5 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
8 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
9 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
10 files from the associated perl scripts.
13 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
14 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
15 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
17 *) s390x assembler pack.
20 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
24 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
25 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
26 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
27 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
28 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
29 to use. For example, specify an option
31 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
33 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
34 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
35 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
36 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
37 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
38 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
40 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
41 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
42 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
43 return non-zero for success.
45 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
48 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
49 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
53 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
56 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
57 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
58 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
59 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
60 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
61 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
62 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
63 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
64 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
66 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
67 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
68 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
69 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
70 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
71 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
73 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
74 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
75 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
76 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
77 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
78 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
82 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
85 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
87 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
88 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
89 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
92 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
93 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
96 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
97 protection in servers so again support should be possible
98 with no application modification.
100 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
101 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
103 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
104 or server extensions to be examined.
106 This work was sponsored by Google.
109 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
110 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
111 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
113 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
114 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
116 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
118 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
119 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
120 to output in BER and PEM format.
123 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
124 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
125 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
126 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
127 -macopt options to dgst utility.
130 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
131 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
132 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
136 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
137 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
138 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
139 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
140 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
141 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
142 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
143 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
146 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
147 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
148 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
149 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
151 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
152 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
153 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
157 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
158 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
159 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
160 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
161 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
162 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
163 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
164 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
165 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
167 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
168 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
169 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
170 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
171 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
172 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
173 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
174 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
175 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
176 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
177 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
180 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
181 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
182 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
184 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
185 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
189 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
190 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
191 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
194 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
195 it yet and it is largely untested.
198 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
201 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
202 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
203 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
206 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
209 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
210 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
211 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
212 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
215 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
216 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
217 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
218 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
219 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
222 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
223 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
226 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
227 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
228 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
229 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
232 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
233 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
234 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
235 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
238 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
239 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
242 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
243 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
244 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
245 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
248 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
249 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
250 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
253 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
257 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
258 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
261 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
262 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
263 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
267 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
268 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
269 to free up any added signature OIDs.
272 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
273 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
274 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
275 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
278 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
279 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
280 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
281 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
282 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
283 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
284 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
285 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
287 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
288 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
289 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
291 we now have additional functions
293 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
294 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
295 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
297 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
298 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
302 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
303 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
304 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
305 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
306 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
307 the array representation useful in a more general context.
310 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
311 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
312 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
313 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
314 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
316 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
317 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
318 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
319 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
320 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
323 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
324 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
325 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
326 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
328 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
329 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
330 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
331 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
332 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
338 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
339 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
343 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
344 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
347 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
348 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
351 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
352 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
353 functional reference processing.
356 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
357 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
361 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
362 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
363 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
366 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
367 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
368 application to support multiple signers.
371 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
375 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
376 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
377 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
378 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
379 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
382 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
386 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
387 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
388 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
389 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
393 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
394 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
395 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
396 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
397 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
398 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
399 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
400 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
403 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
404 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
405 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
406 between digests and public key types.
409 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
410 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
411 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
412 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
415 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
416 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
420 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
423 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
427 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
428 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
429 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
430 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
435 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
437 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
439 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
441 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
442 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
443 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
444 functionality for RSA.
447 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
448 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
449 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
452 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
453 key API, doesn't do much yet.
456 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
457 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
458 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
461 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
462 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
465 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
466 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
469 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
470 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
474 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
475 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
476 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
480 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
481 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
482 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
483 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
484 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
485 of public and private key structures.
488 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
489 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
492 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
493 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
494 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
497 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
501 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
502 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
504 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
506 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
508 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
509 and response verification functionality.
510 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
512 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
513 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
514 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
515 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
516 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
517 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
518 server_name extension.
520 New functions (subject to change):
523 SSL_get_servername_type()
526 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
528 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
529 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
530 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
531 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
532 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
534 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
536 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
537 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
538 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
539 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
540 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
541 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
544 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
546 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
549 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
550 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
551 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
552 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
553 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
556 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
557 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
561 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
562 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
563 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
564 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
567 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
568 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
569 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
570 using the maximum available value.
573 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
574 in addition to the text details.
577 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
578 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
579 handle several customised structures at all.
582 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
583 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
584 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
587 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
590 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
591 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
592 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
595 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
596 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
597 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
600 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
601 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
605 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
608 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.

629 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
630 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
632 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
633 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
634 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
635 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
636 to s_client and s_server.
639 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
642 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
643 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
644 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
645 + Fix ia64 assembler code
646 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
648 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
650 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
651 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
652 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
653 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
654 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
655 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
656 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
657 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
660 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
661 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
662 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
665 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
666 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
667 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
670 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
671 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
674 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
675 protection in servers so again support should be possible
676 with no application modification.
678 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
679 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
681 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
682 or server extensions to be examined.
684 This work was sponsored by Google.
687 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
688 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
689 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
690 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
691 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
692 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
693 server_name extension.
