5 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
8 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
9 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
10 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
11 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
12 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
13 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
16 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
17 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
18 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
19 these have been updated also.
22 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
23 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
24 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
25 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
26 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
30 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
31 structure of type "other".
34 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
35 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
36 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
37 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
38 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
39 situation in the script.
42 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
43 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
44 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
45 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
46 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
47 used as premaster secret.
48 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
50 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
51 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
52 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
54 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
55 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
57 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
58 control of the error stack.
61 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
64 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
65 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
66 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
67 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
70 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
71 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
72 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
75 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
76 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
77 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
81 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
82 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
83 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
84 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
87 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
88 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
89 the following flags are defined:
91 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
92 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
93 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
96 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
97 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
98 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
99 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
103 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
104 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
105 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
106 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
107 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
110 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
111 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
112 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
115 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
116 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
117 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
118 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
119 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
120 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
123 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
127 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
130 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
133 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
136 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
137 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
138 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
139 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
142 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
143 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
144 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
145 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
146 default implementation more easily.
149 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
153 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
154 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
157 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
158 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
159 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
160 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
162 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
163 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
164 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
168 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
169 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
173 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
174 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
175 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
176 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
177 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
179 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
181 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
182 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
183 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
187 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
188 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
189 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
190 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
191 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
192 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
193 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
194 linker additions, eg;
195 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
198 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
199 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
200 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
203 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
204 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
205 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
209 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
210 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
211 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
212 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
215 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
216 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
217 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
218 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
219 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
220 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
221 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
222 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
223 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
224 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
226 Example for using the new callback interface:
228 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
232 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
234 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
235 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
236 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
237 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
238 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
239 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
244 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
245 available to TLS with the number defined in
246 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
249 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
250 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
252 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
253 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
254 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
255 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
257 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
258 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
260 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
261 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
265 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
266 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
269 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
272 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
273 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
275 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
276 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
278 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
279 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
280 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
282 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
284 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
287 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
288 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
289 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
290 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
292 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
293 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
294 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
295 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
296 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
297 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
298 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
299 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
301 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
302 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
305 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
306 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
308 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
309 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
310 files while avoiding the low level API.
312 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
313 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
314 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
315 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
317 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
318 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
319 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
320 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
321 instead of the low level API.
324 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
325 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
326 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
327 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
328 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
331 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
332 down to the template encoder.
335 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
336 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
339 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
340 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
341 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
342 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
344 *) Add ECDH engine support.
345 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
347 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
348 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
350 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
351 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
354 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
355 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
356 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
359 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
360 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
362 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
363 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
365 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
366 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
369 EC_GF2m_simple_method
373 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
374 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
375 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
376 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
377 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
378 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
380 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
381 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
384 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
385 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
386 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
387 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
388 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
389 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
390 various internal method names.)
392 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
393 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
395 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
396 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
398 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
399 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
401 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
402 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
403 methods are undefined.
405 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
406 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
408 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
409 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
410 length of the modulus.
412 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
413 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
415 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
416 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
418 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
419 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
421 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
422 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
423 used) in the following functions [macros]:
426 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
427 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
428 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
429 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
431 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
432 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
433 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
434 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
436 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
437 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
439 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
440 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
441 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
442 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
443 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
445 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
446 This applies to the following functions:
451 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
452 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
455 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
459 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
464 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
466 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
467 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
468 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
469 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
470 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
472 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
473 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
475 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
476 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
477 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
479 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
480 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
482 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
483 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
484 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
485 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
486 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
488 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
490 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
491 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
492 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
493 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
494 These control ASN1 encoding details:
495 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
496 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
497 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
498 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
499 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
500 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
501 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
503 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
507 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
508 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
509 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
511 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
512 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
513 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
514 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
521 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
522 EC_POINT_oct2point().
523 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
525 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
526 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
527 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
529 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
530 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
531 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
532 adding different types of curves.
533 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
535 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
536 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
537 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
540 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
541 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
543 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
544 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
545 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
546 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
548 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
550 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
551 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
553 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
554 library. Most notably,
555 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
556 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
557 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
558 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
559 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
560 extracted before the specific public key;
561 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
562 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
564 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
565 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
567 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
568 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
569 EC_get_builtin_curves().
570 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
574 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
576 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
577 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
578 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
579 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
580 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
581 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
585 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [xx XXX XXXX]
586 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
589 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
591 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
593 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
594 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
596 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
598 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
599 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
603 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
604 exiting on the first error in a request.
607 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
608 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
612 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
613 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
614 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
615 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
617 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
618 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
621 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
622 blocks during encryption.
625 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
626 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
627 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
628 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
632 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
633 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
634 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
635 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
636 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
640 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
642 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
643 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
644 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
645 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
648 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
649 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
650 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
651 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
652 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
654 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
655 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
656 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
657 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
658 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
659 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
660 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
661 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
662 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
665 yet to be integrated into this CVS branch:
666 - Geoff's ENGINE_set_default() fix
668 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
669 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
672 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
674 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
675 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
676 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
677 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
678 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
680 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
681 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
682 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
684 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
685 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
686 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
687 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
688 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
690 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
691 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
692 used by default when no-err is given.
695 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
696 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
698 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
699 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
700 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
701 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
702 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
704 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
705 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
706 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
707 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
709 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
711 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
713 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
715 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
716 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
717 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
718 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
722 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
723 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
725 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
726 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
729 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
730 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
731 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
732 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
735 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
736 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
737 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
738 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
739 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
740 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
744 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
745 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
748 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
749 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
750 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
751 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
753 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
755 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
758 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
759 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
760 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
761 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
763 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
767 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
768 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
772 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
773 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
774 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
775 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
776 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
777 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
779 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
780 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
781 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
782 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
783 have to be made anyway).
786 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
787 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
788 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
791 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
792 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
793 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
796 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
797 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
798 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
800 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
801 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
802 edit numbers of the version.
803 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
805 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
806 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
807 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
809 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
812 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
813 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
816 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
819 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
822 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
825 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
828 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
832 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
833 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
836 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
837 representations in a platform independent manner.
840 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
841 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
844 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
848 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
851 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
855 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
856 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
859 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
863 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
866 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
869 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
872 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
875 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
879 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
882 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
885 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
886 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
890 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
891 the 0.9.6 release series:
893 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
894 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
898 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
901 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
902 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
904 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
905 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
907 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
908 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
909 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
910 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
912 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
913 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
914 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
916 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
917 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
918 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
919 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
921 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
922 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
923 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
926 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
927 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
928 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
929 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
930 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
931 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
932 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
933 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
936 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
937 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
938 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
941 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
942 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
943 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
944 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
945 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
947 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
948 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
950 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
951 error in AES-CFB decryption.
