5 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
8 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
10 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
11 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
12 to support policy checking and print out.
15 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
16 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
17 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
18 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
20 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
23 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
24 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
26 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
27 implementation contributed by IBM.
28 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
30 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
31 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
32 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
33 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
35 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
36 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
38 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
39 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
40 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
41 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
42 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
43 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
46 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
47 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
48 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
49 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
50 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
51 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
52 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
55 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
58 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
59 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
60 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
61 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
62 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
63 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
64 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
65 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
68 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
69 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
70 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
71 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
74 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
77 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
80 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
81 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
82 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
83 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
84 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
85 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
89 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
90 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
93 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
94 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
95 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
98 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
99 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
100 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
104 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
105 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
108 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
109 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
110 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
111 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
114 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
115 initialised value as BN_new().
116 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
118 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
121 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
122 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
123 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
124 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
125 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
126 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
127 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
128 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
129 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
130 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
131 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
132 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
133 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
134 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
135 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
137 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
138 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
139 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
140 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
143 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
144 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
145 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
146 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
147 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
148 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
149 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
150 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
151 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
154 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
155 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
156 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
157 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
158 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
159 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
160 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
163 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
164 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
165 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
166 these have been updated also.
169 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
170 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
171 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
172 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
173 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
177 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
178 structure of type "other".
181 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
182 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
183 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
184 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
185 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
186 situation in the script.
187 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
189 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
190 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
191 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
192 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
193 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
194 used as premaster secret.
195 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
197 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
198 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
199 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
201 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
202 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
204 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
205 control of the error stack.
208 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
211 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
212 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
213 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
214 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
217 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
218 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
219 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
222 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
223 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
224 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
228 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
229 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
230 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
231 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
234 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
235 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
236 the following flags are defined:
238 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
239 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
240 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
243 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
244 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
245 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
246 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
250 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
251 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
252 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
253 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
254 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
257 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
258 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
259 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
262 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
263 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
264 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
265 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
266 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
267 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
270 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
274 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
277 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
280 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
283 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
284 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
285 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
286 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
287 default implementation more easily.
290 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
294 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
295 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
298 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
299 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
300 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
301 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
303 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
304 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
305 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
309 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
310 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
314 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
315 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
316 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
317 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
318 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
320 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
322 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
323 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
324 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
328 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
329 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
330 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
331 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
332 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
333 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
334 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
335 linker additions, eg;
336 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
339 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
340 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
341 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
344 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
345 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
346 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
350 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
351 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
352 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
353 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
356 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
357 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
358 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
359 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
360 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
361 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
362 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
363 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
364 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
365 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
367 Example for using the new callback interface:
369 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
373 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
375 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
376 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
377 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
378 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
379 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
380 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
385 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
386 available to TLS with the number defined in
387 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
390 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
391 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
393 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
394 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
395 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
396 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
398 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
399 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
401 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
402 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
406 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
407 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
410 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
413 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
414 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
416 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
417 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
419 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
420 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
421 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
423 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
425 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
428 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
429 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
430 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
431 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
433 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
434 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
435 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
436 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
437 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
438 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
439 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
440 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
442 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
443 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
446 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
447 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
449 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
450 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
451 files while avoiding the low level API.
453 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
454 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
455 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
456 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
458 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
459 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
460 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
461 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
462 instead of the low level API.
465 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
466 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
467 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
468 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
469 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
472 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
473 down to the template encoder.
476 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
477 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
480 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
481 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
482 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
483 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
485 *) Add ECDH engine support.
486 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
488 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
489 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
491 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
492 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
495 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
496 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
497 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
500 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
501 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
503 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
504 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
506 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
507 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
510 EC_GF2m_simple_method
514 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
515 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
516 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
517 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
518 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
519 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
521 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
522 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
525 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
526 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
527 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
528 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
529 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
530 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
531 various internal method names.)
533 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
534 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
536 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
537 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
539 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
540 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
542 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
543 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
544 methods are undefined.
546 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
547 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
549 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
550 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
551 length of the modulus.
553 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
554 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
556 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
557 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
559 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
560 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
562 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
563 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
564 used) in the following functions [macros]:
567 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
568 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
569 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
570 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
572 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
573 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
574 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
575 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
577 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
578 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
580 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
581 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
582 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
583 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
584 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
586 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
587 This applies to the following functions:
592 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
593 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
596 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
600 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
605 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
607 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
608 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
609 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
610 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
611 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
613 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
614 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
616 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
617 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
618 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
620 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
621 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
623 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
624 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
625 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
626 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
627 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
629 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
631 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
632 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
633 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
634 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
635 These control ASN1 encoding details:
636 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
637 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
638 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
639 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
640 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
641 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
642 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
644 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
648 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
649 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
650 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
652 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
653 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
654 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
655 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
662 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
663 EC_POINT_oct2point().
664 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
666 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
667 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
668 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
670 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
671 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
672 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
673 adding different types of curves.
674 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
676 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
677 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
678 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
681 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
682 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
684 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
685 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
686 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
687 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
689 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
691 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
692 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
694 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
695 library. Most notably,
696 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
697 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
698 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
699 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
700 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
701 extracted before the specific public key;
702 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
703 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
705 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
706 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
708 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
709 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
710 EC_get_builtin_curves().
711 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
715 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
717 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
718 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
719 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
720 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
721 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
722 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
726 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [XX xxx XXXX]
728 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
729 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
730 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
731 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
732 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
735 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
738 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
739 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
741 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
742 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
743 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
744 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
745 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
746 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
747 rather than being initialized to 1.
750 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
752 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
753 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
754 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
756 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
758 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
760 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
761 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
762 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
763 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
764 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
765 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
768 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
769 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
770 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
771 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
772 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
776 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
777 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
778 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
779 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
780 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
783 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
784 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
785 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
789 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
790 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
792 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
795 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
797 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
799 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
800 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
802 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
804 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
805 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
809 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
810 exiting on the first error in a request.
813 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
814 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
818 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
819 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
820 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
821 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
823 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
824 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
827 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
828 blocks during encryption.
831 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
832 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
833 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
834 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
838 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
839 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
840 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
841 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
842 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
846 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
848 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
849 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
850 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
851 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
854 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
855 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
856 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
857 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
858 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
860 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
861 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
862 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
863 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
864 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
865 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
866 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
867 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
868 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
871 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
872 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
873 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
874 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
877 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
878 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
881 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
883 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
884 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
885 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
886 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
887 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
889 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
890 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
891 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
893 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
894 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
895 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
896 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
897 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
899 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
900 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
901 used by default when no-err is given.
