5 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
8 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
9 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
10 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
11 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
12 invalid read after the end of 'db').
13 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
15 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
17 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
18 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
19 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
20 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
21 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
23 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
24 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
26 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
27 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
28 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
29 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
30 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
32 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
34 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
35 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
36 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
37 sets may exist with different names.
40 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
41 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
42 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
43 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
44 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
45 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
46 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
47 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
48 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
50 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
52 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
53 implemention in the following ways:
55 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
58 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
59 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
60 ignored for embedded content.
62 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
63 with the enable-cms configuration option.
66 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
67 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
68 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
69 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
71 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
72 uncompresses any data passed through it.
75 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
76 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
79 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
80 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
81 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
82 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
83 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
84 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
88 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
89 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
90 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
94 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
95 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
96 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
97 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
98 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
99 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
100 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
101 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
103 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
104 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
105 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
106 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
107 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
108 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
109 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
111 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
112 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
113 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
114 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
115 to s_client and s_server.
118 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
121 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
122 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
123 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
124 + Fix ia64 assembler code
125 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
127 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
129 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
130 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
131 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
132 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
133 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
134 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
135 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
136 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
139 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
140 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
141 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
144 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
145 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
146 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
149 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
150 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
153 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
154 protection in servers so again support should be possible
155 with no application modification.
157 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
158 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
160 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
161 or server extensions to be examined.
163 This work was sponsored by Google.
166 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
167 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
168 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
169 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
170 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
171 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
172 server_name extension.
174 New functions (subject to change):
177 SSL_get_servername_type()
180 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
182 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
183 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
184 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
185 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
186 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
188 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
190 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
191 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
192 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
193 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
194 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
195 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
198 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
200 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
203 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
206 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
207 (which previously caused an internal error).
210 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
213 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
214 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
216 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
217 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
218 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
220 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
221 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
222 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
223 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
225 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
226 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
227 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
230 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
231 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
232 information. For detailed background information, see
233 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
234 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
235 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
236 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
237 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
238 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
239 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
240 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
241 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
242 remove a conditional branch.
244 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
245 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
246 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
247 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
248 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
249 remains as a deprecated alias.
251 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
252 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
253 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
254 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
256 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
257 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
258 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
259 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
260 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
261 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
262 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
263 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
265 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
267 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
268 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
269 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
270 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
271 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
272 with applications using a single external cache for quite
273 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
274 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
275 in a different context.
278 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
279 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
280 authentication-only ciphersuites.
283 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
284 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
285 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
287 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
289 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
290 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
291 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
292 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
293 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
296 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
297 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
298 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
299 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
300 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
301 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
304 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
305 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
306 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
307 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
308 message has informed the client about his choice.)
311 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
312 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
314 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
315 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
316 Improve header file function name parsing.
319 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
320 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
323 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
325 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
326 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
327 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
329 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
330 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
332 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
333 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
335 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
336 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
337 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
339 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
340 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
341 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
342 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
343 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
344 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
345 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
346 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
347 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
349 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
350 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
351 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
352 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
353 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
355 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
356 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
357 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
358 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
359 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
360 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
361 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
362 multiple values to extend the available space.
366 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
368 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
369 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
371 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
374 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
375 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
376 undesirable limitations.
377 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
379 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
380 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
381 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
382 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
383 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
384 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
385 to avoid potential handshake problems.
388 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
390 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
391 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
392 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
394 The latter two were purportedly from
395 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
398 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
399 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
400 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
403 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
404 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
407 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
408 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
409 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
410 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
412 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
413 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
414 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
417 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
418 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
419 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
420 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
421 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
422 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
425 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
427 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
428 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
431 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
432 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
434 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
435 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
436 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
437 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
440 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
441 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
444 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
445 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
446 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
447 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
448 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
449 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
450 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
454 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
455 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
456 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
457 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
460 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
461 under VC++ build system.
464 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
465 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
468 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
470 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
471 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
472 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
473 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
474 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
476 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
477 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
478 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
480 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
483 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
484 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
487 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
488 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
490 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
493 *) Extended Windows CE support.
494 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
496 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
497 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
500 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
501 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
505 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
507 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
510 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
513 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
514 key into the same file any more.
517 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
520 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
521 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
523 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
524 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
527 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
528 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
529 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
530 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
531 this only applies when building 'shared'.
532 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
534 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
535 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
536 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
539 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
540 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
541 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
542 - add new function for parameter creation
543 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
544 BN_BLINDING parameters
545 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
546 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
547 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
551 *) Add support for DTLS.
552 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
554 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
555 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
558 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
559 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
562 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
563 the apps/openssl applications.
566 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
567 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
568 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
571 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
572 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
574 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
575 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
577 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
578 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
579 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
580 avoid this algorithm.)
584 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
585 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
586 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
589 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
590 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
593 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
594 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
595 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
598 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
600 The blank line is mandatory.
604 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
605 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
609 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
610 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
612 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
613 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
614 to support policy checking and print out.
617 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
618 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
619 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
620 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
622 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
625 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
626 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
628 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
629 implementation contributed by IBM.
630 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
632 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
633 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
634 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
635 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
637 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
638 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
640 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
641 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
642 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
643 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
644 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
645 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
648 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
649 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
650 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
651 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
652 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
653 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
654 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
657 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
660 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
661 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
662 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
663 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
664 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
665 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
666 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
667 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
670 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
671 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
672 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
673 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
676 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
679 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
682 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
683 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
684 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
685 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
686 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
687 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
691 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
692 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
695 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
696 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
697 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
700 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
701 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
702 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
706 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
707 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
710 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
711 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
712 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
713 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
716 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
717 initialised value as BN_new().
718 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
720 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
723 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
724 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
725 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
726 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
727 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
728 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
729 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
730 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
731 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
732 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
733 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
734 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
735 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
736 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
737 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
739 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
740 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
741 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
742 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
745 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
746 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
747 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
748 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
749 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
750 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
751 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
752 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
753 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
756 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
757 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
758 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
759 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
760 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
761 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
762 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
765 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
766 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
767 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
768 these have been updated also.
771 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
772 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
773 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
774 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
775 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
779 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
780 structure of type "other".
783 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
784 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
785 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
786 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
787 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
788 situation in the script.
789 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
791 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
792 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
793 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
794 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
795 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
796 used as premaster secret.
797 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
799 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
800 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
801 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
803 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
804 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
806 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
807 control of the error stack.
810 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
813 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
814 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
815 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
816 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
819 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
820 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
821 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
824 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
825 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
826 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
830 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
831 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
832 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
833 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
836 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
837 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
838 the following flags are defined:
840 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
841 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
842 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
845 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
846 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
847 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
848 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
852 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
853 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
854 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
855 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
856 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
859 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
860 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
861 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
864 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
865 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
866 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
867 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
868 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
869 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
872 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
876 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
879 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
882 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
885 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
886 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
887 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
888 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
889 default implementation more easily.