695 New functions (subject to change):
698 SSL_get_servername_type()
701 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
703 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
704 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
705 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
706 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
707 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
709 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
711 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
712 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
713 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
714 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
715 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
716 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
719 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
721 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
724 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
727 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
728 (which previously caused an internal error).
731 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
734 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
735 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
737 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
738 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
739 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
741 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
742 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
743 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
744 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
746 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
747 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
748 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
751 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
752 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
753 information. For detailed background information, see
754 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
755 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
756 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
757 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
758 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
759 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
760 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
761 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
762 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
763 remove a conditional branch.
765 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
766 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
767 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
768 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
769 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
770 remains as a deprecated alias.
772 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
773 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
774 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
775 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
777 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
778 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
779 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
780 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
781 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
782 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
783 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
784 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
786 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
788 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
789 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
790 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
791 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
792 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
793 with applications using a single external cache for quite
794 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
795 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
796 in a different context.
799 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
800 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
801 authentication-only ciphersuites.
804 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
806 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
807 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
808 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
809 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
810 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
813 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
814 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
815 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
816 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
817 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
818 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
821 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
822 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
823 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
824 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
825 message has informed the client about his choice.)
828 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
829 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
831 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
832 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
833 Improve header file function name parsing.
836 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
837 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
840 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
842 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
843 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
844 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
846 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
847 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
849 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
850 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
852 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
853 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
854 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
856 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
857 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
858 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
859 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
860 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
861 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
862 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
863 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
864 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
866 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
867 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
868 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
869 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
870 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
872 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
873 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
874 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
875 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
876 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
877 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
878 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
879 multiple values to extend the available space.
883 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
885 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
886 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
888 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
891 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
892 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
893 undesirable limitations.
894 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
896 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
897 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
898 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
899 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
900 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
901 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
902 to avoid potential handshake problems.
905 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
907 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
908 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
909 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
911 The latter two were purportedly from
912 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
915 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
916 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
917 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
920 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
921 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
924 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
925 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
926 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
927 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
929 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
930 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
931 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
934 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
935 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
936 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
937 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
938 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
939 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
942 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
944 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
945 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
948 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
949 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
951 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
952 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
953 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
954 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
957 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
958 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
961 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
962 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
963 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
964 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
965 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
966 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
967 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
971 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
972 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
973 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
974 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
977 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
978 under VC++ build system.
981 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
982 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
985 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
987 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
988 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
989 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
990 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
991 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
993 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
994 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
995 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
997 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1000 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1001 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1004 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1005 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1007 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1010 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1011 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1013 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1014 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1017 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1018 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1022 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1024 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1027 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1030 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1031 key into the same file any more.
1034 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1037 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1038 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1040 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1041 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1044 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1045 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1046 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1047 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1048 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1049 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1051 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1052 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1053 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1056 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1057 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1058 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1059 - add new function for parameter creation
1060 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1061 BN_BLINDING parameters
1062 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1063 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1064 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1068 *) Add support for DTLS.
1069 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1071 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1072 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1075 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1076 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1079 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1080 the apps/openssl applications.
1083 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1084 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1085 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1088 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1089 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1091 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1092 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1094 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1095 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1096 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1097 avoid this algorithm.)
1101 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1102 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1103 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1106 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1107 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1110 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1111 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1112 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1115 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1117 The blank line is mandatory.
1121 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1122 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1126 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1127 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1129 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1130 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1131 to support policy checking and print out.
1134 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1135 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1136 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1137 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1139 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1142 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1143 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1145 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1146 implementation contributed by IBM.
1147 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1149 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1150 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1151 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1152 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1154 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1155 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1157 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1158 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1159 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1160 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1161 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1162 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1165 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1166 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1167 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1168 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1169 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1170 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1171 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1174 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1177 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1178 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1179 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1180 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1181 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1182 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1183 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1184 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1187 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1188 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1189 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1190 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1193 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1196 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1199 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1200 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1201 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1202 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1203 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1204 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1205 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1208 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1209 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1212 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1213 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1214 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1217 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1218 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1219 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1223 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1224 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1227 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1228 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1229 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1230 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1233 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1234 initialised value as BN_new().
1235 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1237 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1240 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1241 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1242 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1243 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1244 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1245 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1246 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1247 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1248 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1249 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1250 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1251 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1252 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1253 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1254 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1256 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1257 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1258 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1259 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1262 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1263 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1264 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1265 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1266 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1267 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1268 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1269 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1270 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1273 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1274 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1275 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1276 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1277 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1278 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1279 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1282 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1283 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1284 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1285 these have been updated also.
1288 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1289 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1290 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1291 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1292 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1296 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1297 structure of type "other".
1300 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1301 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1302 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1303 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1304 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1305 situation in the script.
1306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1308 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1309 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1310 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1311 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1312 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1313 used as premaster secret.
1314 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1316 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1317 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1318 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1320 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1321 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1323 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1324 control of the error stack.