904 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
905 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
907 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
908 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
909 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
910 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
911 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
913 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
914 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
915 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
916 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
918 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
920 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
922 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
924 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
925 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
926 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
927 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
931 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
932 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
934 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
935 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
938 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
939 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
940 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
941 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
944 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
945 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
946 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
947 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
948 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
949 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
953 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
954 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
957 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
958 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
959 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
960 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
962 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
964 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
967 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
968 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
969 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
970 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
972 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
976 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
977 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
981 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
982 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
983 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
984 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
985 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
986 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
988 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
989 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
990 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
991 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
992 have to be made anyway).
995 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
996 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
997 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1000 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1001 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1002 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1005 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1006 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1007 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1009 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1010 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1011 edit numbers of the version.
1012 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1014 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1015 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1016 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1018 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1019 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1021 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1022 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1023 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1025 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1026 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1028 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1029 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1031 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1032 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1034 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1035 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1037 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1039 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1041 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1042 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1043 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1045 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1046 representations in a platform independent manner.
1047 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1049 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1050 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1051 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1053 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1055 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1057 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1058 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1060 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1062 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1064 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1065 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1066 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1068 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1070 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1072 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1073 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1075 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1076 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1078 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1079 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1081 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1082 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1084 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1086 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1088 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1089 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1091 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1092 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1094 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1095 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1097 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1099 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1100 the 0.9.6 release series:
1102 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1103 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1105 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1107 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1110 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1111 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1113 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1114 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1116 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1117 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1118 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1119 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1121 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1122 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1123 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1125 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1126 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1127 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1128 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1130 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1131 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1132 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1135 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1136 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1137 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1138 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1139 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1140 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1141 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1142 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1145 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1146 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1147 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1150 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1151 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1152 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1153 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1154 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1156 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1157 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1159 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1160 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1163 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1164 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1165 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1166 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1167 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1168 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1171 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1172 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1173 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1176 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1177 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1180 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1181 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1182 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1183 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1184 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1185 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1186 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1189 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1190 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1191 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1192 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1193 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1194 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1197 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1198 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1199 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1200 declaration has been changed from
1203 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1204 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1205 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1206 has been changed into
1207 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1209 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1210 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1211 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1213 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1214 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1216 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1217 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1218 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1219 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1220 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1221 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1222 always load it have also been added.
1225 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1226 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1227 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1229 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1231 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1232 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1233 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1235 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1236 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1237 command line option can be used to specify an
1241 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1242 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1245 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1246 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1247 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1250 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1251 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1252 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1253 to work with the new engine framework.
1254 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1256 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1257 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1258 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1259 to work with the new engine framework.
1262 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1263 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1264 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1266 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1267 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1269 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1270 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1271 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1272 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1274 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1276 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1277 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1279 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1280 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1282 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1283 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1284 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1287 *) Add new functions
1289 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1290 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1291 These are similar to
1294 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1295 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1296 still in the error queue.
1297 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1299 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1301 default_algorithms = ALL
1302 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1305 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1308 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1311 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1312 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1313 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1314 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1316 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1317 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1319 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1320 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1322 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1323 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1326 *) New functions/macros
1328 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1329 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1330 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1331 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1333 to request calling a callback function
1335 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1336 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1338 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1339 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1340 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1341 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1342 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1343 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1344 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1345 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1346 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1347 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1349 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1350 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1353 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1354 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1355 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1356 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1357 the configuration scripts.
1359 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1360 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1361 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1363 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1364 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1366 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1367 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1368 when reusing an existing buffer.
1371 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1372 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1375 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1376 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1379 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1380 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1381 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1382 has the same effect.
1383 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1385 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1386 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1387 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1388 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1389 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1390 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1393 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1394 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1395 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1396 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1398 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1399 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1400 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1401 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1403 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1404 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1407 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1408 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1409 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1410 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1411 default), and then completely removed.
1414 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1415 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1416 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1417 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1418 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1419 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1420 particular extension is supported.
1423 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1424 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1427 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1428 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1429 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1430 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1431 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1432 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1433 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1434 requires the destination to be valid.
1436 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1437 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1440 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1441 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1442 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1445 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1446 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1448 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1449 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1450 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1451 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1452 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1453 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1454 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1455 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1456 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1457 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1458 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1459 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1460 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1461 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1462 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1463 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1464 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1465 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1466 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1470 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1473 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1474 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1475 become part of libeay.num as well.
1478 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1479 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1480 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1481 false once a handshake has been completed.
1482 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1483 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1484 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1485 client has followed the request.)
1488 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1489 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1490 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1491 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1493 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1494 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1495 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1498 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1501 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1502 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1503 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1506 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1507 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1510 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1511 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1512 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1513 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1516 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1517 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1518 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1519 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1520 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1521 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1524 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1525 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1526 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1527 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1528 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1529 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1530 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1531 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1534 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1535 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1538 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1541 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1542 md_data void pointer.
1545 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1546 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1547 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1548 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1549 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1550 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1553 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1554 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1555 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1556 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1557 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1558 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1559 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1560 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1561 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1562 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1563 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1564 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1565 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1566 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1567 rather than letting it slide.
1569 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1570 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1571 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1574 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1575 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1576 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1577 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1578 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1579 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1580 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1581 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1582 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1585 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1586 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1587 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1588 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1589 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1591 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1594 *) Add EVP test program.
1597 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1600 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1601 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1602 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1603 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1604 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1607 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1608 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1609 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1610 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1611 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1612 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1613 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1615 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1616 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1617 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1622 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1623 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1624 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1625 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1626 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1630 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1631 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1632 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1633 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1636 des_key_schedule ks;
1638 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1639 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1641 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1644 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1645 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1646 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1647 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1648 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1649 functions prevents this.
1652 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1655 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1656 correct _ecb suffix.
1659 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1660 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1661 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1662 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1663 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1666 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1669 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1670 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1671 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1672 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1674 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1675 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1677 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1678 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1679 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1680 via Richard Levitte]
1682 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1683 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1684 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1685 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1688 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1691 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

1706 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1707 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1709 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1710 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1711 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1712 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1713 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1714 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1717 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1718 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1721 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1722 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1723 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1724 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1726 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1727 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1728 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1729 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1730 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1731 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1735 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1736 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1737 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1738 and interrupts/cancellations.
1741 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1742 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1745 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1746 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1747 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1749 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1750 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1754 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1755 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1756 than this minimum value is recommended.
1759 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1760 that are easily reachable.
1763 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1764 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1766 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1768 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1769 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1770 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1771 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1774 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1775 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1776 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1779 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1780 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1781 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1782 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1783 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1784 internally such as S/MIME.