892 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
896 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
897 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
900 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
901 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
902 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
903 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
905 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
906 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
907 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
911 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
912 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
916 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
917 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
918 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
919 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
920 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
922 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
924 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
925 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
926 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
930 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
931 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
932 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
933 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
934 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
935 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
936 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
937 linker additions, eg;
938 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
941 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
942 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
943 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
946 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
947 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
948 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
952 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
953 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
954 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
955 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
958 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
959 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
960 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
961 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
962 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
963 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
964 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
965 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
966 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
967 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
969 Example for using the new callback interface:
971 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
975 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
977 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
978 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
979 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
980 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
981 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
982 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
987 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
988 available to TLS with the number defined in
989 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
992 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
993 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
995 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
996 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
997 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
998 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1000 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1001 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1003 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1004 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1008 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1009 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1012 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1013 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1014 and a macro that behave like
1015 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1017 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1020 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1021 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1022 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1024 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1026 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1029 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1030 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1031 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1032 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1034 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1035 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1036 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1037 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1038 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1039 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1040 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1041 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1043 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1044 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1047 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1048 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1050 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1051 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1052 files while avoiding the low level API.
1054 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1055 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1056 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1057 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1059 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1060 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1061 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1062 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1063 instead of the low level API.
1066 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1067 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1068 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1069 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1070 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1073 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1074 down to the template encoder.
1077 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1078 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1081 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1082 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1083 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1084 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1086 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1087 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1089 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1090 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1092 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1093 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1096 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1097 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1098 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1101 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1102 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1104 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1105 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1107 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1108 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1111 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1115 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1116 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1117 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1118 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1119 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1120 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1122 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1123 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1126 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1127 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1128 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1129 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1130 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1131 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1132 various internal method names.)
1134 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1135 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1137 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1138 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1140 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1141 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1143 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1144 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1145 methods are undefined.
1147 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1148 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1150 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1151 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1152 length of the modulus.
1154 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1155 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1157 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1158 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1160 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1161 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1163 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1164 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1165 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1168 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1169 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1170 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1171 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1173 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1174 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1175 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1176 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1178 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1179 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1181 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1182 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1183 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1184 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1185 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1187 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1188 This applies to the following functions:
1193 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1194 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1196 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1197 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1201 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1206 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1208 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1209 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1210 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1211 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the

1214 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1215 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1217 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1218 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1219 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1221 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1222 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1224 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1225 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1226 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1227 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1228 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1230 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1232 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1233 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1234 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1235 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1236 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1237 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1238 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1239 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1240 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1241 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1242 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1243 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1245 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1248 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1249 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1250 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1251 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1253 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1254 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1255 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1261 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1262 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1263 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1264 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1265 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1267 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1268 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1269 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1270 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1271 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1272 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1273 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1274 adding different types of curves.
1275 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1277 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1278 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1279 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1282 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1283 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1285 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1286 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1287 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1288 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1290 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1292 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1293 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1295 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1296 library. Most notably,
1297 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1298 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1299 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1300 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1301 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1302 extracted before the specific public key;
1303 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1304 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1306 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1307 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1309 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1310 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1311 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1312 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1314 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1315 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1316 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1318 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1319 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1320 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1321 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1322 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1323 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1327 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1329 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1330 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1331 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1332 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1333 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1334 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1335 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1336 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1337 in a different context.
1340 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1342 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1344 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1346 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1347 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1348 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1351 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1352 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1353 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1356 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1359 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1360 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1363 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1364 run algorithm test programs.
1367 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1370 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1371 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1372 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1373 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1374 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1377 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1378 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1381 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1383 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1384 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1385 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1387 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1388 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1390 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1391 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1393 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1394 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1395 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1397 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1398 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1399 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1400 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1401 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1402 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1403 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1406 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1408 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1409 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1411 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1412 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1413 undesirable limitations.
1414 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1416 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1418 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1419 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1420 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1422 The latter two were purportedly from
1423 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1426 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1427 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1428 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1431 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1432 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1435 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1437 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1438 module in FIPS mode.
1441 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1444 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1445 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1446 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1447 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1450 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1452 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1453 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1454 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1455 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1456 the difference induced by this change.
1459 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1461 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1462 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1463 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1464 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1465 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1467 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1468 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1469 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1471 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1472 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1475 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1476 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1477 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1478 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1482 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1483 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1484 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1485 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1486 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1488 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1489 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1490 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1491 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1492 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1493 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1495 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1497 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1498 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1499 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1500 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1501 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1504 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1508 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1509 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1510 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1513 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1514 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1515 structures constant.
1518 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1520 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1523 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1524 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1525 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1526 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1527 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1528 some needed definitions.
1531 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1534 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1535 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1536 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1537 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1540 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1542 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1543 server and client random values. Previously
1544 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1545 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1547 This change has negligible security impact because:
1549 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1552 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1555 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1556 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1559 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1562 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1564 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1567 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1568 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1569 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1571 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1574 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1575 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1578 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1579 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1580 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1582 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1585 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1586 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1587 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1591 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1592 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1593 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1594 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1596 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1597 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1598 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1599 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1603 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1605 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1606 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1607 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1608 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1609 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1612 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1615 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1616 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1618 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1619 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1620 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1621 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1622 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1623 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1624 rather than being initialized to 1.
1627 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1629 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1630 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1631 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1633 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1635 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1637 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1638 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1639 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1640 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1641 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1642 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1645 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1646 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1647 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1648 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1649 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1653 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1654 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1655 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1656 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1657 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1660 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1661 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1662 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1666 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1667 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1669 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1672 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1674 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1676 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1677 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1679 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1681 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1682 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1686 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1687 exiting on the first error in a request.
1690 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1691 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1695 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1696 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1697 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1698 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1700 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1701 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1704 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1705 blocks during encryption.
1708 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1709 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1710 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1711 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1715 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1716 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1717 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1718 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1719 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1723 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1725 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1726 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1727 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1728 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1731 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1732 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1733 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1734 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1735 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1737 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1738 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1739 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1740 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1741 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1742 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1743 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1744 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1745 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1748 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1749 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1750 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1751 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1754 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1755 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1758 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1760 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1761 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1762 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1763 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1764 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1766 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1767 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1768 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1770 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1771 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1772 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1773 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1774 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1776 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1777 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1778 used by default when no-err is given.
1781 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1782 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1784 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1785 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1786 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from

1790 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1791 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1792 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1793 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1795 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1797 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1799 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1801 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1802 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1803 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1804 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1808 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1809 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1811 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1812 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1815 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1816 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1817 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1818 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1821 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1822 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1823 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1824 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1825 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1826 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1827 followup to PR #377.
1830 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1831 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1834 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1835 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1836 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1844 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1845 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1846 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

1854 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1858 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1859 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1860 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1861 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1862 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1863 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1865 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1866 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1867 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1868 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1869 have to be made anyway).
1872 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1873 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1874 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1877 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1878 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1879 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1882 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1883 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1884 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1886 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1887 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1888 edit numbers of the version.
1889 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]

1895 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.

1994 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1995 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1996 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1998 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1999 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2000 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2002 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2003 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2004 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2005 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2007 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2008 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2009 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2012 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2013 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2014 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2015 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2016 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2017 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2018 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2019 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2022 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2023 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2024 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2027 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2028 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2029 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2030 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2031 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2033 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2034 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2036 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2037 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2040 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2041 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2042 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2043 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2044 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2045 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2048 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2049 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2050 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2053 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2054 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2057 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2058 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2059 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2060 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2061 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2062 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2063 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2066 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2067 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2068 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2069 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2070 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2071 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2074 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2075 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2076 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2077 declaration has been changed from
2080 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2081 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2082 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2083 has been changed into
2084 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2086 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2087 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2088 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2090 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2091 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2093 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2094 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2095 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2096 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2097 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2098 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2099 always load it have also been added.