1327 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1330 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1331 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1332 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1333 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1336 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1337 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1338 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1341 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1342 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1343 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1347 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1348 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1349 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1350 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1353 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1354 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1355 the following flags are defined:
1357 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1358 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1359 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1362 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1363 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1364 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1365 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1369 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1370 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1371 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1372 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1373 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1376 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1377 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1378 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1381 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1382 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1383 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1384 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1385 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1386 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1389 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1393 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1396 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1399 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1402 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1403 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1404 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1405 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1406 default implementation more easily.
1409 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1413 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1414 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1417 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1418 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1419 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1420 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1422 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1423 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1424 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1425 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1428 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1429 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1433 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1434 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1435 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1436 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1437 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1438 scalar * generator).
1439 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1441 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1442 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1443 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1447 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1448 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1449 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1450 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1451 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1452 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1453 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1454 linker additions, eg;
1455 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1458 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1459 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1460 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1463 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1464 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1465 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1469 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1470 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1471 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1472 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1475 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1476 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1477 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1478 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1479 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1480 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1481 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1482 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1483 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1484 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1486 Example for using the new callback interface:
1488 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1492 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1494 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1495 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1496 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1497 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1498 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1499 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1504 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1505 available to TLS with the number defined in
1506 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1509 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1510 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1512 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1513 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1514 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1515 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1517 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1518 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1520 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1521 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1525 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1526 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1529 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1530 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1531 and a macro that behave like
1532 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1534 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1537 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1538 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1539 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1541 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1543 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1546 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1547 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1548 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1549 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1551 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1552 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1553 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1554 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1555 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1556 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1557 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1558 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1560 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1561 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1564 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1565 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1567 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1568 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1569 files while avoiding the low level API.
1571 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1572 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1573 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1574 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1576 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1577 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1578 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1579 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1580 instead of the low level API.
1583 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1584 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1585 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1586 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1587 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1590 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1591 down to the template encoder.
1594 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1595 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1598 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1599 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1600 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1601 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1603 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1604 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1606 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1607 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1609 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1610 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1613 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1614 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1615 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1618 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1619 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1621 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1622 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1624 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1625 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1628 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1632 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1633 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1634 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1635 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1636 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1637 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1639 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1640 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1643 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1644 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1645 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1646 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1647 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1648 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1649 various internal method names.)
1651 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1652 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1654 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1655 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1657 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1658 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1660 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1661 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1662 methods are undefined.
1664 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1665 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1667 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1668 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1669 length of the modulus.
1671 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1672 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1674 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1675 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1677 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1678 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1680 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1681 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1682 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1685 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1686 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1687 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1688 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1690 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1691 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1692 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1693 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1695 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1696 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1698 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1699 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1700 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1701 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1702 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1704 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1705 This applies to the following functions:
1710 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1711 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1713 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1714 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1718 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1723 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1725 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1726 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1727 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1728 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1729 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1731 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1732 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1734 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1735 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1736 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1738 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1739 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1741 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1742 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1743 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1744 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1745 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1747 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1749 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1750 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1751 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1752 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1753 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1754 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1755 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1756 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1757 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1758 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1759 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1760 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1762 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1765 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1766 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1767 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1768 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1770 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1771 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1772 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1773 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1778 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1779 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1780 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1781 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1782 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1784 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1785 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1786 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1787 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1788 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1789 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1790 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1791 adding different types of curves.
1792 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1794 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1795 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1796 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1799 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1800 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1802 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1803 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1804 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1805 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1807 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1809 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1810 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1812 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1813 library. Most notably,
1814 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1815 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1816 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1817 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1818 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1819 extracted before the specific public key;
1820 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1821 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1823 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1824 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1826 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1827 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1828 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1829 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1831 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1832 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1833 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1835 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1836 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1837 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1838 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1839 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1840 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1844 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1846 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1847 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1848 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1849 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1850 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1851 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1852 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1853 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1854 in a different context.
1857 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1859 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1861 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1863 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1864 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1865 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1868 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1869 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1870 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1873 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1876 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1877 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1880 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1881 run algorithm test programs.
1884 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1887 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1888 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1889 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1890 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1891 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1894 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1895 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1898 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1900 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1901 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1902 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1904 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1905 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1907 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1908 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1910 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1911 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1912 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1914 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1915 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1916 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1917 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1918 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1919 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1920 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1923 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1925 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1926 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1928 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1929 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1930 undesirable limitations.
1931 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1933 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1935 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1936 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1937 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1939 The latter two were purportedly from
1940 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1943 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1944 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1945 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1948 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1949 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1952 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1954 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1955 module in FIPS mode.
1958 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1961 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1962 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1963 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1964 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1967 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1969 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1970 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1971 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1972 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1973 the difference induced by this change.
