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6226 be maintained manually.
6228 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6229 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6230 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6231 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6232 work because people forget to call this function]
6233 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6234 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6235 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6238 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6239 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6240 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6241 should be discouraged from doing it.
6244 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6245 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6246 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6247 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6248 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6249 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6252 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6253 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6254 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6256 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6257 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6258 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6260 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6261 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6262 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6263 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6264 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6265 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6267 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6268 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6269 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6271 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6272 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6275 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6276 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6277 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6278 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6281 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6284 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6285 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6286 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6287 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6288 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6289 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6290 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6291 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6292 keys so we should be OK.
6294 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6295 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6296 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6297 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6298 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6299 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6300 stay in the name of compatibility.
6302 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6303 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6304 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6306 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6307 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6308 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6309 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6310 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6311 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6315 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6316 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6317 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6318 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6319 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6320 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6321 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6322 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6323 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6324 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6325 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6326 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6327 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6330 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6333 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6334 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6335 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6336 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6337 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6338 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6339 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6340 openssl verify ss.pem
6341 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6342 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6346 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6347 (and add it to external session representation).
6348 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6349 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6350 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6351 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6352 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6353 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6355 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6357 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6358 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6359 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6360 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6362 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6363 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6364 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6367 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6368 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6369 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6373 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6374 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6375 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6377 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6378 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6379 certificate auxiliary information.
6382 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6386 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6387 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6388 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6389 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6390 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6391 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6392 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6395 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6396 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6399 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6400 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6401 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6402 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6405 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6408 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6409 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6412 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6413 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6414 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6415 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6416 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6417 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6418 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6419 using the new 'x509' options.
6421 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6422 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6423 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6424 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6428 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6429 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6430 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6431 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6432 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6435 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6436 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6437 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6438 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6439 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6440 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6441 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6442 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6443 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6444 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6447 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6448 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6449 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6450 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6451 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6452 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6453 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6456 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6457 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6458 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6459 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6460 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6461 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6462 openssl.cnf for more info.
6465 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6466 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6467 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6468 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6469 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6470 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6471 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6472 md should be large enough anyway.
6475 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6476 for handling the random seed file.
6478 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6480 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6483 x509 (when signing).
6484 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6485 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6486 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6488 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6489 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6490 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6491 that support '-rand'.
6494 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6495 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6498 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6499 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6502 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6503 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6504 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6505 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6509 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6510 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6511 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6512 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6515 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6516 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6517 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6518 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6519 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6520 print out all the purposes.
6523 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6527 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6528 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6529 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6530 single function call.
6533 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6534 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6537 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6538 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6539 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6542 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6543 when producing the local key id.
6544 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6546 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6547 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6548 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6552 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6553 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6554 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6555 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6558 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6559 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6560 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6561 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6563 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6564 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6565 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6566 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6568 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6569 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6570 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6571 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6572 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6573 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6574 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6575 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6576 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6577 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6578 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6579 trivial: move one line.
6580 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6582 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6583 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6584 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6585 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6586 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6587 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6588 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6589 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6590 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6591 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6592 with an event loop for example.
6595 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6596 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6597 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6598 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6599 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6600 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6601 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6602 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6603 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6606 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6607 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6608 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6609 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6610 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6611 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6614 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6615 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6616 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6617 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6619 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6620 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6621 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6622 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6626 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6627 (still largely untested)
6630 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6631 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6634 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6635 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6638 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6639 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6640 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6643 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6644 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6645 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6646 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6647 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6650 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6653 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6654 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6655 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6656 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6657 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6661 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6662 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6665 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6668 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6669 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6670 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6671 are otherwise ignored at present.
6674 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6675 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6676 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6677 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6678 copied until the next read.
6681 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6682 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6683 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6686 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6687 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6688 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6689 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6690 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6691 associated functions.
6694 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6695 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6696 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6697 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6698 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6699 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6700 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6701 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6702 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6706 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6707 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6708 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6709 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6712 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6713 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6714 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6715 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6716 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6720 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6721 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6725 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6726 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6727 extensions to be obtained and added.
6730 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6731 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6734 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6736 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6737 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6739 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6740 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6742 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6746 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6747 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6748 DH parameters contain its length).
6750 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6751 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6752 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6753 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6754 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6755 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6756 utter importance to use
6757 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6759 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6760 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6761 attacks may become possible!
6764 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6767 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6768 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6771 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6772 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6773 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6777 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6778 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6779 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6780 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6781 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6782 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6783 private key operations.
6786 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6789 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6790 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6792 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6793 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6794 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6795 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6796 the password callback is called.
6797 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6799 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6801 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6802 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6803 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6804 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6805 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6806 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6809 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6810 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6811 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6812 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6813 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6814 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6817 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6820 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6821 delete an unused file.
6824 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6825 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6826 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6827 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6830 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6831 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6832 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6836 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6837 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6838 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6840 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6841 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6842 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6843 comparison" warnings.