2102 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2103 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2104 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2106 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2108 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2109 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2110 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2112 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2113 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2114 command line option can be used to specify an
2118 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2119 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2122 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2123 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2124 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2127 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2128 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2129 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2130 to work with the new engine framework.
2131 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2133 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2134 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2135 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2136 to work with the new engine framework.
2139 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2140 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2141 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2143 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.

2148 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2149 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant

2153 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2154 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2156 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2157 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2159 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2160 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2161 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2164 *) Add new functions
2166 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2167 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2168 These are similar to
2171 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2172 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2173 still in the error queue.
2174 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2176 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2178 default_algorithms = ALL
2179 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2182 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2185 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2188 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2189 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2190 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2191 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2193 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2194 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2196 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2197 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2199 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2200 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2203 *) New functions/macros
2205 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2206 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2207 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2208 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2210 to request calling a callback function
2212 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2213 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2215 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2216 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2217 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2218 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2219 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2220 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2221 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2222 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2223 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2224 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2226 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2227 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2230 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2231 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2232 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2233 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2234 the configuration scripts.
2236 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2237 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2238 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2240 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2241 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2243 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2244 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2245 when reusing an existing buffer.
2248 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2249 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2252 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2253 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2256 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2257 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2258 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2259 has the same effect.
2260 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2262 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2263 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2264 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2265 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2266 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2267 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2270 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2271 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2272 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2273 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2275 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2276 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2277 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2278 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2280 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2281 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2284 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2285 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2286 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2287 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2288 default), and then completely removed.
2291 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2292 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2293 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2294 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2295 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2296 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2297 particular extension is supported.
2300 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2301 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2304 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2305 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2306 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2307 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2308 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2309 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2310 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2311 requires the destination to be valid.
2313 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2314 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2317 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2318 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2319 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2322 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2323 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2325 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2326 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2327 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2328 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2329 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2330 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2331 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2332 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2333 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2334 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2335 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2336 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2337 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2338 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2339 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2340 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2341 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2342 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2343 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2347 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2350 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2351 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2352 become part of libeay.num as well.
2355 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2356 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2357 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2358 false once a handshake has been completed.
2359 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2360 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2361 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2362 client has followed the request.)
2365 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2366 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2367 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2368 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2370 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2371 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2372 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2375 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2378 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2379 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2380 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2383 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2384 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2387 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2388 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2389 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2390 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2393 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2394 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2395 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2396 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2397 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2398 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2401 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2402 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2403 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2404 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2405 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2406 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2407 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2408 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2411 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2412 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2415 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2418 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2419 md_data void pointer.
2422 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2423 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2424 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2425 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2426 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2427 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2430 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2431 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2432 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2433 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2434 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2435 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2436 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2437 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2438 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2439 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2440 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2441 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2442 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2443 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2444 rather than letting it slide.
2446 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2447 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2448 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2451 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2452 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2453 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2454 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2455 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2456 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2457 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2458 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2459 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2462 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2463 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2464 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2465 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2466 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2468 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2471 *) Add EVP test program.
2474 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2477 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2478 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2479 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2480 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2481 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2484 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2485 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2486 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2487 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2488 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2489 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2490 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2492 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2493 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2494 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2499 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2500 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2501 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2502 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2503 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2507 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2508 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2509 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2510 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2513 des_key_schedule ks;
2515 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2516 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2518 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2521 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2522 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2523 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2524 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2525 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2526 functions prevents this.
2529 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2532 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2533 correct _ecb suffix.
2536 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2537 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2538 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2539 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2540 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2543 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2546 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2547 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2548 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2549 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2551 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2552 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2554 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2555 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2556 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2557 via Richard Levitte]
2559 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2560 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2561 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2562 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2565 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2568 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2569 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2583 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2584 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2586 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2587 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2588 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2589 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2590 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2591 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2594 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2595 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2598 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2599 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2600 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2601 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2603 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2604 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2605 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2606 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2607 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2608 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2612 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2613 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2614 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2615 and interrupts/cancellations.
2618 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2619 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2622 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2623 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2624 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2626 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2627 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2631 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2632 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2633 than this minimum value is recommended.
2636 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2637 that are easily reachable.
2640 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2641 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2643 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2645 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2646 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2647 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2648 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2651 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2652 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2653 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2656 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2657 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2658 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2659 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2660 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2661 internally such as S/MIME.
2663 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2664 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2665 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2667 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2671 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2672 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2673 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2674 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2676 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2678 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2680 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2681 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2682 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2686 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2687 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2688 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2689 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2690 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2691 a window system and the like.
2694 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2695 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2698 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2699 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2700 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2701 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2702 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2703 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2704 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2705 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2706 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2710 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2711 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2715 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2716 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2717 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2718 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2719 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2720 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2721 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2722 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2725 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2726 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2727 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2728 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2729 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2730 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2731 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2732 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2733 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2734 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2735 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2736 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2737 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2738 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2739 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2740 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2741 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2744 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2745 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2746 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2747 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2748 internal engine_int.h header.
2751 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2752 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2753 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2754 modify their own ones).
2757 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2758 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2759 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2760 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2761 later on via ctrl() commands.
2762 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2763 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2764 structural references.
2765 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2766 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2767 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2768 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2769 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2770 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2771 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2772 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2773 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2774 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2775 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2776 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2779 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2780 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2781 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2782 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2783 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2784 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2785 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2786 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2789 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2790 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2793 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2794 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2797 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2798 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2799 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2800 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2801 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2802 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2803 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2806 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2807 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2808 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2809 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2810 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2812 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2813 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2817 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2819 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2820 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2821 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2823 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2824 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2826 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2827 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2828 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2830 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2831 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2833 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2834 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2836 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2838 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2839 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2840 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2843 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2844 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2847 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2848 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2849 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2850 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2851 is 40 of more characters long.
2854 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2855 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2859 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2860 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2863 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2864 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2868 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2870 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2871 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2874 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2876 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2877 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2878 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2880 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2881 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2883 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2886 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2890 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2891 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2892 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2893 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2895 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2897 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2898 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2900 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2901 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2902 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2903 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2904 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2905 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2907 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2908 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2910 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2911 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2913 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2914 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2916 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2917 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2918 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2919 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2921 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2922 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2924 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2925 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2927 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2928 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2929 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2930 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2931 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2934 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2935 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2936 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2937 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2940 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2941 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2942 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2946 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2947 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2948 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2949 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2950 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2951 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2952 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2953 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2957 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2958 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2961 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2962 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2963 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2964 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2967 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2968 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2969 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2970 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2971 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2972 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2973 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2974 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2975 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2976 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2979 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2980 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2981 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2982 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2983 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2984 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2985 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2986 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2988 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2989 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2990 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2991 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2994 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2995 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2996 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2997 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2999 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3000 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3001 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3002 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3003 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3007 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3008 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3009 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3010 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3014 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3015 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3016 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3019 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3020 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3021 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3022 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3023 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3026 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3029 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3030 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3031 option to ocsp utility.
3034 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3035 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3036 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3037 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3038 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3039 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3040 the request is nonce-less.
3043 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3044 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3045 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3048 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3049 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3050 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3053 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3054 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3055 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3056 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3057 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3060 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3061 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3065 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3066 additional certificates supplied.