954 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
955 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
956 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
957 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
958 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
959 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
962 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
963 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
964 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
967 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
968 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
971 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
972 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
973 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
974 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
975 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
976 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
977 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
980 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
981 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
982 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
983 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
984 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
985 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
988 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
989 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
990 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
991 declaration has been changed from
994 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
995 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
996 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
997 has been changed into
998 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1000 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1001 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1002 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1004 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1005 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1007 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1008 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1009 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1010 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1011 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1012 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1013 always load it have also been added.
1016 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1017 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1018 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1020 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1022 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1023 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1024 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1026 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1027 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1028 command line option can be used to specify an
1032 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1033 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1036 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1037 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1038 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1041 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1042 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1043 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1044 to work with the new engine framework.
1045 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1047 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1048 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1049 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1050 to work with the new engine framework.
1053 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1054 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1055 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1057 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1058 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1060 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1061 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1062 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1063 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1065 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1067 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1068 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1070 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1071 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1073 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1074 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1075 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1078 *) Add new functions
1080 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1081 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1082 These are similar to
1085 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1086 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1087 still in the error queue.
1088 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1090 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1092 default_algorithms = ALL
1093 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1096 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1099 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1102 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1103 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1104 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1105 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1107 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1108 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1110 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1111 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1113 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1114 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1117 *) New functions/macros
1119 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1120 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1121 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1122 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1124 to request calling a callback function
1126 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1127 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1129 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1130 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1131 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1132 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1133 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1134 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1135 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1136 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1137 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1138 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1140 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1141 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1144 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1145 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1146 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1147 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1148 the configuration scripts.
1150 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1151 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1152 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1154 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1155 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1157 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1158 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1159 when reusing an existing buffer.
1162 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1163 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1166 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1167 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1170 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1171 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1172 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1173 has the same effect.
1174 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1176 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1177 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1178 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1179 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1180 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1181 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1184 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1185 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1186 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1187 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1189 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1190 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1191 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1192 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1194 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1195 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1198 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1199 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1200 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1201 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1202 default), and then completely removed.
1205 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1206 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1207 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1208 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1209 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1210 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1211 particular extension is supported.
1214 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1215 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1218 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1219 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1220 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1221 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1222 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1223 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1224 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1225 requires the destination to be valid.
1227 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1228 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1231 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1232 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1233 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1236 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1237 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1239 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1240 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1241 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1242 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1243 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1244 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1245 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1246 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1247 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1248 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1249 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1250 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1251 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1252 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1253 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1254 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1255 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1256 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1257 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1261 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1264 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1265 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1266 become part of libeay.num as well.
1269 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1270 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1271 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1272 false once a handshake has been completed.
1273 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1274 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1275 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1276 client has followed the request.)
1279 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1280 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1281 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1282 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1284 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1285 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1286 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1289 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1292 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1293 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1294 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1297 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1298 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1301 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1302 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1303 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1304 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1307 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1308 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1309 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1310 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1311 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1312 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1315 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1316 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1317 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1318 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1319 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1320 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1321 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1322 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1325 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1326 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1329 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1332 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1333 md_data void pointer.
1336 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1337 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1338 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1339 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1340 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1341 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1344 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1345 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1346 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1347 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1348 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1349 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1350 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1351 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1352 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1353 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1354 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1355 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1356 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1357 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1358 rather than letting it slide.
1360 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1361 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1362 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1365 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1366 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1367 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1368 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1369 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1370 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1371 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1372 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1373 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1376 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1377 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1378 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1379 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1380 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1382 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1385 *) Add EVP test program.
1388 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1391 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1392 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1393 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1394 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1395 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1398 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1399 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1400 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1401 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1402 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1403 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1404 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1406 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1407 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1408 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1413 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1414 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1415 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1416 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1417 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1421 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1422 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1423 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1424 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1427 des_key_schedule ks;
1429 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1430 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1432 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1435 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1436 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1437 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1438 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1439 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1440 functions prevents this.
1443 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1446 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1447 correct _ecb suffix.
1450 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1451 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1452 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1453 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1454 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1457 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1460 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1461 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1462 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1463 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1465 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1466 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1468 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1469 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1470 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1471 via Richard Levitte]
1473 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1474 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1475 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1476 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1479 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1482 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

1497 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1498 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1500 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1501 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1502 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1503 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1504 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1505 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1508 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1509 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1512 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1513 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1514 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1515 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1517 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1518 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1519 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1520 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1521 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1522 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1526 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1527 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1528 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1529 and interrupts/cancellations.
1532 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1533 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1536 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1537 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1538 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1540 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1541 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1545 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1546 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1547 than this minimum value is recommended.
1550 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1551 that are easily reachable.
1554 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1555 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1557 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1559 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1560 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1561 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1562 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1565 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1566 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1567 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1570 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1571 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1572 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1573 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1574 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1575 internally such as S/MIME.
1577 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1578 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1579 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1581 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1585 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1586 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1587 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1588 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1590 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1592 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1594 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1595 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1596 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1600 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1601 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1602 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1603 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1604 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1605 a window system and the like.
1608 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1609 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1612 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1613 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1614 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1615 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1616 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1617 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1618 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1619 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1620 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1624 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1625 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1629 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1630 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1631 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1632 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1633 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1634 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1635 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1636 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1639 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1640 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1641 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1642 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1643 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1644 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1645 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1646 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1647 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1648 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1649 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1650 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1651 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1652 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1653 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1654 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1655 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1658 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1659 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1660 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1661 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1662 internal engine_int.h header.
1665 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1666 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1667 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1668 modify their own ones).
1671 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1672 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1673 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1674 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1675 later on via ctrl() commands.
1676 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1677 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1678 structural references.
1679 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1680 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1681 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1682 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1683 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1684 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1685 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1686 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1687 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1688 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1689 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1690 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1693 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1694 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1695 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1696 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1697 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1698 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1699 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1700 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1703 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1704 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1707 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1708 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1711 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1712 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1713 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1714 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1715 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1716 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1717 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1720 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1721 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1722 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1723 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1724 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1726 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1727 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1731 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1733 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1734 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1735 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1737 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1738 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1740 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1741 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1742 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1744 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1745 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1747 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1748 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1750 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1752 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1753 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1754 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1757 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1758 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1761 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1762 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1763 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1764 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1765 is 40 of more characters long.