1976 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1978 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1979 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1980 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1981 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1982 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1984 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1985 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1986 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1988 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1989 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1992 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1993 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1994 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1995 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1999 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2000 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2001 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2002 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2003 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2005 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2006 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2007 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2008 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2009 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2010 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2012 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2014 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2015 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2016 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2017 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2018 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2021 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2025 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2026 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2027 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2030 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2031 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2032 structures constant.
2035 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2037 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2040 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2041 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2042 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2043 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2044 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2045 some needed definitions.
2048 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2051 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2052 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2053 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2054 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2057 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2059 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2060 server and client random values. Previously
2061 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2062 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2064 This change has negligible security impact because:
2066 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2069 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2072 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2073 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2076 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2079 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2081 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2084 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2085 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2086 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2088 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2091 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2092 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2095 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2096 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2097 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2099 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2102 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2103 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2104 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2108 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2109 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2110 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2111 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2113 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2114 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2115 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2116 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2120 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2122 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2123 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2124 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2125 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2126 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2129 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2132 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2133 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2135 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2136 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2137 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2138 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2139 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2140 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2141 rather than being initialized to 1.
2144 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2146 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2147 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2148 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2150 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2152 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2154 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2155 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2156 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2157 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2158 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2159 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2162 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2163 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2164 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2165 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2166 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2170 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2171 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2172 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2173 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2174 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2177 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2178 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2179 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2183 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2184 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2186 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2189 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2191 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2193 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2194 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2196 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2198 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2199 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2203 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2204 exiting on the first error in a request.
2207 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2208 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2212 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2213 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2214 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2215 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2217 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2218 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2221 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2222 blocks during encryption.
2225 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2226 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2227 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2228 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2232 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2233 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2234 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2235 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2236 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2240 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2242 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2243 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2244 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2245 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2248 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2249 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2250 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2251 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2252 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2254 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2255 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2256 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2257 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2258 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2259 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2260 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2261 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2262 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2265 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2266 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2267 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2268 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2271 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2272 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2275 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2277 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2278 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2279 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2280 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2281 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2283 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2284 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2285 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2287 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2288 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2289 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2290 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2291 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2293 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2294 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2295 used by default when no-err is given.
2298 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2299 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2301 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2302 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2303 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2304 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2305 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2307 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2308 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2309 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2310 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2312 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2314 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2316 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2318 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2319 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2320 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2321 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2325 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2326 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2328 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2329 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2332 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2333 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2334 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2335 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2338 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2339 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2340 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2341 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2342 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2343 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2344 followup to PR #377.
2347 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2348 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2351 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2352 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2353 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2371 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2375 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2376 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2377 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2378 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2379 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2380 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2382 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2383 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2384 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2385 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2386 have to be made anyway).
2389 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2390 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2391 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2394 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2395 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2396 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

2400 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

2404 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2405 edit numbers of the version.
2406 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2408 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2409 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2410 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2412 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2413 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2415 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2416 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2417 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2419 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2420 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2422 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2423 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2425 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2426 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2428 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2429 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2431 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2433 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2435 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2436 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2437 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2439 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2440 representations in a platform independent manner.
2441 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2443 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2444 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2445 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2447 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2449 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2451 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2452 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2454 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2456 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2458 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2459 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2462 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2464 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2466 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2469 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2470 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2472 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2473 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2475 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2476 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2478 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2480 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2482 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2483 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2485 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2486 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2488 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2489 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2491 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2493 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2494 the 0.9.6 release series:
2496 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2497 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2499 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2501 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2504 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2505 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2507 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2508 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2510 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2511 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2512 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2513 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2515 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2516 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2517 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2519 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2520 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2521 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2522 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2524 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2525 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2526 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2529 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2530 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2531 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2532 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2533 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2534 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2535 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2536 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2539 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2540 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2541 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2544 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2545 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2546 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2547 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2548 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2550 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2551 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2553 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2554 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2557 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2558 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2559 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2560 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2561 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2562 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2565 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2566 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2567 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2570 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2571 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2574 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2575 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2576 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2577 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2578 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2579 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2580 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2583 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2584 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2585 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2586 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2587 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2588 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2591 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2592 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2593 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2594 declaration has been changed from
2597 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2598 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2599 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2600 has been changed into
2601 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2603 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2604 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2605 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2607 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2608 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2610 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2611 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2612 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2613 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2614 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2615 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2616 always load it have also been added.
2619 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2620 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2621 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2623 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2625 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2626 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2627 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2629 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2630 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2631 command line option can be used to specify an
2635 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2636 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2639 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2640 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2641 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2644 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2645 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2646 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2647 to work with the new engine framework.
2648 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2650 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2651 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2652 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2653 to work with the new engine framework.
2656 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2657 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2658 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2660 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2661 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2663 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2664 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2665 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2666 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2668 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2670 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2671 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2673 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2674 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2676 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2677 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2678 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2681 *) Add new functions
2683 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2684 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2685 These are similar to
2688 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2689 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2690 still in the error queue.