6844 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6847 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6848 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6849 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6852 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6853 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6855 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6856 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6858 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6859 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6860 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6862 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6863 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6864 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6865 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6866 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6868 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6870 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6871 The interface is as follows:
6872 Applications can use
6873 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6874 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6875 "off" is now the default.
6876 The library internally uses
6877 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6878 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6879 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6881 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6882 even the default) are now avoided.
6884 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6885 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6886 than just having a counter.
6888 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6890 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6894 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6895 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6896 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6897 Initial "mode" flags are:
6899 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6900 a single record has been written.
6901 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6902 retries use the same buffer location.
6903 (But all of the contents must be
6907 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6910 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6911 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6913 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6914 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6915 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6918 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6919 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6921 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6923 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6924 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6925 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6926 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6928 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6929 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6931 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6932 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6933 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6934 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6935 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6936 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6939 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6940 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6941 necessary function names.
6944 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6945 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6946 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6947 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6950 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6951 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6952 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6955 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6956 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6957 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6958 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6960 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6964 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6965 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6966 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6969 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6970 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6974 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6975 for the encoded length.
6976 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6978 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6981 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6982 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6983 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6984 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6987 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6988 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6989 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6991 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6992 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6993 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6997 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6998 to use the new extension code.
7001 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7002 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7003 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7007 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7008 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7009 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7013 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7016 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7017 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7018 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7021 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7022 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7023 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7024 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7027 *) DES library cleanups.
7030 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7031 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7032 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7033 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7034 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7038 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7039 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7042 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7043 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7044 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7045 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7046 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7047 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7048 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7049 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7050 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7053 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7054 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7055 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7056 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7057 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7058 value doesn't matter.
7061 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7065 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7066 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7067 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7068 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7070 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7073 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7074 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7075 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7077 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7078 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7080 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7083 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7086 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7089 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7093 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7095 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7097 *) Updated some demos.
7098 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7100 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7103 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7106 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7109 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7110 instead of using a fixed path.
7113 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7116 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7120 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7122 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7123 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7124 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7126 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7127 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7128 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7129 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7130 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7131 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7132 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7133 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7134 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7135 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7138 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7139 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7142 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7143 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7144 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7145 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7146 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7148 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7151 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7152 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7153 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7156 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7159 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7160 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7161 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7162 key elements as negative integers.
7165 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7166 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7169 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7171 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7172 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7173 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7176 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7177 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7178 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7179 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7180 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7183 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7186 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7187 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7188 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7189 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7191 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7192 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7193 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7195 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7196 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7197 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7198 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7199 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7200 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7201 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7202 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7203 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7205 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7206 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7207 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7208 does not influence s as it used to.
7210 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7211 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7212 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7213 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7214 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7215 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7218 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7219 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7220 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7224 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7225 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7226 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7230 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7231 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7232 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7236 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7237 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7240 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7241 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7246 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7247 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7249 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7250 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7252 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7255 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7258 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7259 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7261 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7262 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7263 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7267 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7268 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7269 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7270 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7271 now it really counts the depth.
7274 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7275 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7276 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7277 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7278 didn't match the private key).
7280 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7281 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7282 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7285 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7288 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7292 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7293 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7294 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7297 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7300 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7301 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7302 such as /usr/local/bin.
7305 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7306 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7308 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7311 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7312 extension adding in x509 utility.
7315 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7318 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7322 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7325 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7326 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7327 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7328 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7329 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7330 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7331 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7332 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7333 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7334 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7337 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7340 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7341 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7344 *) Fix some race conditions.
7347 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7348 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7351 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7354 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7355 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7356 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7357 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7359 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7360 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7362 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7363 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7364 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7366 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7367 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7369 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7372 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7373 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7375 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7378 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7379 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7381 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7382 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7385 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7386 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7389 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7390 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7393 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7394 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7397 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7398 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7401 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7402 support typesafe stack.
7405 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7406 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7408 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7409 old X509V3 handling code.
7412 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7415 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7418 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7421 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7422 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7424 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7425 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7426 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7427 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7428 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7431 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7432 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7433 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7434 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7435 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7437 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7438 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7439 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7440 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7442 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7443 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7444 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7445 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7447 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7448 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7449 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7450 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7451 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7452 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7455 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7456 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7459 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7460 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7463 *) Tweaks to Configure
7464 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7466 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7470 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7473 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7474 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7477 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7478 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7479 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7482 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7485 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7486 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7489 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7490 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7491 to library startup routines.
7494 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7495 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7496 codes along the way.
7499 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7500 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7501 objects to objects.h
7504 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7505 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7508 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7509 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7511 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7512 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7513 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7515 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7516 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7517 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7519 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7520 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7521 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7524 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7526 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7527 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7530 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7531 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7532 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7533 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7534 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7536 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7537 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7538 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7540 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7542 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7544 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7546 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7547 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7549 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7550 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7551 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7552 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7554 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7557 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7558 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7559 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7560 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7563 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7564 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7565 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7568 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7569 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7570 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7571 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7572 installed as `perl').
7573 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7575 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7576 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7578 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7579 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7580 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7581 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7582 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7585 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7588 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7589 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7590 is horrible: I feel ill....