1768 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1769 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1773 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1774 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1777 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1778 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1782 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1784 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1785 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1788 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1790 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1791 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1792 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1794 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1795 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1797 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1800 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1804 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1805 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1806 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1807 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1809 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1811 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1812 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1814 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1815 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1816 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1817 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1818 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1819 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1821 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1822 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1824 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1825 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1827 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1828 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1830 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1831 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1832 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1833 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1835 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1836 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1838 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1839 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1841 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1842 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1843 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1844 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1845 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1848 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1849 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1850 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1851 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1854 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1855 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1856 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1860 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1861 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1862 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1863 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1864 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1865 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1866 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1867 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1871 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1872 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1875 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1876 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1877 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1878 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1881 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1882 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1883 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1884 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1885 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1886 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1887 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1888 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1889 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1890 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1893 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1894 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1895 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1896 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1897 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1898 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1899 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1900 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1902 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1903 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1904 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1905 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1908 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1909 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1910 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1911 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1913 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1914 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1915 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1916 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1917 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1921 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1922 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1923 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1924 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1928 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1929 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1930 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1933 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1934 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1935 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1936 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1937 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1940 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1943 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1944 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1945 option to ocsp utility.
1948 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1949 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1950 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1951 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1952 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1953 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1954 the request is nonce-less.
1957 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1958 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1959 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1962 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1963 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1964 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1967 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1968 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1969 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1970 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1971 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1974 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1975 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1979 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1980 additional certificates supplied.
1983 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1984 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1988 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1989 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1992 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1993 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1994 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1995 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1996 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1997 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1998 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1999 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2000 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2002 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2003 request to response.
2006 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2007 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2008 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2009 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2010 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2011 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2012 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2013 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2014 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2015 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2016 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2019 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2020 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2021 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2022 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2025 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2026 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2028 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2029 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2030 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2033 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2034 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2035 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2036 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2037 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2039 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2040 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2041 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2044 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2045 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2046 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2047 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2048 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2049 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2050 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2051 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2053 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2054 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2055 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2056 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2057 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2058 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2061 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2062 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2063 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2064 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2065 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2066 printout format cleaned up.
2069 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2070 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2071 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2072 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2073 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2074 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2075 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2076 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2079 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2080 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2081 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2082 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2083 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2084 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2085 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2086 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2089 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2090 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2091 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2092 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2094 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2096 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2097 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2098 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2099 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2102 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2103 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2104 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2105 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2107 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2109 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2110 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2111 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2112 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2114 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2115 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2117 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2118 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2119 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2122 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2123 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2124 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2127 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2128 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2129 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2130 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2131 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2132 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2133 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2134 functions are provided:
2136 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2137 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2138 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2139 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2141 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2142 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2143 extended allocation function is enabled.
2144 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2145 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2146 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2148 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2149 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2150 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2151 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2152 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2155 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2156 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2157 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2159 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2160 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2161 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2164 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2165 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2166 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2167 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2168 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2169 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2170 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2171 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2172 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2175 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2176 provide utility functions which an application needing
2177 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2178 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2179 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2181 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2182 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2183 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2184 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2185 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2186 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2187 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2188 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2189 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2191 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2192 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2193 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2194 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2197 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2198 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2199 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2200 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2201 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2202 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2203 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2204 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2205 will be added elsewhere.
2208 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2209 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2210 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2211 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2214 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2215 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2216 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2217 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2218 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2219 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2220 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2221 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2222 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2223 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2224 to produce the required SET OF.
2227 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2228 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2229 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2232 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2233 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2234 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2235 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2236 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2237 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2240 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2241 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2242 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2245 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2246 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2247 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2250 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2251 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2252 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2253 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2254 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2257 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2258 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2261 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2262 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2263 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2264 certifcates and CRLs.
2267 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2268 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2269 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2272 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2273 entries for variables.
2276 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2277 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2278 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2279 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2282 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2283 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2284 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2285 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2286 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2287 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2290 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2291 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2293 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2294 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2295 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2298 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2302 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2303 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2304 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2305 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2306 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2307 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2310 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2313 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2314 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2315 for now but they will eventually go away.
2318 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2319 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2320 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2321 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2322 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2323 has also been converted to the new form.
2326 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2327 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2328 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2329 for negative moduli.
2332 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2333 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2336 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2340 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2341 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2342 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2343 type-specific callbacks.
2346 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2348 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2349 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2351 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2352 in sections depending on the subject.
2355 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2359 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2360 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2361 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2362 be handled deterministically).
2363 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2365 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2366 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2367 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2370 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2373 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2374 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2375 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2376 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2377 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2380 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2381 sign of the number in question.
2383 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2385 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2386 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2387 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2388 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2389 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2392 *) New function BN_swap.
2395 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2396 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2397 results on negative inputs.
2400 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2401 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2402 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2405 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2406 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2407 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2408 and add new functions:
2417 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2421 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2423 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2424 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2426 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2427 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2428 be reduced modulo m.
2429 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2432 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2433 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2434 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2436 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2437 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2438 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2439 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2440 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2441 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2446 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2447 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2448 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2449 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2450 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2452 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2453 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2454 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2458 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2461 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2462 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2465 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2466 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2467 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2468 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2472 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2475 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2478 *) Add the following functions:
2480 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2482 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2484 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2486 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2487 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2488 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2489 libraries unless it's really needed.
2491 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2492 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2493 declarations (they differed!).
2496 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2499 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2502 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2505 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2506 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2509 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2510 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2511 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2513 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2514 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2517 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2520 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2523 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2526 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2527 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2528 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2530 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2531 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2532 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2533 different shared library filenames on each system.
2536 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2539 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2540 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2541 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2543 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2546 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2547 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2548 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2549 binary backward compatibility.
2550 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2551 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2552 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2556 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2557 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2558 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2559 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2563 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2566 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2567 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2568 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2569 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2573 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2576 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2578 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2580 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2581 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2583 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2584 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2588 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2590 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2591 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2593 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2594 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2598 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2599 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2603 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2604 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2605 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2606 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2608 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2609 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2612 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2614 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2615 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2616 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2617 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2620 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2621 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2622 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2623 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2624 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2626 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2627 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2628 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2629 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2630 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2631 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2632 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2633 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2634 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2637 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2639 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2640 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2641 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2642 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2643 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2645 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2646 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2647 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2649 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2651 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2652 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2653 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2654 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2655 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2656 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2659 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2660 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2661 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2662 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2663 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2666 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2667 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2668 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2670 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2671 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2672 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2676 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2677 being properly terminated.