1786 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1787 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1788 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1790 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1794 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1795 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1796 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1797 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1799 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1801 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1803 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1804 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1805 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1809 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1810 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1811 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1812 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1813 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1814 a window system and the like.
1817 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1818 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1821 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1822 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1823 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1824 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1825 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1826 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1827 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1828 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1829 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1833 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1834 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1838 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1839 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1840 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1841 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1842 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1843 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1844 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1845 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1848 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1849 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1850 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1851 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1852 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1853 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1854 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1855 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1856 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1857 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1858 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1859 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1860 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1861 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1862 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1863 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1864 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1867 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1868 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1869 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1870 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1871 internal engine_int.h header.
1874 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1875 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1876 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1877 modify their own ones).
1880 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1881 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1882 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1883 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1884 later on via ctrl() commands.
1885 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1886 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1887 structural references.
1888 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1889 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1890 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1891 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1892 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1893 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1894 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1895 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1896 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1897 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1898 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1899 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1902 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1903 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1904 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1905 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1906 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1907 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1908 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1909 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1912 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1913 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1916 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1917 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1920 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1921 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1922 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1923 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1924 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1925 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1926 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1929 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1930 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1931 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1932 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1933 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1935 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1936 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1940 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1942 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1943 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1944 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1946 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1947 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1949 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1950 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1951 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1953 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1954 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1956 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1957 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1959 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1961 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1962 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1963 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1966 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1967 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1970 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1971 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1972 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1973 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1974 is 40 of more characters long.
1977 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1978 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1982 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1983 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1986 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1987 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1991 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1993 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1994 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1997 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1999 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2000 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2001 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2003 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2004 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2006 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2009 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2013 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2014 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2015 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2016 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2018 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2020 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2021 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2023 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2024 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2025 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2026 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2027 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2028 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2030 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2031 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2033 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2034 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2036 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2037 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2039 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2040 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2041 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2042 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2044 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2045 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2047 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2048 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2050 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2051 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2052 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2053 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2054 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2057 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2058 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2059 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2060 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2063 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2064 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2065 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2069 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2070 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2071 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2072 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2073 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2074 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2075 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2076 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2080 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2081 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2084 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2085 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2086 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2087 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2090 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2091 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2092 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2093 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2094 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2095 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2096 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2097 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2098 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2099 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2102 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2103 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2104 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2105 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2106 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2107 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2108 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2109 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2111 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2112 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2113 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2114 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2117 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2118 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2119 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2120 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2122 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2123 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2124 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2125 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2126 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2130 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2131 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2132 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2133 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2137 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2138 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2139 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2142 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2143 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2144 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2145 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2146 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2149 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2152 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2153 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2154 option to ocsp utility.
2157 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2158 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2159 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2160 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2161 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2162 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2163 the request is nonce-less.
2166 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2167 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2168 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2171 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2172 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2173 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2176 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2177 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2178 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2179 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2180 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2183 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2184 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2188 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2189 additional certificates supplied.
2192 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2193 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2197 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2198 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2201 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2202 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2203 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2204 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2205 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2206 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2207 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2208 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2209 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2211 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2212 request to response.
2215 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2216 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2217 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2218 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2219 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2220 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2221 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2222 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2223 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2224 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2225 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2228 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2229 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2230 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2231 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2234 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2235 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2237 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2238 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2239 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2242 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2243 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2244 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2245 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2246 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2248 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2249 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2250 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2253 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2254 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2255 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2256 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2257 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2258 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2259 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2260 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2262 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2263 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2264 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2265 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2266 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2267 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2270 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2271 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2272 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2273 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2274 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2275 printout format cleaned up.
2278 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2279 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2280 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2281 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2282 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2283 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2284 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2285 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2288 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2289 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2290 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2291 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2292 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2293 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2294 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2295 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2298 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2299 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2300 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2301 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2303 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2305 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2306 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2307 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2308 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2311 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2312 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2313 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2314 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2316 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2318 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2319 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2320 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2321 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2323 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2324 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2326 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2327 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2328 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2331 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2332 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2333 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2336 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2337 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2338 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2339 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2340 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2341 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2342 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2343 functions are provided:
2345 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2346 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2347 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2348 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2350 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2351 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2352 extended allocation function is enabled.
2353 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2354 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2355 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2357 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2358 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2359 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2360 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2361 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2364 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2365 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2366 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2368 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2369 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2370 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2373 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2374 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2375 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2376 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2377 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2378 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2379 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2380 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2381 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2384 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2385 provide utility functions which an application needing
2386 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2387 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2388 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2390 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2391 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2392 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2393 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2394 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2395 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2396 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2397 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2398 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2400 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2401 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2402 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2403 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2406 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2407 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2408 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2409 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2410 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2411 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2412 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2413 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2414 will be added elsewhere.
2417 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2418 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2419 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2420 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2423 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2424 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2425 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2426 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2427 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2428 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2429 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2430 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2431 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2432 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2433 to produce the required SET OF.
2436 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2437 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2438 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2441 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2442 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2443 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2444 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2445 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2446 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2449 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2450 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2451 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2454 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2455 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2456 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2459 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2460 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2461 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2462 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2463 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2466 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2467 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2470 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2471 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2472 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2473 certifcates and CRLs.
2476 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2477 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2478 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2481 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2482 entries for variables.
2485 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2486 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2487 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2488 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2491 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2492 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2493 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2494 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2495 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2496 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2499 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2500 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2502 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2503 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2504 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2507 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2511 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2512 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2513 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2514 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2515 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2516 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2519 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2522 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2523 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2524 for now but they will eventually go away.
2527 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2528 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2529 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2530 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2531 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2532 has also been converted to the new form.
2535 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2536 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2537 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2538 for negative moduli.
2541 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2542 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2545 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2549 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2550 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2551 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2552 type-specific callbacks.
2555 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2557 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2558 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2560 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2561 in sections depending on the subject.
2564 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2568 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2569 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2570 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2571 be handled deterministically).
2572 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2574 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2575 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2576 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2579 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2582 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2583 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2584 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2585 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2586 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2589 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2590 sign of the number in question.
2592 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2594 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2595 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2596 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2597 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2598 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2601 *) New function BN_swap.
2604 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2605 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2606 results on negative inputs.
2609 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2610 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2611 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2614 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2615 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2616 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2617 and add new functions:
2626 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2630 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2632 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2633 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2635 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2636 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2637 be reduced modulo m.
2638 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2641 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2642 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2643 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2645 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2646 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2647 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2648 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2649 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2650 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2655 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2656 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2657 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2658 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2659 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2661 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2662 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2663 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2667 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2670 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2671 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2674 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2675 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2676 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2677 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2681 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2684 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2687 *) Add the following functions:
2689 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2691 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2693 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2695 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2696 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2697 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2698 libraries unless it's really needed.