2691 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2693 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2695 default_algorithms = ALL
2696 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2699 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2702 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2705 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2706 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2707 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2708 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2710 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2711 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2713 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2714 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2716 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2717 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2720 *) New functions/macros
2722 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2723 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2724 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2725 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2727 to request calling a callback function
2729 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2730 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2732 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2733 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2734 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2735 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2736 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2737 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2738 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2739 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2740 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2741 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2743 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2744 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2747 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2748 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2749 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2750 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2751 the configuration scripts.
2753 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2754 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2755 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2757 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2758 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2760 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2761 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2762 when reusing an existing buffer.
2765 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2766 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2769 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2770 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2773 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2774 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2775 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2776 has the same effect.
2777 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2779 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2780 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2781 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2782 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2783 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2784 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2787 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2788 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2789 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2790 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2792 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2793 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2794 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2795 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2797 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2798 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2801 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2802 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2803 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2804 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2805 default), and then completely removed.
2808 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2809 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2810 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2811 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2812 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2813 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2814 particular extension is supported.
2817 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2818 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2821 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2822 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2823 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2824 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2825 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2826 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2827 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2828 requires the destination to be valid.
2830 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2831 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2834 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2835 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2836 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2839 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2840 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2842 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2843 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2844 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2845 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2846 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2847 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2848 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2849 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2850 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2851 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2852 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2853 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2854 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2855 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2856 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2857 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2858 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2859 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2860 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2864 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2867 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2868 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2869 become part of libeay.num as well.
2872 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2873 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2874 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2875 false once a handshake has been completed.
2876 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2877 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2878 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2879 client has followed the request.)
2882 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2883 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2884 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2885 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2887 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2888 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2889 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2892 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2895 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2896 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2897 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2900 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2901 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2904 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2905 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2906 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2907 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2910 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2911 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2912 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2913 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2914 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2915 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2918 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2919 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2920 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2921 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2922 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2923 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2924 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2925 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2928 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2929 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2932 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2935 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2936 md_data void pointer.
2939 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2940 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2941 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2942 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2943 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2944 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2947 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2948 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2949 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2950 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2951 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2952 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2953 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2954 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2955 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2956 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2957 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2958 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2959 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2960 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2961 rather than letting it slide.
2963 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2964 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2965 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2968 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2969 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2970 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2971 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2972 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2973 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2974 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2975 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2976 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2979 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2980 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2981 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2982 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2983 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2985 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2988 *) Add EVP test program.
2991 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2994 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2995 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2996 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2997 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2998 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3001 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3002 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3003 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3004 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3005 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3006 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3007 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3009 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3010 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3011 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3016 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3017 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3018 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3019 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3020 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3024 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3025 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3026 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3027 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3030 des_key_schedule ks;
3032 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3033 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3035 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3038 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3039 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3040 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3041 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3042 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3043 functions prevents this.
3046 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3049 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3050 correct _ecb suffix.
3053 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3054 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3055 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3056 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3057 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3060 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3063 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3064 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3065 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3066 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3068 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3069 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3071 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3072 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3073 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3074 via Richard Levitte]
3076 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3077 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3078 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3079 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3082 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3085 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3086 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3100 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3101 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3103 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3104 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3105 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3106 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3107 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3108 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3111 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3112 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3115 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3116 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3117 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3118 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3120 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3121 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3122 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3123 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3124 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3125 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3129 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3130 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3131 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3132 and interrupts/cancellations.
3135 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3136 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3139 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3140 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3141 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3143 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3144 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3148 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3149 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3150 than this minimum value is recommended.
3153 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3154 that are easily reachable.
3157 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3158 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3160 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3162 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3163 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3164 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3165 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3168 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3169 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3170 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3173 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3174 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3175 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3176 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3177 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3178 internally such as S/MIME.
3180 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3181 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3182 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3184 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3188 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3189 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3190 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3191 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3193 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3195 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3197 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3198 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3199 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3203 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3204 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3205 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3206 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3207 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3208 a window system and the like.
3211 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3212 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3215 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3216 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3217 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3218 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3219 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3220 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3221 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3222 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3223 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3227 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3228 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3232 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3233 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3234 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3235 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3236 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3237 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3238 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3239 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3242 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3243 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3244 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3245 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3246 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3247 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3248 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3249 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3250 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3251 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3252 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3253 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3254 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3255 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3256 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3257 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3258 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3261 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3262 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3263 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3264 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3265 internal engine_int.h header.
3268 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3269 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3270 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3271 modify their own ones).
3274 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3275 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3276 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3277 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3278 later on via ctrl() commands.
3279 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3280 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3281 structural references.