2680 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2681 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2682 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2683 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2685 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2686 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2687 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2688 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2689 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2690 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2691 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2693 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2695 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2696 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2699 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2700 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2701 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2702 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2703 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2704 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2705 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2706 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2708 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2709 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2710 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2711 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2712 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2714 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2715 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2718 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2720 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2721 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2722 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2724 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2726 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2727 and get fix the header length calculation.
2728 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2729 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2732 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2733 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2734 assertions could call abort()).
2735 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2737 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2739 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2740 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2741 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2743 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2745 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2746 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2747 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2750 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2754 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2755 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2756 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2758 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2759 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2760 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2761 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2762 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2766 *) Changes in security patch:
2768 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2769 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2770 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2773 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2774 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2775 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2776 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2777 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2779 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2781 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2783 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2784 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2785 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2787 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2788 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2789 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2791 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2792 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2793 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2795 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2797 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2798 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2799 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2801 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2802 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2804 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2805 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2806 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2807 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2808 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2809 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2812 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2813 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2814 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2815 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2818 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2821 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2822 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2823 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2824 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2825 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2826 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2828 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2829 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2830 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2831 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2832 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2835 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2836 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2837 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2838 BN_generate_prime().)
2840 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2841 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2842 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2846 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2847 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2850 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2851 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2852 when using non-blocking I/O.
2853 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2855 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2856 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2858 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2859 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2862 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2863 configuration for the versions before that.
2864 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2866 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2867 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2868 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2869 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2872 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2873 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2874 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2877 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2881 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2882 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2883 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2885 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2886 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2888 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2889 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2890 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2891 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2892 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2893 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2894 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2897 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2898 using a local variable.
2899 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2901 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2902 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2903 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2905 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2908 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2909 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2911 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2912 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2913 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2915 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2917 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2918 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2919 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2920 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2923 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2927 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2928 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2929 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2930 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2931 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2933 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2934 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2935 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2937 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2938 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2939 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2941 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2942 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2943 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2944 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2946 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2947 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2948 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2950 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2952 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2953 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2955 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2957 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2958 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2959 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2960 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2962 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2963 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2964 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2965 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2967 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2968 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2970 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2971 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2972 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2975 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2976 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2977 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2979 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2981 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2982 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2983 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2984 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2985 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2986 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2987 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2990 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2991 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2992 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2993 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2995 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2996 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2997 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2998 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2999 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3000 the client will at least see that alert.
3003 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3007 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3008 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3009 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3011 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3012 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3013 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3014 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3017 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3018 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3019 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3021 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3022 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3023 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3024 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3025 may leak via logfiles.)
3027 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3028 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3029 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3030 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3034 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3035 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3038 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3039 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3040 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3041 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3042 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3045 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3046 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3048 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3049 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3050 followed by modular reduction.
3051 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3053 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3054 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3057 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3058 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3059 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3060 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3063 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3066 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3067 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3070 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3071 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3072 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3073 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3074 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3075 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3077 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3079 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3080 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3081 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3082 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3083 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3085 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3088 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3089 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3090 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3091 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3092 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3093 to allow the necessary settings.
3096 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3097 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3098 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3099 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3102 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3103 dh->length and always used
3105 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3107 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3108 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3109 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3110 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3111 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3116 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3118 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3124 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3125 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3126 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3127 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3129 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3130 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3131 always reject numbers >= n.
3134 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3135 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3136 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3137 variable) is not atomic.
3140 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3141 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3142 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3143 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3145 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3146 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3148 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3150 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3152 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3155 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3157 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3158 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3159 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3160 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3161 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3162 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3163 to traverse all of 'state'.
3165 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3166 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3167 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3169 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3170 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3172 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3173 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3174 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3175 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3176 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3177 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3178 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3179 further strengthens the PRNG.
3182 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3185 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3186 an error message in this case.
3189 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3192 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3193 positive and less than q.
3196 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3197 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3199 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3201 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3202 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3206 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3208 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3209 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3210 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3211 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3212 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3213 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3214 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3217 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3218 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3219 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3220 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3222 Both problems are now fixed.
3225 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3226 (previously it was 1024).
3229 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3230 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3233 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3236 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3237 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3238 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3241 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3242 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3243 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3244 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3245 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3246 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3247 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3248 environment variables.
3250 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3251 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3252 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3255 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3256 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3257 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3258 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3259 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3260 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3263 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3267 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3269 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3270 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3272 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3273 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3274 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3275 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3279 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3280 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3281 amount of data available.
3282 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3283 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3285 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3286 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3287 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3288 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3291 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3292 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3296 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3297 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3298 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3299 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3302 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3305 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3308 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3309 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3311 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3313 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3314 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3315 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3316 (but broken) behaviour.
3319 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3321 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3323 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3324 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3327 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3331 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3332 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3334 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3337 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3338 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3339 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3341 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3342 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3343 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3346 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3347 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3350 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3351 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3353 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3355 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3357 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3358 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3359 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3360 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3363 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3366 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3367 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3368 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3370 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3373 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3375 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3376 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3377 but the code is actually correct.
3380 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3381 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3382 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3383 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3384 and leaves the highest bit random.
3385 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3387 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3388 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3389 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3390 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3391 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3392 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3393 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3396 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3399 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3400 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3403 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3404 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3405 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3406 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3410 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3411 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3412 and break the signature.
3414 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3416 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3420 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3421 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3422 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3423 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3424 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3427 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3428 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3430 *) ./config script fixes.
3431 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3433 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3436 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3437 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3438 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3439 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3440 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3442 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3443 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3446 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3447 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3450 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3451 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3452 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3453 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3455 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3456 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3458 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3459 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3460 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3461 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3462 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3464 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3467 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3470 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3473 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3476 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3477 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3480 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3481 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3482 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3483 result of the server certificate verification.)
3486 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3487 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3488 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3492 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3493 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3494 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3495 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3496 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3497 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3498 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3499 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3502 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3503 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3504 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3505 happening the other way round.