2700 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2701 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2702 declarations (they differed!).
2705 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2708 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2711 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2714 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2715 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2718 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2719 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2720 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2722 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2723 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2726 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2729 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2732 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2735 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2736 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2737 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2739 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2740 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2741 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2742 different shared library filenames on each system.
2745 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2748 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2749 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2750 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2752 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2755 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2756 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2757 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2758 binary backward compatibility.
2759 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2760 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2761 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2765 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2766 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2767 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2768 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2772 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2775 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2776 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2777 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2778 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2782 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2785 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
2787 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2788 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
2789 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2791 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
2793 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
2795 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
2796 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
2799 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2801 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2803 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2804 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2806 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2807 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2811 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2812 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2816 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2817 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2818 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2819 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2821 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2822 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2825 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2827 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2828 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2829 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2830 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2833 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2834 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2835 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2836 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2837 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2839 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2840 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2841 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2842 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2843 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2844 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2845 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2846 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2847 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2850 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2852 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2853 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2854 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2855 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2856 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2858 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2859 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2860 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2862 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2864 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2865 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2866 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2867 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2868 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2869 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2872 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2873 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2874 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2875 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2876 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2879 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2880 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2881 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2883 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2884 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2885 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2889 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2890 being properly terminated.
2893 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2894 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2895 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2896 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2898 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2899 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2900 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2901 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2902 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2903 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2904 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2906 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2908 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2909 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2912 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2913 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2914 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2915 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2916 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2917 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2918 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2919 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2921 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2922 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2923 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2924 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2925 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2927 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2928 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2931 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2933 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2934 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2935 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2937 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2939 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2940 and get fix the header length calculation.
2941 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2942 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2945 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2946 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2947 assertions could call abort()).
2948 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2950 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2952 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2953 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2954 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2956 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2958 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2959 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2960 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2963 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2967 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2968 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2969 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2971 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2972 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2973 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2974 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2975 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2979 *) Changes in security patch:
2981 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2982 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2983 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2986 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2987 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2988 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2989 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2990 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2992 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2994 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2996 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2997 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2998 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3000 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3001 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
3002 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3004 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3005 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
3006 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3008 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3010 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3011 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3012 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3014 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3015 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3017 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3018 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3019 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3020 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3021 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3022 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3025 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3026 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3027 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3028 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3031 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3034 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3035 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3036 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3037 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3038 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3039 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3041 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3042 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3043 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3044 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3045 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3048 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3049 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3050 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3051 BN_generate_prime().)
3053 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3054 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3055 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3059 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3060 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3063 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3064 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3065 when using non-blocking I/O.
3066 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3068 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3069 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3071 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3072 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3075 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3076 configuration for the versions before that.
3077 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3079 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3080 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3081 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3082 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3085 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3086 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3087 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3090 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3094 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3095 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3096 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3098 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3099 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3101 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3102 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3103 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3104 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3105 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3106 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3107 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3110 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3111 using a local variable.
3112 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3114 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3115 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3116 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3118 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3121 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3122 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3124 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3125 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3126 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3128 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3130 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3131 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3132 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3133 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3136 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3140 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3141 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3142 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3143 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3144 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3146 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3147 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3148 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3150 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3151 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3152 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3154 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3155 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3156 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3157 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3159 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3160 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3161 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3163 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3165 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3166 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3168 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3170 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3171 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3172 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3173 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3175 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3176 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3177 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3178 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3180 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3181 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3183 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3184 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3185 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3188 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3189 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3190 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3192 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3194 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3195 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3196 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3197 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3198 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3199 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3200 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3203 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3204 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3205 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3206 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3208 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3209 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3210 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3211 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3212 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3213 the client will at least see that alert.
3216 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3220 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3221 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3222 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3224 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3225 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3226 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3227 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3230 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3231 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3232 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3234 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3235 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3236 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3237 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3238 may leak via logfiles.)
3240 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3241 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3242 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3243 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3247 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3248 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3251 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3252 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3253 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3254 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3255 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3258 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3259 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3261 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3262 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3263 followed by modular reduction.
3264 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3266 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3267 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3270 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3271 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3272 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3273 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3276 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3279 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3280 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3283 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3284 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3285 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3286 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3287 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3288 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3290 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3292 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3293 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3294 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3295 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3296 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3298 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3301 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3302 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3303 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3304 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3305 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3306 to allow the necessary settings.
3309 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3310 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3311 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3312 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3315 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3316 dh->length and always used
3318 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3320 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3321 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3322 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3323 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3324 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3329 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3331 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3337 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3338 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3339 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3340 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3342 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3343 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3344 always reject numbers >= n.
3347 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3348 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3349 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3350 variable) is not atomic.
3353 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3354 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3355 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3356 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3358 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3359 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3361 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3363 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3365 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3368 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3370 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3371 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3372 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3373 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3374 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3375 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3376 to traverse all of 'state'.
3378 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3379 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3380 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3382 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3383 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3385 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3386 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3387 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3388 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3389 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3390 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3391 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3392 further strengthens the PRNG.
3395 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3398 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3399 an error message in this case.
3402 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3405 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3406 positive and less than q.
3409 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3410 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3412 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3414 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3415 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3419 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3421 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3422 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3423 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3424 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3425 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3426 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3427 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3430 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3431 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3432 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3433 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3435 Both problems are now fixed.
3438 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3439 (previously it was 1024).
3442 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3443 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3446 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3449 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3450 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3451 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3454 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3455 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3456 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3457 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3458 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3459 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3460 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3461 environment variables.
3463 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3464 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3465 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3468 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3469 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3470 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3471 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3472 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3473 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3476 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3480 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3482 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3483 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3485 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3486 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3487 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3488 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3492 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3493 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3494 amount of data available.
3495 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3496 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3498 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3499 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3500 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3501 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3504 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3505 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3509 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3510 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3511 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3512 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3515 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3518 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3521 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3522 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3524 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3526 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3527 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3528 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3529 (but broken) behaviour.
3532 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3534 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3536 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3537 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3540 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3544 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3545 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3547 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3550 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3551 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3552 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3554 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3555 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3556 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3559 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3560 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3563 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3564 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3566 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3568 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3570 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3571 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3572 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3573 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3576 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3579 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3580 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3581 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3583 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3586 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3588 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3589 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3590 but the code is actually correct.
3593 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3594 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3595 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3596 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3597 and leaves the highest bit random.
3598 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3600 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3601 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3602 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3603 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3604 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3605 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3606 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3609 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3612 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3613 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3616 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3617 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3618 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3619 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3623 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3624 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3625 and break the signature.