3069 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3070 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3074 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3075 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3078 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3079 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3080 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3081 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3082 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3083 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3084 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3085 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3086 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3088 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3089 request to response.
3092 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3093 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3094 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3095 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3096 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3097 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3098 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3099 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3100 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3101 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3102 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3105 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3106 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3107 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3108 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3111 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3112 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3114 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3115 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3116 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3119 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3120 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3121 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3122 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3123 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3125 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3126 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3127 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3130 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3131 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3132 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3133 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3134 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3135 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3136 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3137 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3139 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3140 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3141 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3142 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3143 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3144 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3147 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3148 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3149 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3150 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3151 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3152 printout format cleaned up.
3155 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3156 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3157 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3158 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3159 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3160 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3161 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3162 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3165 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3166 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3167 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3168 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3169 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3170 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3171 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3172 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3175 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3176 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3177 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3178 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3180 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3182 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3183 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3184 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3185 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3188 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3189 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3190 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3191 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3193 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3195 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3196 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3197 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3198 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3200 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3201 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3203 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3204 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3205 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3208 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3209 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3210 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3213 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3214 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3215 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3216 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3217 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3218 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3219 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3220 functions are provided:
3222 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3223 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3224 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3225 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3227 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3228 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3229 extended allocation function is enabled.
3230 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3231 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3232 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3234 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3235 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3236 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3237 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3238 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3241 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3242 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3243 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3245 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3246 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3247 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3250 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3251 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3252 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3253 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3254 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3255 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3256 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3257 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3258 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3261 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3262 provide utility functions which an application needing
3263 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3264 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3265 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3267 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3268 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3269 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3270 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3271 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3272 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3273 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3274 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3275 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3277 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3278 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3279 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3280 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3283 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3284 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3285 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3286 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3287 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3288 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3289 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3290 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3291 will be added elsewhere.
3294 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3295 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3296 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3297 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3300 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3301 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3302 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3303 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3304 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3305 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3306 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3307 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3308 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3309 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3310 to produce the required SET OF.
3313 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3314 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3315 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3318 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3319 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3320 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3321 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3322 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3323 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3326 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3327 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3328 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3331 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3332 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3333 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3336 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3337 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3338 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3339 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3340 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3343 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3344 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3347 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3348 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3349 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3350 certifcates and CRLs.
3353 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3354 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3355 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3358 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3359 entries for variables.
3362 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3363 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3364 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3365 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3368 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3369 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3370 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3371 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3372 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3373 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3376 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3377 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3379 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3380 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3381 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3384 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3388 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3389 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3390 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3391 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3392 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3393 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3396 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3399 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3400 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3401 for now but they will eventually go away.
3404 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3405 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3406 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3407 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3408 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3409 has also been converted to the new form.
3412 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3413 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3414 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3415 for negative moduli.
3418 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3419 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3422 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3426 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3427 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3428 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3429 type-specific callbacks.
3432 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3434 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3435 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3437 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3438 in sections depending on the subject.
3441 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3445 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3446 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3447 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3448 be handled deterministically).
3449 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3451 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3452 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3453 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3456 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3459 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3460 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3461 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3462 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3463 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3466 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3467 sign of the number in question.
3469 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3471 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3472 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3473 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3474 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3475 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3478 *) New function BN_swap.
3481 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3482 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3483 results on negative inputs.
3486 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3487 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3488 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3491 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3492 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3493 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3494 and add new functions:
3503 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3507 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3509 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3510 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3512 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3513 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3514 be reduced modulo m.

3518 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3519 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3520 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3522 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3523 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3524 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3525 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3526 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3527 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3532 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3533 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3534 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3535 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3536 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3538 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3539 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3540 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3544 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3547 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3548 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3551 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3552 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3553 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3554 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3558 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3561 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3564 *) Add the following functions:
3566 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3568 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3570 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3572 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3573 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3574 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3575 libraries unless it's really needed.
3577 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3578 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3579 declarations (they differed!).
3582 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3585 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3588 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3591 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3592 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3595 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3596 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3597 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3599 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3600 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3603 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3606 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3609 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3612 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3613 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3614 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3616 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3617 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3618 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3619 different shared library filenames on each system.
3622 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3625 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3626 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3627 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3629 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3632 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3633 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3634 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3635 binary backward compatibility.
3636 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3637 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3638 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3642 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3643 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3644 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3645 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3649 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3652 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3653 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3654 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3655 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3659 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3662 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3664 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3665 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3666 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3668 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3670 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3672 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3673 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3676 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3678 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3680 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3681 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3683 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3684 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3688 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3689 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3693 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3694 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3695 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3696 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3698 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3699 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3702 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3704 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3705 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3706 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3707 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3710 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3711 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3712 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3713 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3714 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3716 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3717 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3718 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3719 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3720 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3721 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3722 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3723 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3724 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3727 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3729 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3730 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3731 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3732 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3733 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3735 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3736 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3737 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3739 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3741 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3742 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3743 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3744 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3745 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3746 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3749 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3750 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3751 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3752 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3753 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3756 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3757 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3758 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3760 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3761 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3762 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3766 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3767 being properly terminated.
3770 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3771 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3772 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3773 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3775 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3776 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3777 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3778 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3779 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3780 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3781 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3783 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3785 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3786 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3789 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3790 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3791 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3792 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3793 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3794 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3795 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3796 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3798 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3799 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3800 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3801 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3802 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3804 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3805 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3808 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3810 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3811 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3812 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3814 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3816 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3817 and get fix the header length calculation.
3818 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3819 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3822 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3823 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3824 assertions could call abort()).
3825 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3827 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3829 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3830 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3831 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3833 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3835 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3836 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3837 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3840 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3844 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3845 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3846 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3848 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3849 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3850 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3851 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3852 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3856 *) Changes in security patch:
3858 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3859 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3860 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3863 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3864 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3865 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3866 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3867 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3869 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3871 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3873 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3874 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3875 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3877 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3878 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3879 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3881 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3882 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3883 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3885 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3887 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3888 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3889 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3891 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3892 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3894 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3895 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3896 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3897 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3898 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3899 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3902 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3903 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3904 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3905 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3908 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3911 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3912 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3913 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3914 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3915 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3916 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3918 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3919 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3920 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3921 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3922 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3925 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3926 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3927 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3928 BN_generate_prime().)
3930 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3931 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3932 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3936 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3937 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3940 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3941 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3942 when using non-blocking I/O.
3943 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3945 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3946 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3948 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3949 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3952 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3953 configuration for the versions before that.
3954 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3956 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3957 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3958 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3959 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3962 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3963 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3964 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3967 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3971 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3972 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3973 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3975 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3976 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3978 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3979 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3980 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3981 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3982 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3983 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3984 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3987 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3988 using a local variable.
3989 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3991 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3992 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3993 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3995 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3998 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3999 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4001 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4002 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4003 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4005 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4007 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4008 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4009 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4010 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4013 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4017 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4018 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4019 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4020 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4021 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4023 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4024 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4025 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4027 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4028 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4029 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4031 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4032 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4033 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4034 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4036 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4037 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4038 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4040 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4042 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4043 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4045 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4047 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4048 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4049 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4050 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4052 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4053 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4054 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4055 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4057 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4058 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4060 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4061 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4062 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4065 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4066 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4067 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4069 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4071 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4072 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4073 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4074 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4075 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4076 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4077 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4080 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4081 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4082 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4083 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4085 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4086 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4087 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4088 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4089 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4090 the client will at least see that alert.