3508 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3509 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3512 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3513 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3514 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3515 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3518 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3519 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3521 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3523 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3524 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3525 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3528 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3530 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3532 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3536 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3538 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3539 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3540 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3541 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3542 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3544 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3545 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3549 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3552 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3554 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3555 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3556 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3557 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3558 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3559 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3560 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3561 by the Finished messages.
3564 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3565 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3567 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3568 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3569 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3570 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3571 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3575 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3576 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3577 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3578 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3579 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3580 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3581 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3582 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3583 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3587 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3588 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3589 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3590 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3592 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3593 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3594 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3595 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3596 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3599 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3600 been tested well enough.
3603 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3604 it can return incorrect results.
3605 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3606 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3609 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3610 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3611 include zero length content when signing messages.
3614 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3615 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3618 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3621 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3625 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3626 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3627 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3628 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3629 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3630 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3633 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3634 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3636 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3637 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3639 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3640 random number < q in the DSA library.
3643 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3644 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3645 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3646 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3647 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3648 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3649 just makes things more complicated.)
3652 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3656 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3657 work better on such systems.
3658 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3660 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3661 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3662 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3665 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3666 if there was more than one signature.
3667 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3669 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3670 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3671 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3672 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3675 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3676 rather than always using the current time.
3679 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3680 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3681 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3682 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3683 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3684 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3686 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3687 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3689 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3691 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3692 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3693 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3694 the same hash value.
3696 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3697 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3698 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3699 with X509_STORE internally.
3701 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3702 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3704 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3705 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3706 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3707 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3708 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3709 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3710 entirely (maybe later...).
3712 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3714 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3715 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3716 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3717 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3718 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3719 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3720 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3721 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3723 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3724 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3726 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3727 to customise the verify behaviour.
3730 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3731 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3734 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3735 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3736 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3737 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3738 request is improperly encoded.
3741 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3742 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3745 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3746 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3748 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3749 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3753 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3754 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3755 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3758 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3759 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3760 BIO/fp routines also added.
3763 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3764 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3766 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3767 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3768 demos/state_machine.
3771 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3772 generation and verification.
3775 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3776 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3777 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3778 encode and decode it manually.
3781 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3783 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3785 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3786 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3787 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3788 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3790 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3791 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3792 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3793 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3794 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3797 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3800 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3801 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3802 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3804 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3805 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3806 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3807 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3808 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3809 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3810 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3811 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3813 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3814 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3816 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3818 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3819 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3820 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3824 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3825 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3826 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3827 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3831 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3833 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3836 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3837 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3838 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3839 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3840 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3841 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3842 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3843 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3844 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3845 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3846 short or long names are found.
3849 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3850 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3852 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3853 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3854 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3855 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3857 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3858 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3859 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3860 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3863 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3864 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3865 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3868 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3869 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3870 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3871 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3872 to allow the various flags to be set.
3875 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3876 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3877 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3878 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3879 dates to be checked.
3882 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3883 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3884 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3887 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3888 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3889 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3892 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3893 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3896 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3897 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3898 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3899 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3900 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3901 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3904 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3905 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3909 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3913 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3914 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3915 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3916 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3917 form signing output easier to verify.
3920 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3923 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3924 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3925 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3926 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3927 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3928 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3929 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3930 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3931 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3932 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3935 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3937 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3938 the syntax given in objects.README.
3939 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3941 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3944 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3945 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3946 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3947 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3948 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3949 consistent name changes.
3952 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3955 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3956 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3957 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3958 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3961 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3962 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3963 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3967 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3968 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3969 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3970 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3973 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3974 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3975 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3976 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3977 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3978 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3979 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3980 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3981 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3982 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3983 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3986 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3987 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3988 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3989 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3990 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3991 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3992 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3993 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3994 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3995 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3998 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3999 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4000 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4001 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4003 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4004 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4005 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4006 omit any duplicate addresses.
4009 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4010 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4013 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4014 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4015 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4016 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4017 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4020 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4022 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4023 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4024 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4025 Free => OPENSSL_free
4028 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4029 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4032 *) CygWin32 support.
4033 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4035 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4036 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4037 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4038 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4039 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4043 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4044 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4045 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4046 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4047 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4048 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4049 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4052 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4053 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4054 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4055 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4056 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4057 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4058 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4059 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4060 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4061 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4062 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4065 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4066 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4067 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4068 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4069 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4071 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4072 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4073 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4074 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4075 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4077 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4080 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4081 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4082 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4083 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4085 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4087 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4090 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4091 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4092 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4095 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4096 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4097 any installed hardware versions can.
4100 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4101 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4102 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4106 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4107 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4108 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4109 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4110 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4112 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4113 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4116 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4117 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4120 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4121 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4122 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4126 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4129 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4130 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4131 but no ssl client purpose.
4132 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4134 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4135 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4136 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4137 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4138 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4139 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4140 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4141 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4142 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4143 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4144 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4147 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4148 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4149 be obtained from the error queue.
4152 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4153 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4154 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4155 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4158 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4161 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4162 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4163 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4164 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4165 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4168 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4169 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4170 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4171 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4172 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4175 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4176 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4177 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4179 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4181 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4182 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4183 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4184 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4185 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4186 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4187 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4188 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4189 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4190 or "the configuration storage API"...
4192 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4194 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4195 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4197 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4199 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4201 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4202 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4203 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4204 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4205 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4206 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4207 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4209 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4210 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4213 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4214 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4215 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4216 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4219 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4220 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4221 them in a portable way.
4222 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4224 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4226 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4228 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4229 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4231 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4232 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4233 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4236 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4237 was larger than the MD block size.
4238 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4240 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4241 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4242 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4243 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4247 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4248 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4249 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4251 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4253 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4255 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4256 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4257 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4258 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4259 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4260 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4262 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4263 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4265 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4266 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4269 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4272 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4273 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4275 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4276 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4277 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4278 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4281 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4282 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4283 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4284 does not suppress any output.
4287 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4288 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4289 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4290 with all the associated security issues.
4292 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4293 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4294 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4295 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4296 use the value in the default purpose.
4299 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4300 and fix a memory leak.
4303 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4304 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4305 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4306 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4309 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4310 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4311 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4312 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4315 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4316 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4317 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4320 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4321 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4324 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4325 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4329 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4330 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4333 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4334 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4335 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4338 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4339 number generation fails.
4342 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4345 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4346 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4348 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4351 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4352 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4354 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4355 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4357 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4359 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4360 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4363 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4364 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4366 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4367 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4370 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4371 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4372 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4373 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4374 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4375 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4377 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4378 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4379 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4383 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4384 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4385 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4386 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4387 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4388 counter, some don't.)