3627 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3629 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3633 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3634 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3635 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3636 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3637 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3640 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3641 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3643 *) ./config script fixes.
3644 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3646 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3649 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3650 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3651 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3652 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3653 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3655 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3656 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3659 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3660 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3663 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3664 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3665 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3666 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3668 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3669 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3671 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3672 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3673 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3674 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3675 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3677 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3680 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3683 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3686 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3689 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3690 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3693 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3694 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3695 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3696 result of the server certificate verification.)
3699 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3700 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3701 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3705 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3706 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3707 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3708 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3709 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3710 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3711 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3712 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3715 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3716 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3717 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3718 happening the other way round.
3721 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3722 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3725 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3726 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3727 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3728 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3731 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3732 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3734 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3736 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3737 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3738 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3741 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3743 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3745 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3749 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3751 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3752 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3753 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3754 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3755 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3757 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3758 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3762 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3765 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3767 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3768 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3769 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3770 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3771 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3772 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3773 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3774 by the Finished messages.
3777 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3778 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3780 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3781 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3782 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3783 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3784 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3788 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3789 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3790 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3791 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3792 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3793 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3794 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3795 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3796 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3800 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3801 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3802 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3803 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3805 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3806 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3807 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3808 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3809 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3812 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3813 been tested well enough.
3816 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3817 it can return incorrect results.
3818 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3819 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3822 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3823 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3824 include zero length content when signing messages.
3827 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3828 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3831 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3834 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3838 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3839 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3840 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3841 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3842 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3843 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3846 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3847 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3849 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3850 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3852 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3853 random number < q in the DSA library.
3856 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3857 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3858 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3859 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3860 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3861 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3862 just makes things more complicated.)
3865 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3869 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3870 work better on such systems.
3871 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3873 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3874 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3875 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3878 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3879 if there was more than one signature.
3880 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3882 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3883 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3884 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3885 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3888 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3889 rather than always using the current time.
3892 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3893 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3894 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3895 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3896 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3897 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3899 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3900 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3902 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3904 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3905 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3906 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3907 the same hash value.
3909 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3910 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3911 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3912 with X509_STORE internally.
3914 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3915 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3917 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3918 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3919 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3920 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3921 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3922 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3923 entirely (maybe later...).
3925 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3927 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3928 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3929 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3930 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3931 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3932 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3933 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3934 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3936 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3937 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3939 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3940 to customise the verify behaviour.
3943 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3944 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3947 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3948 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3949 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3950 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3951 request is improperly encoded.
3954 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3955 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3958 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3959 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3961 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3962 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3966 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3967 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3968 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3971 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3972 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3973 BIO/fp routines also added.
3976 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3977 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3979 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3980 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3981 demos/state_machine.
3984 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3985 generation and verification.
3988 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3989 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3990 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3991 encode and decode it manually.
3994 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3996 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3998 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3999 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4000 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4001 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4003 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4004 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4005 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4006 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4007 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4010 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4013 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4014 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4015 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4017 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4018 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4019 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4020 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4021 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4022 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4023 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4024 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4026 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4027 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4029 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4031 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4032 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4033 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4037 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4038 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4039 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4040 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4044 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4046 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4049 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4050 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4051 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4052 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4053 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4054 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4055 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4056 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4057 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4058 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4059 short or long names are found.
4062 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4063 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4065 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4066 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4067 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4068 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4070 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4071 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4072 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4073 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4076 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4077 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4078 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4081 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4082 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4083 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4084 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4085 to allow the various flags to be set.
4088 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4089 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4090 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4091 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4092 dates to be checked.
4095 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4096 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4097 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4100 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4101 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4102 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4105 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4106 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4109 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4110 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4111 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4112 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4113 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4114 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4117 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4118 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4122 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4126 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4127 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4128 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4129 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4130 form signing output easier to verify.
4133 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4136 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4137 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4138 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4139 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4140 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4141 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4142 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4143 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4144 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4145 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4148 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4150 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4151 the syntax given in objects.README.
4152 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4154 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4157 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4158 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4159 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4160 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4161 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4162 consistent name changes.
4165 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4168 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4169 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4170 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4171 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4174 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4175 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4176 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4180 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4181 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4182 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4183 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4186 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4187 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4188 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4189 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4190 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4191 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4192 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4193 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4194 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4195 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4196 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4199 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4200 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4201 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4202 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4203 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4204 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4205 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4206 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4207 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4208 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4211 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4212 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4213 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4214 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4216 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4217 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4218 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4219 omit any duplicate addresses.
4222 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4223 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4226 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4227 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4228 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4229 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4230 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4233 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4235 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4236 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4237 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4238 Free => OPENSSL_free
4241 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4242 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4245 *) CygWin32 support.
4246 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4248 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4249 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4250 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4251 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4252 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4256 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4257 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4258 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4259 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4260 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4261 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4262 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4265 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4266 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4267 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4268 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4269 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4270 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4271 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4272 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4273 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4274 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4275 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4278 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4279 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4280 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4281 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4282 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4284 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4285 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4286 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4287 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4288 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4290 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4293 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4294 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4295 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4296 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4298 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4300 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4303 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4304 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4305 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4308 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4309 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4310 any installed hardware versions can.
4313 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4314 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4315 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4319 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4320 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4321 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4322 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4323 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4325 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4326 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4329 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4330 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4333 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4334 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4335 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4339 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4342 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4343 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4344 but no ssl client purpose.
4345 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4347 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4348 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4349 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4350 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4351 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4352 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4353 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4354 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4355 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4356 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4357 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4360 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4361 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4362 be obtained from the error queue.
4365 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4366 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4367 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4368 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4371 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4374 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4375 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4376 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4377 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4378 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4381 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4382 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4383 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4384 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4385 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4388 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4389 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4390 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4392 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4394 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4395 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4396 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4397 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4398 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4399 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4400 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4401 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4402 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4403 or "the configuration storage API"...
4405 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4407 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4408 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4410 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4412 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4414 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4415 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4416 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4417 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4418 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4419 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4420 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4422 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4423 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4426 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4427 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4428 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4429 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4432 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4433 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4434 them in a portable way.
4435 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4437 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4439 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4441 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4442 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4444 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4445 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4446 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4449 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4450 was larger than the MD block size.
4451 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4453 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4454 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4455 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4456 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4460 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4461 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4462 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4464 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4466 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4468 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4469 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4470 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4471 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4472 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4473 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4475 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4476 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4478 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4479 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4482 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4485 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4486 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4488 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4489 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4490 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4491 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4494 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4495 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4496 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4497 does not suppress any output.