4093 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4097 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4098 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4099 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4101 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4102 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4103 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4104 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4107 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4108 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4109 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4111 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4112 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4113 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4114 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4115 may leak via logfiles.)
4117 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4118 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4119 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4120 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4124 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4125 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4128 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4129 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4130 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4131 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4132 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4135 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4136 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4138 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4139 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4140 followed by modular reduction.
4141 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4143 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4144 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4147 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4148 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4149 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4150 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4153 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4156 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4157 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4160 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4161 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4162 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4163 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4164 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4165 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4167 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4169 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4170 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4171 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4172 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4173 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4175 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4178 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4179 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4180 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4181 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4182 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4183 to allow the necessary settings.
4186 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4187 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4188 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4189 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4192 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4193 dh->length and always used
4195 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4197 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4198 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4199 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4200 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4201 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4206 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4208 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4214 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4215 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4216 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4217 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4219 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4220 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4221 always reject numbers >= n.
4224 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4225 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4226 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4227 variable) is not atomic.
4230 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4231 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4232 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4233 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4235 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4236 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4238 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4240 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4242 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4245 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4247 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4248 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4249 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4250 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4251 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4252 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4253 to traverse all of 'state'.
4255 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4256 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4257 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4259 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4260 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4262 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4263 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4264 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4265 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4266 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4267 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4268 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4269 further strengthens the PRNG.
4272 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4275 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4276 an error message in this case.
4279 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4282 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4283 positive and less than q.
4286 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4287 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4289 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4291 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4292 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4296 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4298 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4299 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4300 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4301 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4302 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4303 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4304 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4307 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4308 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4309 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4310 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4312 Both problems are now fixed.
4315 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4316 (previously it was 1024).
4319 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4320 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4323 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4326 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4327 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4328 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4331 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4332 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4333 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4334 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4335 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4336 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4337 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4338 environment variables.
4340 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4341 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4342 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4345 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4346 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4347 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4348 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4349 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4350 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4353 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4357 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4359 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4360 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4362 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4363 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4364 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4365 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4369 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4370 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4371 amount of data available.
4372 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4373 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4375 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4376 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4377 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4378 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4381 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4382 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4386 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4387 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4388 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4389 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4392 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4395 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4398 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4399 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4401 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4403 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4404 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4405 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4406 (but broken) behaviour.
4409 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4411 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4413 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4414 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4417 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4421 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4422 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4424 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4427 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4428 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4429 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4431 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4432 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4433 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4436 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4437 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4440 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4441 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4443 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4445 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4447 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4448 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4449 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4450 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4453 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4456 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4457 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4458 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4460 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4463 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4465 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4466 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4467 but the code is actually correct.
4470 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4471 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4472 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4473 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4474 and leaves the highest bit random.
4475 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4477 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4478 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4479 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4480 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4481 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4482 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4483 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4486 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4489 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4490 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4493 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4494 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4495 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4496 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4500 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4501 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4502 and break the signature.
4504 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4506 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4510 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4511 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4512 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4513 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4514 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4517 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4518 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4520 *) ./config script fixes.
4521 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4523 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4526 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4527 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4528 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4529 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4530 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4532 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4533 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4536 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4537 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4540 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4541 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4542 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4543 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4545 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4546 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4548 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4549 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4550 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4551 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4552 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4554 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4557 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4560 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4563 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4566 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4567 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4570 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4571 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4572 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4573 result of the server certificate verification.)
4576 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4577 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4578 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4582 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4583 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4584 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4585 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4586 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4587 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4588 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4589 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4592 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4593 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4594 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4595 happening the other way round.
4598 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4599 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4602 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4603 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4604 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4605 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4608 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4609 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4611 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4613 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4614 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4615 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4618 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4620 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4622 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4626 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4628 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4629 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4630 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4631 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4632 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4634 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4635 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4639 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4642 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4644 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4645 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4646 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4647 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4648 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4649 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4650 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4651 by the Finished messages.
4654 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4655 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4657 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4658 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4659 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4660 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4661 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4665 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4666 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4667 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4668 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4669 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4670 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4671 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4672 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4673 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4677 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4678 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4679 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4680 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4682 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4683 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4684 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4685 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4686 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4689 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4690 been tested well enough.
4693 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4694 it can return incorrect results.
4695 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4696 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4699 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4700 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4701 include zero length content when signing messages.
4704 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4705 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4708 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4711 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4715 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4716 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4717 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4718 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4719 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4720 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4723 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4724 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4726 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4727 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4729 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4730 random number < q in the DSA library.
4733 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4734 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4735 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4736 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4737 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4738 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4739 just makes things more complicated.)
4742 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4746 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4747 work better on such systems.
4748 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4750 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4751 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4752 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4755 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4756 if there was more than one signature.
4757 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4759 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4760 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4761 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4762 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4765 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4766 rather than always using the current time.
4769 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4770 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4771 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4772 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4773 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4774 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4776 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4777 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4779 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4781 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4782 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4783 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4784 the same hash value.
4786 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4787 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4788 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4789 with X509_STORE internally.
4791 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4792 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4794 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4795 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4796 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4797 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4798 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4799 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4800 entirely (maybe later...).
4802 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4804 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4805 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4806 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4807 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4808 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4809 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4810 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4811 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4813 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4814 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4816 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4817 to customise the verify behaviour.
4820 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4821 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4824 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4825 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4826 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4827 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4828 request is improperly encoded.
4831 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4832 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4835 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4836 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4838 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4839 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4843 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4844 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4845 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4848 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4849 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4850 BIO/fp routines also added.
4853 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4854 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4856 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4857 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4858 demos/state_machine.
4861 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4862 generation and verification.
4865 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4866 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4867 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4868 encode and decode it manually.
4871 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4873 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4875 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4876 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4877 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4878 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4880 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4881 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4882 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4883 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4884 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4887 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4890 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4891 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4892 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4894 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4895 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4896 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4897 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4898 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4899 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4900 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4901 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4903 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4904 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4906 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4908 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4909 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4910 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4914 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4915 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4916 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4917 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4921 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4923 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4926 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4927 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4928 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4929 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4930 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4931 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4932 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4933 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4934 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4935 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4936 short or long names are found.
4939 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4940 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4942 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4943 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4944 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4945 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4947 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4948 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4949 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4950 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4953 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4954 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4955 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4958 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4959 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4960 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4961 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4962 to allow the various flags to be set.
4965 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4966 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4967 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4968 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4969 dates to be checked.
4972 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4973 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4974 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4977 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4978 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4979 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4982 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4983 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4986 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4987 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4988 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4989 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4990 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4991 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4994 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4995 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4999 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5003 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5004 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5005 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5006 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5007 form signing output easier to verify.
5010 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5013 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5014 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5015 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5016 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5017 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5018 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5019 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5020 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5021 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5022 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5025 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5027 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5028 the syntax given in objects.README.
5029 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5031 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5034 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5035 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5036 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5037 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5038 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5039 consistent name changes.
5042 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5045 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5046 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5047 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5048 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5051 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5052 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5053 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5057 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5058 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5059 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5060 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5063 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5064 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5065 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5066 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5067 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5068 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5069 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5070 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5071 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5072 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5073 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5076 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5077 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5078 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5079 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5080 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5081 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5082 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5083 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5084 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5085 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5088 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5089 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5090 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5091 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5093 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5094 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5095 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5096 omit any duplicate addresses.