4389 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4390 counters or duplicate objects.
4393 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4394 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4397 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4398 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4399 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4401 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4402 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4403 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4407 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4408 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4411 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4412 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4413 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4417 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4418 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4419 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4422 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4423 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4424 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4425 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4426 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4427 should work without changes.
4430 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4431 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4432 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4433 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4434 must be defined. E.g.,
4435 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4436 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4437 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4438 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4440 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4444 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4445 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4446 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4449 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4450 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4451 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4452 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4455 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4456 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4457 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4458 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4459 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4460 is prompted for as usual.
4463 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4464 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4465 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4466 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4468 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4469 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4470 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4471 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4474 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4477 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4481 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4484 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4487 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4491 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4494 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4497 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4498 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4501 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4502 options to produce them.
4505 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4506 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4509 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4513 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4514 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4515 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4516 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4517 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4518 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4519 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4522 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4525 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4526 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4527 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4530 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4531 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4533 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4534 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4537 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4538 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4539 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4543 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4544 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4546 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4547 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4548 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4549 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4550 generation becomes much faster.
4552 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4553 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4554 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4555 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4556 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4557 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4558 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4559 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4560 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4561 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4564 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4565 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4566 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4567 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4568 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4569 trial division stage.
4572 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4576 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4579 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4582 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4583 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4584 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4588 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4589 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4590 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4593 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4594 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4595 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4596 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4598 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4599 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4602 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4605 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4606 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4607 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4608 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4611 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4612 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4613 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4616 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4617 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4618 (instead of parameters) in future.
4621 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4622 when a new cipher list is set.
4625 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4626 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4629 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4630 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4631 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4633 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4634 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4635 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4636 an error is flagged.
4638 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4639 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4640 the readability was also increased :-)
4641 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4643 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4644 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4645 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4646 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4650 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4651 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4654 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4655 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4656 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4657 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4660 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4661 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4662 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4663 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4664 because they handle more complex structures.)
4667 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4668 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4669 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4670 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4672 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4673 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4674 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4675 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4676 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4677 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4678 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4681 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4682 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4683 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4684 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4685 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4688 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4691 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4692 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4693 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4694 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4695 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4698 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4702 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4703 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4704 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4705 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4708 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4711 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4712 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4713 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4714 international characters are used.
4716 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4717 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4718 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4722 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4723 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4724 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4727 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4728 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4729 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4730 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4731 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4732 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4734 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4735 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4736 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4737 be handled by the string table functions.
4739 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4740 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4741 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4742 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4743 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4747 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4748 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4749 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4750 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4751 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4753 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4754 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4755 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4756 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4759 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4760 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4761 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4762 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4763 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4767 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4768 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4769 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4770 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4771 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4772 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4773 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4774 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4776 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4777 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4778 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4781 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4782 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4783 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4784 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4785 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4786 support to pkcs8 application.
4789 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4790 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4791 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4792 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4793 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4794 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4797 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4798 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4799 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4800 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4801 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4805 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4806 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4807 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4808 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4812 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4813 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4814 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4815 and any application specific purposes.
4817 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4818 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4819 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4820 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4821 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4822 if the certificate is self signed.
4825 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4826 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4829 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4830 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4831 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4832 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4835 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4836 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4837 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4838 Update documentation.
4841 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4842 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4843 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4844 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4845 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4848 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4850 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4852 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4853 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4854 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4855 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4856 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4857 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4858 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4859 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4860 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4861 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4863 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4865 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4866 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4867 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4868 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4869 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4871 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4872 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4873 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4874 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4875 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4876 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4877 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4878 request additional information:
4879 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4880 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4882 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4883 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4884 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4887 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4888 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4891 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4894 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4895 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4897 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4898 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4899 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4903 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4904 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4905 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4907 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4908 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4909 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4910 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4911 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4912 included in OpenSSL.
4915 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4916 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4917 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4918 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4919 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4920 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4923 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4927 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4928 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4929 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4930 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4931 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4935 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4939 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4940 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4941 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4942 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4943 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4944 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4945 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4946 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4947 be maintained manually.
4949 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4950 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4951 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4952 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4953 work because people forget to call this function]
4954 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4955 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4956 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4959 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4960 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4961 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4962 should be discouraged from doing it.
4965 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4966 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4967 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4968 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4969 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4970 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4973 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4974 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4975 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4977 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4978 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4979 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4981 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4982 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4983 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4984 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4985 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4986 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4988 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4989 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4990 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4992 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4993 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4996 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4997 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4998 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4999 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5002 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5005 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5006 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5007 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5008 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5009 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5010 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5011 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5012 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5013 keys so we should be OK.
5015 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5016 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5017 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5018 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5019 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5020 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5021 stay in the name of compatibility.
5023 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5024 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5025 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5027 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5028 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5029 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5030 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5031 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5032 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5036 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5037 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5038 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5039 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5040 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5041 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5042 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5043 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5044 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5045 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5046 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5047 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5048 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5051 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5054 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5055 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5056 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5057 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5058 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5059 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5060 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5061 openssl verify ss.pem
5062 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5063 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5067 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5068 (and add it to external session representation).
5069 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5070 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5071 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5072 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5073 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5074 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5076 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5078 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5079 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5080 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5081 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5083 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5084 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5085 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5088 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5089 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5090 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5094 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5095 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5096 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5098 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5099 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5100 certificate auxiliary information.
5103 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5107 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5108 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5109 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5110 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5111 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5112 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5113 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5116 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5117 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5120 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5121 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5122 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5123 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5126 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5129 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5130 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5133 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5134 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5135 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5136 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5137 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5138 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5139 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5140 using the new 'x509' options.
5142 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5143 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5144 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5145 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5149 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5150 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5151 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5152 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5153 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5156 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5157 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5158 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5159 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5160 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5161 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5162 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5163 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5164 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5165 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5168 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5169 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5170 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5171 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5172 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5173 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5174 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5177 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5178 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5179 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5180 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5181 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5182 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5183 openssl.cnf for more info.
5186 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5187 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5188 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5189 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5190 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5191 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5192 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5193 md should be large enough anyway.
5196 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5197 for handling the random seed file.
5199 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5201 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5204 x509 (when signing).
5205 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5206 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5207 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5209 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5210 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5211 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5212 that support '-rand'.