4500 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4501 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4502 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4503 with all the associated security issues.
4505 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4506 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4507 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4508 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4509 use the value in the default purpose.
4512 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4513 and fix a memory leak.
4516 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4517 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4518 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4519 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4522 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4523 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4524 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4525 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4528 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4529 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4530 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4533 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4534 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4537 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4538 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4542 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4543 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4546 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4547 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4548 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4551 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4552 number generation fails.
4555 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4558 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4559 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4561 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4564 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4565 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4567 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4568 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4570 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4572 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4573 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4576 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4577 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4579 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4580 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4583 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4584 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4585 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4586 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4587 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4588 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4590 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4591 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4592 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4596 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4597 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4598 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4599 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4600 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4601 counter, some don't.)
4602 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4603 counters or duplicate objects.
4606 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4607 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4610 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4611 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4612 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4614 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4615 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4616 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4620 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4621 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4624 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4625 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4626 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4630 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4631 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4632 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4635 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4636 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4637 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4638 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4639 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4640 should work without changes.
4643 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4644 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4645 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4646 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4647 must be defined. E.g.,
4648 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4649 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4650 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4651 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4653 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4657 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4658 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4659 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4662 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4663 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4664 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4665 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4668 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4669 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4670 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4671 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4672 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4673 is prompted for as usual.
4676 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4677 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4678 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4679 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4681 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4682 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4683 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4684 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4687 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4690 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4694 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4697 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4700 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4704 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4707 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4710 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4711 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4714 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4715 options to produce them.
4718 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4719 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4722 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4726 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4727 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4728 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4729 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4730 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4731 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4732 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4735 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4738 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4739 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4740 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4743 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4744 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4746 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4747 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4750 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4751 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4752 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4756 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4757 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4759 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4760 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4761 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4762 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4763 generation becomes much faster.
4765 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4766 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4767 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4768 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4769 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4770 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4771 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4772 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4773 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4774 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4777 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4778 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4779 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4780 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4781 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4782 trial division stage.
4785 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4789 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4792 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4795 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4796 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4797 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4801 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4802 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4803 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4806 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4807 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4808 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4809 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4811 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4812 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4815 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4818 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4819 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4820 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4821 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4824 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4825 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4826 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4829 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4830 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4831 (instead of parameters) in future.
4834 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4835 when a new cipher list is set.
4838 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4839 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4842 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4843 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4844 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4846 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4847 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4848 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4849 an error is flagged.
4851 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4852 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4853 the readability was also increased :-)
4854 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4856 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4857 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4858 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4859 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4863 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4864 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4867 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4868 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4869 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4870 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4873 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4874 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4875 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4876 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4877 because they handle more complex structures.)
4880 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4881 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4882 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4883 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4885 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4886 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4887 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4888 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4889 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4890 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4891 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4894 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4895 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4896 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4897 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4898 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4901 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4904 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4905 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4906 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4907 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4908 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4911 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4915 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4916 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4917 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4918 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4921 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4924 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4925 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4926 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4927 international characters are used.
4929 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4930 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4931 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4935 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4936 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4937 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4940 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4941 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4942 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4943 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4944 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4945 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4947 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4948 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4949 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4950 be handled by the string table functions.
4952 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4953 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4954 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4955 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4956 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4960 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4961 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4962 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4963 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4964 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4966 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4967 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4968 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4969 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4972 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4973 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4974 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4975 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4976 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4980 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4981 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4982 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4983 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4984 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4985 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4986 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4987 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4989 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4990 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4991 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4994 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4995 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4996 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4997 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4998 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4999 support to pkcs8 application.
5002 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5003 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5004 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5005 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5006 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5007 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5010 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5011 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5012 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5013 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5014 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5018 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5019 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5020 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5021 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5025 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5026 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5027 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5028 and any application specific purposes.
5030 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5031 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5032 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5033 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5034 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5035 if the certificate is self signed.
5038 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5039 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5042 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5043 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5044 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5045 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5048 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5049 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5050 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5051 Update documentation.
5054 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5055 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5056 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5057 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5058 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5061 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5063 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5065 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5066 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5067 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5068 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5069 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5070 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5071 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5072 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5073 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5074 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5076 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5078 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5079 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5080 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5081 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5082 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5084 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5085 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5086 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5087 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5088 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5089 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5090 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5091 request additional information:
5092 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5093 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5095 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5096 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5097 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5100 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5101 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5104 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5107 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5108 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5110 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5111 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5112 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5116 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5117 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5118 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5120 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5121 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5122 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5123 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5124 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5125 included in OpenSSL.
5128 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5129 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5130 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5131 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5132 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5133 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5136 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5140 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5141 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5142 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5143 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5144 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5148 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5152 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5153 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5154 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5155 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5156 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5157 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5158 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5159 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5160 be maintained manually.
5162 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5163 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5164 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5165 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5166 work because people forget to call this function]
5167 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5168 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5169 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5172 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5173 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5174 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5175 should be discouraged from doing it.
5178 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5179 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5180 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5181 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5182 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5183 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5186 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5187 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5188 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5190 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5191 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5192 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5194 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5195 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5196 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5197 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5198 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5199 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5201 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5202 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5203 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5205 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5206 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5209 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5210 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5211 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5212 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5215 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5218 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5219 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5220 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5221 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5222 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5223 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5224 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5225 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5226 keys so we should be OK.
5228 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5229 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5230 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5231 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5232 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5233 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5234 stay in the name of compatibility.
5236 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5237 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5238 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5240 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5241 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5242 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5243 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5244 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5245 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5249 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5250 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5251 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5252 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5253 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5254 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5255 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5256 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5257 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5258 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5259 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5260 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5261 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5264 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5267 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5268 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5269 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5270 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5271 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5272 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5273 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5274 openssl verify ss.pem
5275 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5276 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5280 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5281 (and add it to external session representation).
5282 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5283 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5284 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5285 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5286 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5287 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5289 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5291 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5292 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5293 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5294 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5296 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5297 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5298 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5301 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5302 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5303 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5307 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5308 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5309 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5311 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5312 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5313 certificate auxiliary information.
5316 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5320 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5321 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5322 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5323 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5324 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5325 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5326 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5329 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5330 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5333 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5334 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5335 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5336 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5339 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5342 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5343 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5346 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5347 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5348 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5349 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5350 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5351 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5352 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5353 using the new 'x509' options.
5355 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5356 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5357 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5358 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5362 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5363 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5364 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5365 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5366 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5369 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5370 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5371 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5372 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5373 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5374 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5375 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5376 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5377 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5378 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5381 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5382 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5383 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5384 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5385 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5386 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5387 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5390 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5391 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5392 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5393 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5394 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5395 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5396 openssl.cnf for more info.