3282 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3283 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3284 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3285 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3286 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3287 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3288 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3289 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3290 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3291 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3292 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3293 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3296 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3297 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3298 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3299 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3300 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3301 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3302 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3303 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3306 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3307 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3310 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3311 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3314 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3315 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3316 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3317 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3318 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3319 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3320 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3323 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3324 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3325 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3326 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3327 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3329 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3330 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3334 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3336 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3337 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3338 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3340 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3341 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3343 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3344 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3345 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3347 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3348 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3350 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3351 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3353 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3355 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3356 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3357 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3360 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3361 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3364 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3365 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3366 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3367 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3368 is 40 of more characters long.
3371 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3372 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3376 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3377 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3380 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3381 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3385 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3387 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3388 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3391 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3393 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3394 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3395 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3397 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3398 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3400 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3403 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3407 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3408 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3409 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3410 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3412 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3414 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3415 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3417 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3418 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3419 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3420 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3421 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3422 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3424 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3425 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3427 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3428 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3430 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3431 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3433 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3434 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3435 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3436 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3438 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3439 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3441 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3442 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3444 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3445 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3446 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3447 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3448 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3451 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3452 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3453 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3454 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3457 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3458 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3459 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3463 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3464 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3465 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3466 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3467 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3468 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3469 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3470 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3474 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3475 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3478 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3479 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3480 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3481 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3484 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3485 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3486 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3487 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3488 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3489 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3490 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3491 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3492 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3493 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3496 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3497 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3498 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3499 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3500 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3501 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3502 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3503 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3505 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3506 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3507 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3508 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3511 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3512 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3513 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3514 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3516 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3517 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3518 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3519 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3520 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3524 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3525 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3526 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3527 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3531 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3532 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3533 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3536 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3537 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3538 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3539 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3540 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3543 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3546 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3547 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3548 option to ocsp utility.
3551 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3552 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3553 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3554 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3555 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3556 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3557 the request is nonce-less.
3560 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3561 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3562 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3565 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3566 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3567 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3570 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3571 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3572 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3573 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3574 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3577 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3578 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3582 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3583 additional certificates supplied.
3586 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3587 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3591 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3592 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3595 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3596 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3597 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3598 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3599 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3600 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3601 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3602 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3603 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3605 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3606 request to response.
3609 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3610 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3611 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3612 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3613 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3614 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3615 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3616 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3617 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3618 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3619 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3622 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3623 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3624 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3625 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3628 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3629 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3631 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3632 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3633 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3636 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3637 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3638 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3639 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3640 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3642 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3643 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3644 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3647 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3648 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3649 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3650 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3651 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3652 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3653 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3654 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3656 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3657 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3658 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3659 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3660 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3661 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3664 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3665 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3666 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3667 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3668 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3669 printout format cleaned up.
3672 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3673 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3674 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3675 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3676 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3677 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3678 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3679 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3682 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3683 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3684 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3685 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3686 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3687 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3688 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3689 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3692 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3693 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3694 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3695 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3697 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3699 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3700 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3701 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3702 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3705 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3706 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3707 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3708 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3710 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3712 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3713 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3714 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3715 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3717 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3718 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3720 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3721 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3722 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3725 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3726 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3727 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3730 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3731 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3732 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3733 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3734 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3735 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3736 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3737 functions are provided:
3739 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3740 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3741 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3742 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3744 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3745 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3746 extended allocation function is enabled.
3747 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3748 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3749 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3751 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3752 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3753 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3754 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3755 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3758 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3759 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3760 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3762 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3763 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3764 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3767 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3768 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3769 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3770 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3771 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3772 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3773 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3774 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3775 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3778 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3779 provide utility functions which an application needing
3780 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3781 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3782 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3784 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3785 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3786 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3787 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3788 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3789 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3790 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3791 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3792 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3794 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3795 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3796 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3797 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3800 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3801 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3802 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3803 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3804 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3805 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3806 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3807 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3808 will be added elsewhere.
3811 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3812 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3813 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3814 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3817 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3818 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3819 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3820 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3821 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3822 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3823 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3824 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3825 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3826 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3827 to produce the required SET OF.
3830 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3831 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3832 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3835 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3836 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3837 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3838 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3839 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3840 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3843 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3844 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3845 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3848 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3849 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3850 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3853 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3854 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3855 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3856 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3857 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3860 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3861 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3864 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3865 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3866 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3867 certifcates and CRLs.
3870 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3871 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3872 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3875 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3876 entries for variables.
3879 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3880 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3881 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3882 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3885 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3886 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3887 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3888 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3889 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3890 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3893 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3894 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3896 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3897 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3898 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3901 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3905 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3906 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3907 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3908 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3909 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3910 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3913 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3916 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3917 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3918 for now but they will eventually go away.
3921 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3922 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3923 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3924 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3925 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3926 has also been converted to the new form.
3929 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3930 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3931 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3932 for negative moduli.
3935 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3936 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3939 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3943 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3944 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3945 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3946 type-specific callbacks.
3949 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3951 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3952 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3954 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3955 in sections depending on the subject.
3958 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3962 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3963 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3964 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3965 be handled deterministically).