7593 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7594 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7595 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7596 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7599 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7600 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7602 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7603 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7604 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7605 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7607 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7608 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7609 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7610 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7611 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7612 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7614 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7616 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7617 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7619 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7620 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7622 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7625 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7626 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7630 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7631 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7632 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7633 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7634 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7635 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7636 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7637 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7638 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7639 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7640 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7642 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7645 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7646 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7647 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7648 for linking it into DSOs.
7649 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7651 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7655 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7656 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7657 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7658 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7659 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7660 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7662 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7663 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7664 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7665 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7666 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7667 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7668 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7670 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7671 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7672 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7676 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7677 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7678 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7679 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7682 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7683 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7684 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7685 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7686 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7690 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7691 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7692 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7693 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7696 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7697 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7698 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7700 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7701 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7703 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7704 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7705 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7706 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7707 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7710 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7711 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7712 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7713 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7714 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7715 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7716 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7719 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7721 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7722 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7725 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7726 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7728 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7729 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7732 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7733 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7734 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7735 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7736 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7738 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7739 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7740 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7741 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7742 no way to reconfigure them.
7743 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7744 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7745 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7746 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7747 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7748 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7750 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7751 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7752 recognized by the users.
7753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7755 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7756 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7757 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7758 already masked variable.
7759 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7761 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7762 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7764 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7765 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7766 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7767 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7769 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7770 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7771 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7773 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7774 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7775 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7776 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7777 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7778 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7779 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7780 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7782 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7784 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7785 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7786 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7788 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7789 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7793 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7794 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7796 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7797 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7798 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7799 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7802 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7805 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7806 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7808 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7811 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7812 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7815 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7816 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7819 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7820 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7821 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7822 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7823 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7824 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7825 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7828 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7829 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7831 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7832 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7833 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7834 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7835 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7837 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7838 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7839 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7842 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7843 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7847 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7848 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7849 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7851 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7852 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7853 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7857 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7858 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7859 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7860 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7863 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7864 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7865 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7866 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7869 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7870 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7871 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7872 so it wasn't spotted.
7873 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7875 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7876 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7877 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7878 vectors if you have them.
7881 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7882 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7885 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7886 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7887 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7888 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7890 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7891 it will update them.
7894 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7895 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7896 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7897 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7898 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7899 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7900 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7901 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7903 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7904 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7905 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7906 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7907 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7908 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7909 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7910 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7911 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7912 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7914 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7915 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7916 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7917 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7918 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7921 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7925 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7926 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7928 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7929 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7931 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7932 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7935 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7936 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7938 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7939 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7941 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7944 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7948 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7949 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7950 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7951 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7953 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7956 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7959 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7962 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7963 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7966 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7967 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7971 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7972 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7975 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7976 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7977 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7980 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7981 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7982 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7983 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7984 properly to be processed.
7987 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7988 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7989 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7992 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7993 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7995 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7996 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7997 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7998 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7999 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8000 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8001 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8002 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8003 or delete all the .err files.
8006 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8007 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8008 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8009 to regenerate it if needed.
8010 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8011 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8013 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8014 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8016 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8017 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8018 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8019 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8020 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8023 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8024 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8026 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8027 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8029 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8030 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8031 error, but didn't set one).
8032 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8034 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8037 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8038 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8041 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8042 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8044 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8045 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8046 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8047 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8048 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8049 OID is not part of the table.
8052 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8053 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8056 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8059 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8060 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8064 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8065 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8067 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8069 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8071 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8072 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8074 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8075 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8077 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8078 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8080 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8081 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8084 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8085 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8088 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8089 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8091 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8092 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8094 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8095 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8097 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8098 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8100 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8101 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8102 unused in the certificate verification process.
8103 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8105 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8106 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8109 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8110 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8111 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8113 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8114 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8115 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8116 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8117 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8119 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8120 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8123 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8126 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8129 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8130 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8132 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8135 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8138 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8141 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8142 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8143 other error libraries.
8146 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8149 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8150 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8154 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8155 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8156 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8157 the new set of documenation files.
8158 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8160 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8161 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8162 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8163 number of arguments.
8164 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8166 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8169 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8170 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8171 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8173 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8176 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8180 unixware-2.0-pentium
8184 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8185 before they are needed.
8188 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8192 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8194 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8195 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8196 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8198 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8201 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8202 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8203 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8205 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8206 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8207 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8209 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8210 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8213 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8214 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8216 *) Updated the README file.
8217 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8219 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8220 to make a "cvs update" really silent.

8241 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8243 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8246 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8247 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8248 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8250 [The OpenSSL Project]
8253 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8255 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8258 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8261 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8262 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8265 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8266 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8270 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8272 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8274 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8277 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8280 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8283 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8286 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8289 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8292 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8295 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8298 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8301 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8304 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8307 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8310 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8313 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8316 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8319 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8322 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8325 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8326 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8327 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8330 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8331 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8334 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8337 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8340 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8341 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8344 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8347 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8350 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8351 bytes sent in the client random.