5099 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5100 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5103 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5104 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5105 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5106 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5107 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5110 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5112 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5113 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5114 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5115 Free => OPENSSL_free
5118 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5119 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5122 *) CygWin32 support.
5123 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5125 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5126 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5127 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5128 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5129 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5133 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5134 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5135 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5136 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5137 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5138 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5139 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5142 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5143 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5144 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5145 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5146 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5147 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5148 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5149 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5150 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5151 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5152 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5155 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5156 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5157 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5158 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5159 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5161 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5162 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5163 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5164 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5165 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5167 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5170 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5171 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5172 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5173 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5175 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5177 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5180 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5181 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5182 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5185 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5186 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5187 any installed hardware versions can.
5190 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5191 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5192 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5196 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5197 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5198 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5199 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5200 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5202 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5203 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5206 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5207 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5210 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5211 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5212 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5216 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5219 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5220 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5221 but no ssl client purpose.
5222 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5224 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5225 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5226 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5227 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5228 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5229 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5230 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5231 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5232 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5233 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5234 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5237 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5238 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5239 be obtained from the error queue.
5242 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5243 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5244 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5245 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5248 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5251 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5252 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5253 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5254 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5255 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5258 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5259 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5260 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5261 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5262 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5265 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5266 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5267 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5269 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5271 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5272 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5273 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5274 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5275 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5276 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5277 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5278 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5279 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5280 or "the configuration storage API"...
5282 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5284 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5285 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5287 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5289 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5291 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5292 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5293 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5294 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5295 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5296 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5297 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5299 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5300 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5303 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5304 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5305 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5306 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5309 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5310 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5311 them in a portable way.
5312 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5314 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5316 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5318 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5319 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5321 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5322 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5323 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5326 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5327 was larger than the MD block size.
5328 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5330 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5331 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5332 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5333 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5337 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5338 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5339 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5341 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5343 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5345 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5346 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5347 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5348 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5349 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5350 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5352 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5353 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5355 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5356 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5359 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5362 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5363 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5365 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5366 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5367 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5368 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5371 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5372 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5373 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5374 does not suppress any output.
5377 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5378 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5379 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5380 with all the associated security issues.
5382 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5383 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5384 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5385 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5386 use the value in the default purpose.
5389 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5390 and fix a memory leak.
5393 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5394 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5395 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5396 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5399 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5400 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5401 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5402 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5405 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5406 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5407 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5410 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5411 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5414 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5415 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5419 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5420 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5423 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5424 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5425 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5428 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5429 number generation fails.
5432 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5435 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5436 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5438 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5441 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5442 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5444 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5445 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5447 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5449 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5450 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5453 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5454 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5456 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5457 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5460 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5461 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5462 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5463 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5464 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5465 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5467 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5468 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5469 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5473 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5474 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5475 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5476 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5477 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5478 counter, some don't.)
5479 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5480 counters or duplicate objects.
5483 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5484 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5487 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5488 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5489 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5491 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5492 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5493 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5497 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5498 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5501 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5502 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5503 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5507 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5508 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5509 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5512 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5513 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5514 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5515 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5516 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5517 should work without changes.
5520 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5521 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5522 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5523 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5524 must be defined. E.g.,
5525 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5526 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5527 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5528 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5530 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5534 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5535 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5536 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5539 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5540 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5541 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5542 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5545 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5546 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5547 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5548 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5549 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5550 is prompted for as usual.
5553 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5554 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5555 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5556 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5558 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5559 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5560 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5561 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5564 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5567 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5571 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5574 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5577 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5581 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5584 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5587 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5588 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5591 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5592 options to produce them.
5595 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5596 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5599 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5603 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5604 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5605 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5606 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5607 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5608 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5609 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5612 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5615 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5616 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5617 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5620 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5621 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5623 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5624 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5627 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5628 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5629 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5633 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5634 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5636 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5637 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5638 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5639 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5640 generation becomes much faster.
5642 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5643 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5644 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5645 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5646 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5647 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5648 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5649 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5650 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5651 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5654 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5655 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5656 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5657 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5658 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5659 trial division stage.
5662 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5666 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5669 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5672 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5673 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5674 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5678 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5679 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5680 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5683 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5684 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5685 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5686 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5688 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5689 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5692 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5695 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5696 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5697 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5698 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5701 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5702 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5703 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5706 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5707 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5708 (instead of parameters) in future.
5711 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5712 when a new cipher list is set.
5715 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5716 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5719 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5720 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5721 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5723 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5724 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5725 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5726 an error is flagged.
5728 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5729 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5730 the readability was also increased :-)
5731 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5733 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5734 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5735 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5736 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5740 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5741 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5744 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5745 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5746 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5747 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5750 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5751 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5752 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5753 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5754 because they handle more complex structures.)
5757 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5758 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5759 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5760 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5762 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5763 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5764 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5765 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5766 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5767 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5768 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5771 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5772 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5773 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5774 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5775 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5778 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5781 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5782 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5783 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5784 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5785 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5788 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5792 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5793 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5794 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5795 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5798 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5801 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5802 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5803 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5804 international characters are used.
5806 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5807 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5808 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5812 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5813 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5814 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5817 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5818 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5819 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5820 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5821 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5822 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5824 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5825 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5826 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5827 be handled by the string table functions.
5829 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5830 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5831 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5832 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5833 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5837 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5838 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5839 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5840 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5841 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5843 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5844 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5845 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5846 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5849 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5850 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5851 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5852 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5853 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5857 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5858 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5859 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5860 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5861 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5862 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5863 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5864 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5866 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5867 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5868 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5871 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5872 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5873 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5874 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5875 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5876 support to pkcs8 application.
5879 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5880 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5881 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5882 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5883 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5884 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5887 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5888 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5889 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5890 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5891 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5895 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5896 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5897 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5898 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5902 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5903 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5904 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5905 and any application specific purposes.
5907 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5908 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5909 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5910 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5911 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5912 if the certificate is self signed.
5915 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5916 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5919 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5920 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5921 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5922 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5925 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5926 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5927 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5928 Update documentation.
5931 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5932 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5933 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5934 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5935 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5938 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5940 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5942 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5943 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5944 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5945 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5946 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5947 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5948 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5949 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5950 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5951 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5953 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5955 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5956 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5957 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5958 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5959 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5961 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5962 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5963 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5964 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5965 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5966 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5967 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5968 request additional information:
5969 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5970 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5972 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5973 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5974 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5977 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5978 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5981 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5984 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5985 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5987 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5988 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5989 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5993 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5994 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5995 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5997 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5998 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5999 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6000 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6001 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6002 included in OpenSSL.
6005 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6006 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6007 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6008 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6009 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6010 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6013 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6017 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6018 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6019 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6020 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6021 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6025 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6029 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6030 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6031 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6032 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6033 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6034 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6035 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6036 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6037 be maintained manually.
6039 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6040 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6041 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6042 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6043 work because people forget to call this function]
6044 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6045 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6046 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6049 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6050 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6051 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6052 should be discouraged from doing it.
6055 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6056 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6057 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6058 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6059 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6060 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6063 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6064 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6065 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6067 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6068 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6069 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6071 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6072 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6073 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6074 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6075 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6076 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6078 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6079 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6080 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6082 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6083 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6086 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6087 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6088 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6089 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6092 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6095 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6096 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6097 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6098 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6099 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6100 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6101 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6102 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6103 keys so we should be OK.