5399 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5400 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5401 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5402 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5403 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5404 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5405 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5406 md should be large enough anyway.
5409 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5410 for handling the random seed file.
5412 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5414 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5417 x509 (when signing).
5418 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5419 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5420 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5422 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5423 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5424 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5425 that support '-rand'.
5428 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5429 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5432 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5433 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5436 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5437 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5438 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5439 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5443 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5444 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5445 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5446 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5449 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5450 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5451 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5452 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5453 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5454 print out all the purposes.
5457 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5461 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5462 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5463 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5464 single function call.
5467 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5468 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5471 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5472 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5473 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5476 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5477 when producing the local key id.
5478 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5480 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5481 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5482 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5486 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5487 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5488 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5489 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5492 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5493 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5494 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5495 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5497 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5498 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5499 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5500 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5502 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5503 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5504 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5505 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5506 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5507 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5508 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5509 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5510 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5511 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5512 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5513 trivial: move one line.
5514 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5516 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5517 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5518 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5519 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5520 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5521 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5522 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5523 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5524 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5525 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5526 with an event loop for example.
5529 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5530 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5531 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5532 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5533 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5534 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5535 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5536 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5537 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5540 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5541 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5542 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5543 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5544 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5545 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5548 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5549 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5550 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5551 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5553 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5554 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5555 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5556 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5560 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5561 (still largely untested)
5564 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5565 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5568 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5569 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5572 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5573 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5574 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5577 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5578 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5579 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5580 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5581 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5584 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5587 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5588 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5589 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5590 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5591 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5595 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5596 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5599 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5602 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5603 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5604 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5605 are otherwise ignored at present.
5608 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5609 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5610 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5611 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5612 copied until the next read.
5615 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5616 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5617 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5620 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5621 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5622 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5623 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5624 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5625 associated functions.
5628 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5629 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5630 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5631 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5632 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5633 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5634 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5635 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5636 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5640 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5641 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5642 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5643 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5646 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5647 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5648 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5649 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5650 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5654 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5655 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5659 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5660 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5661 extensions to be obtained and added.
5664 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5665 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5668 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5670 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5671 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5673 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5674 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5676 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5680 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5681 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5682 DH parameters contain its length).
5684 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5685 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5686 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5687 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5688 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5689 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5690 utter importance to use
5691 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5693 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5694 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5695 attacks may become possible!
5698 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5701 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5702 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5705 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5706 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5707 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5711 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5712 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5713 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5714 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5715 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5716 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5717 private key operations.
5720 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5723 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5724 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5726 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5727 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5728 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5729 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5730 the password callback is called.
5731 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5733 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5735 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5736 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5737 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5738 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5739 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5740 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5743 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5744 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5745 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5746 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5747 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5748 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5751 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5754 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5755 delete an unused file.
5758 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5759 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5760 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5761 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5764 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5765 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5766 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5770 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5771 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5772 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5774 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5775 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5776 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5777 comparison" warnings.
5778 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5781 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5782 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5783 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5786 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5787 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5789 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5790 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5792 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5793 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5794 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5796 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5797 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5798 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5799 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5800 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5802 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5804 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5805 The interface is as follows:
5806 Applications can use
5807 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5808 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5809 "off" is now the default.
5810 The library internally uses
5811 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5812 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5813 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5815 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5816 even the default) are now avoided.
5818 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5819 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5820 than just having a counter.
5822 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5824 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5828 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5829 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5830 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5831 Initial "mode" flags are:
5833 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5834 a single record has been written.
5835 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5836 retries use the same buffer location.
5837 (But all of the contents must be
5841 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5844 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5845 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5847 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5848 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5849 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5852 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5853 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5855 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5857 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5858 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5859 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5860 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5862 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5863 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5865 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5866 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5867 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5868 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5869 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5870 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5873 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5874 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5875 necessary function names.
5878 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5879 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5880 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5881 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5884 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5885 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5886 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5889 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5890 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5891 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5892 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5894 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5898 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5899 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5900 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5903 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5904 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5908 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5909 for the encoded length.
5910 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5912 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5915 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5916 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5917 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5918 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5921 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5922 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5923 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5925 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5926 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5927 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5931 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5932 to use the new extension code.
5935 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5936 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5937 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5941 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5942 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5943 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5947 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5950 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5951 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5952 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5955 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5956 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5957 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5958 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5961 *) DES library cleanups.
5964 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5965 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5966 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5967 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5968 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5972 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5973 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5976 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5977 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5978 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5979 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5980 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5981 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5982 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5983 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5984 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5987 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5988 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5989 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5990 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5991 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5992 value doesn't matter.
5995 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5999 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6000 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6001 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6002 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6004 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6007 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6008 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6009 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6011 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6012 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6014 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6017 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6020 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6023 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6027 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6029 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6031 *) Updated some demos.
6032 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6034 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6037 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6040 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6043 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6044 instead of using a fixed path.
6047 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6050 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6054 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6056 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6057 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6058 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6060 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6061 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6062 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6063 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6064 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6065 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6066 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6067 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6068 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6069 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6072 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6073 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6076 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6077 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6078 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6079 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6080 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6082 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6085 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6086 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6087 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6090 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6093 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6094 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6095 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6096 key elements as negative integers.
6099 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6100 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6103 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6105 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6106 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6107 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6110 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6111 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6112 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6113 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6114 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6117 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6120 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6121 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6122 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6123 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6125 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6126 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6127 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6129 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6130 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6131 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6132 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6133 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6134 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6135 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6136 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6137 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6139 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6140 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6141 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6142 does not influence s as it used to.
6144 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6145 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6146 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6147 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6148 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6149 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6152 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6153 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6154 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6158 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6159 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6160 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6164 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6165 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6166 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6170 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6171 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6174 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6175 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6180 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6181 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6183 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6184 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6186 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6189 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6192 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6193 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6195 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6196 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6197 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6201 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6202 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6203 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6204 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6205 now it really counts the depth.
6208 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6209 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6210 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6211 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6212 didn't match the private key).
6214 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6215 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6216 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6219 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6222 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6226 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6227 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6228 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6231 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6234 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6235 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6236 such as /usr/local/bin.
6239 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6240 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6242 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6245 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6246 extension adding in x509 utility.
6249 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6252 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6256 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6259 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6260 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6261 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6262 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6263 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6264 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6265 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6266 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6267 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6268 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6271 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6274 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6275 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6278 *) Fix some race conditions.