5215 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5216 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5219 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5220 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5223 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5224 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5225 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5226 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5230 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5231 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5232 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5233 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5236 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5237 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5238 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5239 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5240 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5241 print out all the purposes.
5244 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5248 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5249 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5250 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5251 single function call.
5254 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5255 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5258 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5259 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5260 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5263 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5264 when producing the local key id.
5265 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5267 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5268 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5269 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5273 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5274 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5275 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5276 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5279 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5280 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5281 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5282 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5284 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5285 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5286 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5287 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5289 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5290 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5291 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5292 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5293 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5294 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5295 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5296 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5297 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5298 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5299 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5300 trivial: move one line.
5301 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5303 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5304 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5305 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5306 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5307 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5308 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5309 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5310 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5311 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5312 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5313 with an event loop for example.
5316 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5317 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5318 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5319 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5320 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5321 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5322 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5323 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5324 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5327 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5328 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5329 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5330 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5331 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5332 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5335 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5336 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5337 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5338 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5340 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5341 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5342 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5343 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5347 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5348 (still largely untested)
5351 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5352 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5355 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5356 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5359 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5360 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5361 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5364 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5365 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5366 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5367 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5368 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5371 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5374 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5375 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5376 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5377 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5378 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5382 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5383 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5386 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5389 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5390 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5391 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5392 are otherwise ignored at present.
5395 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5396 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5397 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5398 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5399 copied until the next read.
5402 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5403 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5404 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5407 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5408 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5409 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5410 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5411 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5412 associated functions.
5415 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5416 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5417 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5418 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5419 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5420 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5421 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5422 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5423 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5427 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5428 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5429 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5430 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5433 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5434 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5435 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5436 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5437 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5441 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5442 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5446 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5447 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5448 extensions to be obtained and added.
5451 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5452 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5455 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5457 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5458 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5460 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5461 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5463 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5467 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5468 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5469 DH parameters contain its length).
5471 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5472 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5473 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5474 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5475 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5476 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5477 utter importance to use
5478 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5480 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5481 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5482 attacks may become possible!
5485 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5488 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5489 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5492 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5493 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5494 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5498 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5499 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5500 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5501 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5502 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5503 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5504 private key operations.
5507 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5510 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5511 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5513 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5514 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5515 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5516 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5517 the password callback is called.
5518 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5520 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5522 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5523 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5524 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5525 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5526 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5527 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5530 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5531 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5532 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5533 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5534 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5535 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5538 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5541 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5542 delete an unused file.
5545 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5546 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5547 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5548 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5551 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5552 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5553 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5557 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5558 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5559 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5561 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5562 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5563 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5564 comparison" warnings.
5565 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5568 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5569 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5570 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5573 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5574 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5576 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5577 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5579 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5580 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5581 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5583 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5584 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5585 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5586 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5587 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5589 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5591 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5592 The interface is as follows:
5593 Applications can use
5594 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5595 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5596 "off" is now the default.
5597 The library internally uses
5598 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5599 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5600 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5602 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5603 even the default) are now avoided.
5605 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5606 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5607 than just having a counter.
5609 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5611 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5615 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5616 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5617 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5618 Initial "mode" flags are:
5620 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5621 a single record has been written.
5622 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5623 retries use the same buffer location.
5624 (But all of the contents must be
5628 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5631 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5632 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5634 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5635 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5636 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5639 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5640 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5642 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5644 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5645 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5646 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5647 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5649 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5650 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5652 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5653 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5654 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5655 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5656 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5657 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5660 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5661 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5662 necessary function names.
5665 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5666 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5667 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5668 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5671 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5672 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5673 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5676 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5677 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5678 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5679 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5681 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5685 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5686 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5687 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5690 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5691 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5695 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5696 for the encoded length.
5697 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5699 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5702 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5703 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5704 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5705 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5708 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5709 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5710 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5712 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5713 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5714 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5718 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5719 to use the new extension code.
5722 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5723 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5724 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5728 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5729 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5730 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5734 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5737 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5738 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5739 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5742 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5743 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5744 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5745 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5748 *) DES library cleanups.
5751 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5752 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5753 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5754 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5755 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5759 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5760 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5763 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5764 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5765 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5766 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5767 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5768 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5769 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5770 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5771 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5774 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5775 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5776 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5777 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5778 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5779 value doesn't matter.
5782 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5786 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5787 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5788 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5789 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5791 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5794 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5795 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5796 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5798 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5799 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5801 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5804 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5807 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5810 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5814 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5816 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5818 *) Updated some demos.
5819 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5821 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5824 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5827 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5830 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5831 instead of using a fixed path.
5834 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5837 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5841 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5843 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5844 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5845 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5847 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5848 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5849 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5850 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5851 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5852 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5853 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5854 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5855 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5856 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5859 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5860 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5863 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5864 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5865 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5866 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5867 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5869 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5872 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5873 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5874 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5877 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5880 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5881 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5882 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5883 key elements as negative integers.
5886 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5887 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5890 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5892 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5893 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5894 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5897 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5898 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5899 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5900 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5901 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5904 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5907 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5908 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5909 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5910 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5912 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5913 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5914 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5916 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5917 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5918 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5919 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5920 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5921 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5922 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5923 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5924 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5926 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5927 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5928 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5929 does not influence s as it used to.
5931 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5932 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5933 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5934 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5935 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5936 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5939 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5940 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5941 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5945 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5946 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5947 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5951 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5952 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5953 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5957 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5958 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5961 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5962 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5967 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5968 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5970 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5971 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5973 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5976 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5979 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5980 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5982 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5983 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5984 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5988 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5989 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5990 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5991 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5992 now it really counts the depth.
5995 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5996 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5997 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5998 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5999 didn't match the private key).
6001 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6002 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6003 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6006 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6009 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6013 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6014 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6015 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6018 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6021 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6022 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6023 such as /usr/local/bin.
6026 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6027 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6029 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6032 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6033 extension adding in x509 utility.
6036 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6039 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6043 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6046 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6047 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6048 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6049 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6050 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6051 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6052 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6053 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6054 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6055 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6058 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6061 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6062 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6065 *) Fix some race conditions.
6068 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6069 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6072 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6075 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6076 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6077 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6078 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6080 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6081 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6083 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6084 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6085 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6087 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6088 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6090 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6093 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6094 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6096 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6099 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6100 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6102 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6103 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6106 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6107 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6110 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6111 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6114 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6115 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6118 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6119 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6122 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6123 support typesafe stack.