6105 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6106 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6107 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6108 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6109 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6110 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6111 stay in the name of compatibility.
6113 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6114 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6115 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6117 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6118 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6119 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6120 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6121 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6122 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6126 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6127 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6128 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6129 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6130 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6131 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6132 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6133 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6134 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6135 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6136 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6137 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6138 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6141 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6144 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6145 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6146 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6147 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6148 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6149 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6150 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6151 openssl verify ss.pem
6152 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6153 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6157 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6158 (and add it to external session representation).
6159 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6160 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6161 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6162 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6163 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6164 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6166 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6168 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6169 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6170 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6171 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6173 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6174 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6175 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6178 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6179 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6180 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6184 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6185 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6186 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6188 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6189 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6190 certificate auxiliary information.
6193 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6197 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6198 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6199 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6200 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6201 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6202 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6203 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6206 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6207 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6210 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6211 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6212 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6213 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6216 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6219 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6220 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6223 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6224 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6225 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6226 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6227 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6228 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6229 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6230 using the new 'x509' options.
6232 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6233 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6234 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6235 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6239 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6240 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6241 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6242 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6243 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6246 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6247 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6248 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6249 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6250 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6251 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6252 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6253 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6254 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6255 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6258 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6259 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6260 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6261 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6262 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6263 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6264 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6267 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6268 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6269 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6270 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6271 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6272 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6273 openssl.cnf for more info.
6276 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6277 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6278 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6279 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6280 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6281 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6282 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6283 md should be large enough anyway.
6286 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6287 for handling the random seed file.
6289 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6291 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6294 x509 (when signing).
6295 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6296 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6297 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6299 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6300 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6301 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6302 that support '-rand'.
6305 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6306 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6309 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6310 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6313 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6314 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6315 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6316 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6320 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6321 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6322 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6323 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6326 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6327 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6328 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6329 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6330 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6331 print out all the purposes.
6334 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6338 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6339 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6340 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6341 single function call.
6344 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6345 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6348 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6349 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6350 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6353 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6354 when producing the local key id.
6355 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6357 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6358 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6359 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6363 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6364 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6365 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6366 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6369 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6370 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6371 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6372 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6374 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6375 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6376 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6377 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6379 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6380 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6381 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6382 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6383 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6384 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6385 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6386 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6387 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6388 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6389 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6390 trivial: move one line.
6391 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6393 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6394 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6395 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6396 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6397 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6398 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6399 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6400 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6401 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6402 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6403 with an event loop for example.
6406 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6407 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6408 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6409 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6410 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6411 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6412 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6413 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6414 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6417 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6418 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6419 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6420 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6421 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6422 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6425 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6426 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6427 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6428 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6430 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6431 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6432 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6433 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6437 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6438 (still largely untested)
6441 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6442 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6445 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6446 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6449 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6450 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6451 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6454 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6455 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6456 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6457 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6458 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6461 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6464 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6465 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6466 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6467 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6468 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6472 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6473 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6476 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6479 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6480 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6481 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6482 are otherwise ignored at present.
6485 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6486 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6487 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6488 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6489 copied until the next read.
6492 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6493 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6494 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6497 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6498 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6499 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6500 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6501 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6502 associated functions.
6505 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6506 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6507 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6508 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6509 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6510 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6511 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6512 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6513 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6517 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6518 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6519 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6520 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6523 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6524 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6525 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6526 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6527 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6531 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6532 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6536 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6537 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6538 extensions to be obtained and added.
6541 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6542 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6545 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6547 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6548 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6550 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6551 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6553 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6557 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6558 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6559 DH parameters contain its length).
6561 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6562 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6563 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6564 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6565 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6566 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6567 utter importance to use
6568 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6570 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6571 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6572 attacks may become possible!
6575 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6578 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6579 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6582 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6583 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6584 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6588 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6589 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6590 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6591 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6592 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6593 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6594 private key operations.
6597 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6600 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6601 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6603 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6604 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6605 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6606 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6607 the password callback is called.
6608 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6610 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6612 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6613 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6614 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6615 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6616 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6617 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6620 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6621 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6622 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6623 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6624 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6625 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6628 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6631 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6632 delete an unused file.
6635 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6636 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6637 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6638 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6641 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6642 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6643 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6647 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6648 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6649 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6651 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6652 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6653 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6654 comparison" warnings.
6655 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6658 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6659 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6660 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6663 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6664 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6666 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6667 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6669 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6670 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6671 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6673 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6674 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6675 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6676 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6677 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6679 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6681 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6682 The interface is as follows:
6683 Applications can use
6684 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6685 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6686 "off" is now the default.
6687 The library internally uses
6688 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6689 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6690 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6692 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6693 even the default) are now avoided.
6695 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6696 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6697 than just having a counter.
6699 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6701 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6705 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6706 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6707 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6708 Initial "mode" flags are:
6710 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6711 a single record has been written.
6712 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6713 retries use the same buffer location.
6714 (But all of the contents must be
6718 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6721 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6722 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6724 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6725 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6726 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6729 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6730 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6732 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6734 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6735 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6736 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6737 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6739 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6740 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6742 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6743 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6744 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6745 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6746 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6747 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6750 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6751 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6752 necessary function names.
6755 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6756 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6757 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6758 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6761 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6762 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6763 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6766 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6767 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6768 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6769 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6771 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6775 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6776 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6777 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6780 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6781 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6785 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6786 for the encoded length.
6787 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6789 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6792 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6793 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6794 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6795 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6798 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6799 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6800 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6802 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6803 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6804 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6808 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6809 to use the new extension code.
6812 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6813 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6814 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6818 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6819 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6820 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6824 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6827 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6828 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6829 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6832 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6833 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6834 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6835 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6838 *) DES library cleanups.
6841 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6842 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6843 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6844 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6845 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6849 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6850 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6853 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6854 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6855 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6856 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6857 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6858 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6859 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6860 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6861 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6864 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6865 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6866 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6867 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6868 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6869 value doesn't matter.
6872 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6876 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6877 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6878 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6879 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6881 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6884 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6885 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6886 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6888 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6889 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6891 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6894 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6897 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6900 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6904 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6906 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6908 *) Updated some demos.
6909 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6911 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6914 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6917 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6920 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6921 instead of using a fixed path.
6924 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6927 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6931 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6933 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6934 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6935 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6937 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6938 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6939 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6940 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6941 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6942 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6943 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6944 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6945 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6946 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6949 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6950 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6953 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6954 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6955 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6956 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6957 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6959 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6962 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6963 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6964 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6967 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6970 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6971 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6972 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6973 key elements as negative integers.
6976 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6977 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6980 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6982 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6983 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6984 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6987 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6988 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6989 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6990 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6991 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6994 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6997 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6998 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6999 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7000 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7002 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7003 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7004 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7006 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7007 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7008 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7009 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7010 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7011 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7012 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7013 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7014 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7016 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7017 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7018 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7019 does not influence s as it used to.
7021 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7022 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7023 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7024 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7025 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7026 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7029 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7030 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7031 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7035 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7036 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7037 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7041 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7042 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7043 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7047 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7048 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7051 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7052 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7057 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7058 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7060 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7061 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7063 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7066 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7069 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7070 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7072 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7073 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7074 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7078 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7079 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7080 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7081 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7082 now it really counts the depth.