6281 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6282 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6285 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6288 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6289 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6290 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6291 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6293 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6294 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6296 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6297 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6298 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6300 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6301 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6303 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6306 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6307 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6309 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6312 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6313 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6315 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6316 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6319 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6320 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6323 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6324 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6327 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6328 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6331 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6332 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6335 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6336 support typesafe stack.
6339 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6340 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6342 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6343 old X509V3 handling code.
6346 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6349 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6352 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6355 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6356 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6358 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6359 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6360 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6361 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6362 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6365 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6366 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6367 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6368 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6369 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6371 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6372 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6373 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6374 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6376 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6377 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6378 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6379 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6381 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6382 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6383 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6384 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6385 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6386 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6389 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6390 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6393 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6394 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6397 *) Tweaks to Configure
6398 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6400 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6404 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6407 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6408 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6411 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6412 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6413 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6416 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6419 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6420 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6423 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6424 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6425 to library startup routines.
6428 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6429 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6430 codes along the way.
6433 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6434 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6435 objects to objects.h
6438 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6439 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6442 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6443 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6445 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6446 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6447 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6449 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6450 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6451 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6453 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6454 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6455 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6458 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6460 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6461 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6464 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6465 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6466 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6467 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6468 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6470 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6471 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6472 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6474 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6476 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6478 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6480 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6481 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6483 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6484 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6485 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6486 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6488 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6491 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6492 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6493 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6494 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6497 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6498 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6499 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6502 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6503 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6504 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6505 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6506 installed as `perl').
6507 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6509 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6510 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6512 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6513 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6514 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6515 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6516 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6519 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6522 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6523 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6524 is horrible: I feel ill....
6527 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6528 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6529 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6530 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6533 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6534 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6536 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6537 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6538 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6539 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6541 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6542 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6543 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6544 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6545 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6546 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6548 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6550 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6551 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6553 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6554 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6556 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6559 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6560 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6564 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6565 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6566 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6567 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6568 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6569 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6570 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6571 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6572 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6573 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6576 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6579 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6580 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6581 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6582 for linking it into DSOs.
6583 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6585 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6589 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6590 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6591 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6592 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6593 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6594 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6596 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6597 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6598 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6599 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6600 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6601 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6602 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6604 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6605 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6606 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6610 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6611 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6612 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6613 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6616 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6617 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6618 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6619 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6620 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6624 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6625 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6626 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6627 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6630 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6631 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6632 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6634 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6635 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6637 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6638 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6639 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6640 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6641 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6644 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6645 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6646 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6647 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6648 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6649 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6650 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6653 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6655 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6656 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6659 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6660 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6662 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6663 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6666 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6667 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6668 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6669 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6670 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6672 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6673 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6674 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6675 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6676 no way to reconfigure them.
6677 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6678 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6679 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6680 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6681 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6682 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6684 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6685 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6686 recognized by the users.
6687 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6689 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6690 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6691 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6692 already masked variable.
6693 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6695 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6696 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6698 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6699 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6700 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6701 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6703 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6704 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6707 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6708 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6709 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6710 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6711 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6712 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6713 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6714 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6716 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6718 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6719 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6720 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6722 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6723 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6727 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6728 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6730 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6731 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6732 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6733 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6736 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6739 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6740 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6742 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6745 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6746 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6749 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6750 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6753 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6754 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6755 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6756 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6757 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6758 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6759 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6762 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6763 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6765 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6766 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6767 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6768 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6769 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6771 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6772 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6773 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6776 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6777 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6781 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6782 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6783 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6785 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6786 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6787 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6791 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6792 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6793 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6794 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6797 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6798 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6799 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6800 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6803 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6804 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6805 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6806 so it wasn't spotted.
6807 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6809 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6810 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6811 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6812 vectors if you have them.
6815 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6816 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6819 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6820 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6821 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6822 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6824 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6825 it will update them.
6828 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6829 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6830 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6831 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6832 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6833 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6834 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6837 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6838 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6839 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6840 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6841 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6842 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6843 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6844 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6845 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6846 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6848 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6849 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6850 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6851 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6852 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6855 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6859 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6860 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6862 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6863 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6865 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6866 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6869 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6870 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6872 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6873 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6875 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6878 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6882 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6883 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6884 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6885 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6887 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6890 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6893 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6896 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6897 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6900 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6901 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6905 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6906 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6909 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6910 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6911 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6914 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6915 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6916 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6917 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6918 properly to be processed.
6921 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6922 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6923 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6926 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6927 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6929 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6930 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6931 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6932 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6933 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6934 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6935 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6936 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6937 or delete all the .err files.
6940 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6941 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6942 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6943 to regenerate it if needed.
6944 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6945 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6947 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6948 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6950 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6951 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6952 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6953 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6954 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6957 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6958 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6960 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6961 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6963 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6964 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6965 error, but didn't set one).
6966 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6968 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6971 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6972 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6975 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6976 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6978 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6979 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6980 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6981 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6982 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6983 OID is not part of the table.
6986 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6987 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6990 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6993 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6994 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6998 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6999 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7001 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7003 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7005 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7006 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7008 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7009 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7011 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7012 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7014 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7015 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7018 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7019 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7022 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7023 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7025 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7026 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7028 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7029 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7031 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7032 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7034 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7035 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7036 unused in the certificate verification process.
7037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7039 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7040 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7043 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7044 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7045 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7047 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7048 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7049 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7050 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7051 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7053 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7054 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7057 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7060 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7063 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7064 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7066 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7069 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7072 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7075 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7076 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7077 other error libraries.
7080 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7083 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7084 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7088 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7089 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7090 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7091 the new set of documenation files.
7092 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7094 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7095 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7096 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7097 number of arguments.
7098 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7100 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7103 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7104 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7105 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7107 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7110 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7114 unixware-2.0-pentium
7118 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7119 before they are needed.
7122 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7126 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7128 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7129 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7130 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7132 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7135 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7136 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7137 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7139 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7140 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7141 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7143 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7144 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7145 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7147 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7148 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7150 *) Updated the README file.
7151 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7153 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7154 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7157 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7158 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7159 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7161 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7162 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7163 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7164 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7165 o removed obsolete TODO file
7166 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7167 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7169 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7170 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7171 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

7174 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7175 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7177 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7180 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7181 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7182 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7184 [The OpenSSL Project]
7187 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7189 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7192 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7195 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7196 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7199 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7200 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7204 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7206 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7208 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7211 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7214 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7217 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7220 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7223 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7226 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7229 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7232 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7235 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7238 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7241 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7244 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7247 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7250 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7253 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7256 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7259 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7260 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7261 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7264 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7265 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7268 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7271 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7274 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7275 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7278 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7281 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7284 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7285 bytes sent in the client random.