6126 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6127 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6129 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6130 old X509V3 handling code.
6133 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6136 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6139 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6142 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6143 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6145 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6146 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6147 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6148 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6149 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6152 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6153 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6154 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6155 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6156 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6158 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6159 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6160 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6161 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6163 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6164 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6165 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6166 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6168 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6169 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6170 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6171 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6172 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6173 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6176 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6177 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6180 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6181 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6184 *) Tweaks to Configure
6185 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6187 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6191 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6194 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6195 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6198 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6199 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6200 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6203 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6206 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6207 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6210 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6211 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6212 to library startup routines.
6215 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6216 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6217 codes along the way.
6220 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6221 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6222 objects to objects.h
6225 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6226 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6229 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6230 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6232 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6233 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6234 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6236 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6237 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6238 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6240 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6241 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6242 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6245 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6247 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6248 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6251 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6252 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6253 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6254 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6255 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6257 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6258 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6259 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6261 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6263 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6265 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6267 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6268 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6270 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6271 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6272 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6273 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6275 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6278 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6279 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6280 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6281 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6284 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6285 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6286 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6289 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6290 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6291 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6292 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6293 installed as `perl').
6294 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6296 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6297 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6299 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6300 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6301 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6302 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6303 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6306 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6309 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6310 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6311 is horrible: I feel ill....
6314 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6315 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6316 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6317 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6320 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6323 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6324 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6325 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6326 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6328 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6329 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6330 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6331 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6332 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6333 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6335 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6337 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6338 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6340 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6341 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6343 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6346 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6347 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6351 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6352 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6353 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6354 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6355 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6356 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6357 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6358 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6359 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6360 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6363 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6366 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6367 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6368 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6369 for linking it into DSOs.
6370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6372 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6376 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6377 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6378 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6379 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6380 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6381 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6383 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6384 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6385 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6386 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6387 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6388 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6389 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6391 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6392 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6393 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6397 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6398 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6399 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6400 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6403 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6404 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6405 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6406 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6407 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6411 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6412 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6413 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6414 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6415 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6417 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6418 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6419 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6421 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6422 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6424 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6425 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6426 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6427 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6428 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6431 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6432 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6433 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6434 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6435 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6436 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6437 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6440 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6442 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6443 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6446 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6447 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6449 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6450 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6453 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6454 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6455 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6456 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6457 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6459 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6460 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6461 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6462 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6463 no way to reconfigure them.
6464 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6465 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6466 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6467 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6468 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6469 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6471 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6472 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6473 recognized by the users.
6474 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6476 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6477 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6478 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6479 already masked variable.
6480 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6482 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6483 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6485 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6486 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6487 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6488 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6490 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6491 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6492 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6494 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6495 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6496 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6497 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6498 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6499 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6500 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6501 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6503 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6505 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6506 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6507 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6509 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6510 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6514 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6515 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6517 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6518 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6519 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6520 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6523 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6526 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6527 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6529 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6532 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6533 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6536 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6537 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6540 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6541 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6542 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6543 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6544 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6545 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6546 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6549 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6550 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6552 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6553 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6554 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6555 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6556 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6558 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6559 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6560 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6563 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6564 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6568 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6569 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6570 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6572 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6573 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6574 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6578 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6579 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6580 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6581 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6584 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6585 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6586 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6587 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6590 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6591 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6592 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6593 so it wasn't spotted.
6594 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6596 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6597 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6598 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6599 vectors if you have them.
6602 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6603 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6606 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6607 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6608 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6609 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6611 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6612 it will update them.
6615 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6616 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6617 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6618 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6619 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6620 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6621 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6622 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6624 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6625 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6626 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6627 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6628 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6629 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6630 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6631 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6632 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6633 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6635 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6636 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6637 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6638 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6639 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6642 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6646 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6647 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6649 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6650 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6652 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6653 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6656 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6657 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6659 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6660 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6662 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6665 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6669 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6670 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6671 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6672 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6674 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6677 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6680 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6683 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6684 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6687 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6688 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6692 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6693 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6696 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6697 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6698 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6701 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6702 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6703 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6704 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6705 properly to be processed.
6708 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6709 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6710 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6713 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6714 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6716 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6717 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6718 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6719 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6720 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6721 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6722 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6723 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6724 or delete all the .err files.
6727 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6728 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6729 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6730 to regenerate it if needed.
6731 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6732 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6734 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6735 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6737 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6738 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6739 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6740 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6741 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6744 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6745 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6747 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6748 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6750 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6751 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6752 error, but didn't set one).
6753 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6755 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6758 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6759 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6762 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6763 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6765 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6766 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6767 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6768 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6769 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6770 OID is not part of the table.
6773 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6774 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6777 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6780 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6781 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6785 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6786 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6788 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6790 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6792 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6793 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6795 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6796 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6798 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6799 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6801 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6802 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6805 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6806 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6809 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6810 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6812 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6813 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6815 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6816 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6818 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6819 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6821 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6822 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6823 unused in the certificate verification process.
6824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6826 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6827 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6830 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6831 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6832 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6834 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6835 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6836 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6837 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6838 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6840 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6841 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6844 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6847 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6850 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6851 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6853 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6856 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6859 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6862 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6863 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6864 other error libraries.
6867 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6870 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6871 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6875 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6876 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6877 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6878 the new set of documenation files.
6879 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6881 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6882 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6883 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6884 number of arguments.
6885 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6887 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6890 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6891 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6892 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6894 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6897 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6901 unixware-2.0-pentium
6905 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6906 before they are needed.
6909 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6913 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6915 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6916 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6917 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6919 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6922 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6923 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6924 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6926 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6927 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6928 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6930 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6931 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6934 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6935 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6937 *) Updated the README file.
6938 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6940 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6941 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6944 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6945 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6948 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6949 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6950 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6951 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6952 o removed obsolete TODO file
6953 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6956 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6957 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6958 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6959 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6960 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6961 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6962 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6964 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6967 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6968 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6969 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6971 [The OpenSSL Project]
6974 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6976 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6979 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6982 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6983 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6986 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6987 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6991 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6993 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6995 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6998 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7001 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7004 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7007 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7010 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7013 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7016 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7019 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7022 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7025 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7028 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7031 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7034 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7037 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7040 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7043 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7046 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7047 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7048 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7051 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7052 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7055 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7058 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7061 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7062 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7065 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7068 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7071 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7072 bytes sent in the client random.
7073 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