3966 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3968 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3969 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3970 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3973 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3976 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3977 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3978 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3979 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3980 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3983 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3984 sign of the number in question.
3986 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3988 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3989 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3990 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3991 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3992 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3995 *) New function BN_swap.
3998 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3999 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4000 results on negative inputs.
4003 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4004 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4005 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4008 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4009 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4010 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4011 and add new functions:
4020 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4024 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4026 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4027 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4029 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4030 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4031 be reduced modulo m.
4032 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4035 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4036 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4037 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4039 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4040 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4041 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4042 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4043 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4044 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4049 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4050 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4051 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4052 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4053 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4055 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4056 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4057 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4061 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4064 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4065 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4068 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4069 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4070 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4071 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4075 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4078 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4081 *) Add the following functions:
4083 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4085 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4087 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4089 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4090 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4091 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4092 libraries unless it's really needed.
4094 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4095 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4096 declarations (they differed!).
4099 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4102 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4105 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4108 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4109 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4112 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4113 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.

4116 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4117 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4120 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4123 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4126 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4129 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4130 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4131 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4133 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4134 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4135 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4136 different shared library filenames on each system.
4139 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4142 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4143 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4144 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4146 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4149 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4150 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4151 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4152 binary backward compatibility.
4153 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4154 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4155 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4159 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4160 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4161 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4162 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4166 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4169 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4170 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4171 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4172 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4176 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4179 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4181 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4182 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4183 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4185 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4187 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4189 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4190 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4193 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4195 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4197 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4198 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4200 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4201 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4205 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4206 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4210 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4211 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4212 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4213 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4215 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4216 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4219 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4221 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4222 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4223 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4224 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4227 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4228 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4229 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4230 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4231 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4233 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4234 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4235 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4236 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4237 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4238 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4239 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4240 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4241 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4244 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4246 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4247 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4248 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4249 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4250 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4252 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4253 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4254 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4256 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4258 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4259 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4260 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4261 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4262 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4263 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4266 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4267 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4268 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4269 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4270 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4273 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4274 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4275 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4277 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4278 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4279 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4283 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4284 being properly terminated.
4287 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4288 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4289 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4290 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4292 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4293 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4294 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4295 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4296 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4297 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4298 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4300 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4302 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4303 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4306 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4307 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4308 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4309 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4310 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4311 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4312 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4313 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4315 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4316 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4317 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4318 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4319 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4321 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4322 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4325 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4327 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4328 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4329 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4331 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4333 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4334 and get fix the header length calculation.
4335 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4336 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4339 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4340 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4341 assertions could call abort()).
4342 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4344 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4346 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4347 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4348 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4350 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4352 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4353 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4354 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4357 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4361 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4362 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4363 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4365 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4366 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4367 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4368 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4369 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4373 *) Changes in security patch:
4375 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4376 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4377 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4380 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4381 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4382 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4383 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4384 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4386 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4388 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4390 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4391 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4392 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4394 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4395 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4396 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4398 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4399 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4400 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4402 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4404 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4405 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4406 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4408 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4409 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4411 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4412 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4413 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4414 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4415 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4416 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4419 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4420 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4421 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4422 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4425 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4428 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4429 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4430 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4431 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4432 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4433 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4435 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4436 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4437 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4438 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4439 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4442 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4443 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4444 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4445 BN_generate_prime().)
4447 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4448 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4449 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4453 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4454 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4457 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4458 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4459 when using non-blocking I/O.
4460 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4462 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4463 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4465 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4466 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4469 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4470 configuration for the versions before that.
4471 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4473 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4474 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4475 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4476 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4479 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4480 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4481 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4484 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4488 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4489 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4490 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4492 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4493 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4495 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4496 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4497 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4498 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4499 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4500 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4501 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4504 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4505 using a local variable.
4506 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4508 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4509 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4510 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4512 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4515 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4516 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4518 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4519 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4520 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4522 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4524 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4525 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4526 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4527 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4530 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4534 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4535 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4536 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4537 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4538 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4540 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4541 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4542 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4544 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4545 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4546 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4548 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4549 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4550 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4551 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4553 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4554 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4555 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4557 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4559 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4560 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4562 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4564 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4565 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4566 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4567 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4569 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4570 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4571 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4572 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4574 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4575 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4577 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4578 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4579 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4582 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4583 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4584 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4586 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4588 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4589 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4590 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4591 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4592 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4593 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4594 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4597 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4598 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4599 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4600 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4602 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4603 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4604 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4605 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4606 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4607 the client will at least see that alert.
4610 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4614 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4615 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4616 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4618 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4619 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4620 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4621 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4624 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4625 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4626 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4628 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4629 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4630 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4631 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4632 may leak via logfiles.)
4634 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4635 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4636 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4637 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4641 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4642 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4645 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4646 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4647 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4648 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4649 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4652 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4653 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4655 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4656 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4657 followed by modular reduction.