7085 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7086 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7087 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7088 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7089 didn't match the private key).
7091 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7092 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7093 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7096 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7099 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7103 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7104 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7105 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7108 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7111 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7112 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7113 such as /usr/local/bin.
7116 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7117 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7119 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7122 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7123 extension adding in x509 utility.
7126 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7129 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7133 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7136 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7137 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7138 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7139 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7140 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7141 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7142 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7143 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7144 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7145 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7148 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7151 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7152 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7155 *) Fix some race conditions.
7158 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7159 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7162 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7165 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7166 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7167 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7168 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7170 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7171 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7173 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7174 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7175 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7177 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7178 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7180 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7183 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7184 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7186 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7189 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7190 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7192 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7193 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7196 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7197 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7200 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7201 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7204 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7205 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7208 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7209 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7212 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7213 support typesafe stack.
7216 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7217 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7219 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7220 old X509V3 handling code.
7223 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7226 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7229 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7232 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7233 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7235 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7236 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7237 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7238 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7239 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7242 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7243 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7244 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7245 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7246 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7248 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7249 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7250 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7253 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7254 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7255 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7256 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7258 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7259 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7260 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7261 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7262 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7263 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7266 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7267 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7270 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7271 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7274 *) Tweaks to Configure
7275 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7277 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7281 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7284 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7285 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7288 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7289 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7290 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7293 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7296 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7297 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7300 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7301 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7302 to library startup routines.
7305 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7306 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7307 codes along the way.
7310 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7311 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7312 objects to objects.h
7315 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7316 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7319 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7320 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7322 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7323 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7324 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7326 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7327 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7328 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7330 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7331 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7332 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7335 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7337 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7338 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7341 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7342 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7343 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7344 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7345 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7347 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7348 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7349 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7351 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7353 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7355 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7357 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7358 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7360 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7361 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7362 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7363 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7365 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7368 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7369 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7370 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7371 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7374 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7375 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7376 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7379 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7380 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7381 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7382 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7383 installed as `perl').
7384 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7386 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7387 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7389 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7390 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7391 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7392 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7393 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7396 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7399 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7400 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7401 is horrible: I feel ill....
7404 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7405 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7406 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7407 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7410 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7411 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7413 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7414 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7415 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7416 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7418 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7419 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7420 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7421 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7422 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7423 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7425 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7427 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7428 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7430 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7431 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7433 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7436 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7437 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7441 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7442 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7443 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7444 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7445 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7446 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7447 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7448 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7449 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7450 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7451 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7453 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7456 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7457 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7458 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7459 for linking it into DSOs.
7460 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7462 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7466 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7467 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7468 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7469 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7470 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7471 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7473 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7474 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7475 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7476 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7477 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7478 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7479 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7481 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7482 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7483 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7487 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7488 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7489 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7490 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7493 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7494 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7495 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7496 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7497 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7501 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7502 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7503 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7504 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7505 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7507 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7508 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7509 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7511 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7512 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7514 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7515 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7516 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7517 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7518 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7521 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7522 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7523 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7524 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7525 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7526 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7527 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7530 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7532 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7533 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7536 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7537 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7539 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7540 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7543 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7544 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7545 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7546 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7547 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7549 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7550 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7551 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7552 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7553 no way to reconfigure them.
7554 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7555 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7556 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7557 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7558 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7559 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7561 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7562 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7563 recognized by the users.
7564 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7566 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7567 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7568 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7569 already masked variable.
7570 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7572 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7573 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7575 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7576 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7577 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7578 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7580 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7581 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7582 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7584 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7585 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7586 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7587 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7588 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7589 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7590 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7591 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7593 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7595 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7596 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7597 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7599 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7600 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7604 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7605 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7607 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7608 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7609 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7610 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7613 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7616 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7617 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7619 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7622 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7623 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7626 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7627 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7630 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7631 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7632 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7633 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7634 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7635 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7636 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7639 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7640 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7642 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7643 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7644 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7645 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7646 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7648 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7649 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7650 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7653 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7654 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7658 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7659 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7660 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7662 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7663 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7664 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7668 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7669 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7670 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7671 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7674 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7675 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7676 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7677 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7680 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7681 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7682 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7683 so it wasn't spotted.
7684 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7686 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7687 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7688 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7689 vectors if you have them.
7692 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7693 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7696 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7697 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7698 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7699 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7701 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7702 it will update them.
7705 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7706 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7707 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7708 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7709 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7710 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7711 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7712 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7714 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7715 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7716 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7717 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7718 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7719 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7720 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7721 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7722 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7723 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7725 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7726 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7727 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7728 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7729 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7732 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7736 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7737 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7739 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7740 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7742 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7743 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7746 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7747 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7749 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7750 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7752 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7755 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7759 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7760 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7761 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7762 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7764 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7767 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7770 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7773 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7774 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7777 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7778 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7782 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7783 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7786 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7787 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7788 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7791 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7792 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7793 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7794 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7795 properly to be processed.
7798 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7799 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7800 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7803 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7804 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7806 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7807 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7808 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7809 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7810 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7811 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7812 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7813 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7814 or delete all the .err files.
7817 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7818 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7819 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7820 to regenerate it if needed.
7821 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7822 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7824 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7825 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7827 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7828 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7829 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7830 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7831 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7834 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7835 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7837 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7838 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7840 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7841 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7842 error, but didn't set one).
7843 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7845 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7848 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7849 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7852 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7853 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7855 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7856 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7857 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7858 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7859 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7860 OID is not part of the table.
7863 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7864 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7867 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7870 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7871 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7875 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7876 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7878 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7880 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7882 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7883 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7885 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7886 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7888 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7889 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7891 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7892 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7895 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7896 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7899 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7900 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7902 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7903 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7905 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7906 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7908 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7909 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7911 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7912 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7913 unused in the certificate verification process.
7914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7916 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7917 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7920 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7921 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7922 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7924 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7925 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7926 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7927 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7928 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7930 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7931 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7934 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7937 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7940 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7941 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7943 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7946 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7949 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7952 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7953 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7954 other error libraries.
7957 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7960 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7961 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7965 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7966 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7967 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7968 the new set of documenation files.
7969 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7971 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7972 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7973 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7974 number of arguments.
7975 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7977 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7980 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7981 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7982 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7984 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7987 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7991 unixware-2.0-pentium
7995 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7996 before they are needed.
7999 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8003 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8005 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8006 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8007 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8009 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8012 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8013 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8016 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8017 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8018 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8020 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8021 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8024 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8025 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8027 *) Updated the README file.
8028 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8030 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8031 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8032 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8034 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8035 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8038 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8039 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8040 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8041 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8042 o removed obsolete TODO file
8043 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8046 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8047 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8048 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

8051 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8052 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8054 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8057 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8058 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8059 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8061 [The OpenSSL Project]
8064 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8066 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8069 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8072 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8073 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8076 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8077 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8081 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8083 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8085 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8088 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8091 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8094 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8097 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8100 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8103 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8106 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8109 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8112 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8115 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8118 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8121 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8124 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8127 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8130 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8133 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8136 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8137 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8138 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8141 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8142 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8145 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8148 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8151 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8152 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8155 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8158 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8161 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8162 bytes sent in the client random.
8163 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