4658 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4660 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4661 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4664 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4665 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4666 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4667 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4670 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4673 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4674 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4677 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4678 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4679 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4680 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4681 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4682 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4684 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4686 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4687 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4688 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4689 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4690 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4692 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4695 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4696 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4697 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4698 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4699 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4700 to allow the necessary settings.
4703 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4704 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4705 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4706 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4709 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4710 dh->length and always used
4712 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4714 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4715 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4716 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4717 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4718 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4723 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4725 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4731 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4732 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4733 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4734 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4736 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4737 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4738 always reject numbers >= n.
4741 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4742 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4743 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4744 variable) is not atomic.
4747 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4748 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4749 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4750 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4752 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4753 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4755 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4757 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4759 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4762 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4764 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4765 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4766 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4767 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4768 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4769 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4770 to traverse all of 'state'.
4772 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4773 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4774 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4776 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4777 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4779 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4780 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4781 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4782 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4783 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4784 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4785 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4786 further strengthens the PRNG.
4789 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4792 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4793 an error message in this case.
4796 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4799 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4800 positive and less than q.
4803 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4804 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4806 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4808 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4809 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4813 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4815 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4816 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4817 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4818 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4819 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4820 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4821 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4824 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4825 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4826 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4827 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4829 Both problems are now fixed.
4832 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4833 (previously it was 1024).
4836 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4837 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4840 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4843 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4844 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4845 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4848 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4849 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4850 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4851 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4852 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4853 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4854 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4855 environment variables.
4857 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4858 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4859 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4862 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4863 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4864 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4865 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4866 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4867 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4870 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4874 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4876 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4877 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4879 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4880 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4881 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4882 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4886 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4887 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4888 amount of data available.
4889 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4890 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4892 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4893 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4894 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4895 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4898 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4899 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4903 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4904 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4905 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4906 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4909 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4912 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4915 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4916 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4918 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4920 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4921 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4922 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4923 (but broken) behaviour.
4926 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4928 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4930 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4931 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4934 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4938 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4939 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4941 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4944 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4945 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4946 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4948 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4949 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4950 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4953 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4954 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4957 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4958 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4960 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4962 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4964 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4965 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4966 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4967 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4970 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4973 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4974 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4975 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4977 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4980 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4982 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4983 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4984 but the code is actually correct.
4987 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4988 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4989 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4990 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4991 and leaves the highest bit random.
4992 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4994 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4995 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4996 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4997 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4998 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4999 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5000 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5003 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5006 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5007 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5010 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5011 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5012 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5013 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5017 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5018 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5019 and break the signature.
5021 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5023 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5027 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5028 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5029 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5030 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5031 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5034 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5035 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5037 *) ./config script fixes.
5038 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5040 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5043 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5044 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5045 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5046 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5047 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5049 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5050 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5053 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5054 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5057 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5058 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5059 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5060 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5062 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5063 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5065 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5066 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5067 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5068 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5069 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5071 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5074 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5077 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5080 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5083 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5084 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5087 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5088 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5089 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5090 result of the server certificate verification.)
5093 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5094 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5095 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5099 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5100 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5101 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5102 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5103 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5104 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5105 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5106 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5109 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5110 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5111 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5112 happening the other way round.
5115 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5116 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5119 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5120 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5121 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5122 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5125 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5126 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5128 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5130 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5131 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5132 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5135 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5137 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5139 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5143 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5145 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5146 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5147 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5148 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5149 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5151 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5152 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5156 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5159 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5161 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5162 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5163 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5164 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5165 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5166 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5167 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5168 by the Finished messages.
5171 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5172 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5174 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5175 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5176 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5177 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5178 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5182 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5183 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5184 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5185 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5186 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5187 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5188 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5189 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5190 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5194 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5195 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5196 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5197 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5199 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5200 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5201 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5202 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5203 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5206 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5207 been tested well enough.
5210 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5211 it can return incorrect results.
5212 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5213 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5216 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5217 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5218 include zero length content when signing messages.
5221 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5222 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5225 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5228 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5232 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5233 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5234 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5235 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5236 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5237 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5240 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5241 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5243 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5244 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5246 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5247 random number < q in the DSA library.
5250 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5251 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5252 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5253 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5254 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5255 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5256 just makes things more complicated.)
5259 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5263 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5264 work better on such systems.
5265 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5267 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5268 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5269 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5272 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5273 if there was more than one signature.
5274 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5276 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5277 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5278 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5279 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5282 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5283 rather than always using the current time.
5286 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5287 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5288 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5289 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5290 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5291 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5293 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5294 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5296 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5298 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5299 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5300 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5301 the same hash value.
5303 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5304 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5305 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5306 with X509_STORE internally.
5308 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5309 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5311 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5312 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5313 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5314 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5315 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5316 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5317 entirely (maybe later...).
5319 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5321 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5322 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5323 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5324 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5325 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5326 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5327 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5328 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5330 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5331 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5333 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5334 to customise the verify behaviour.
5337 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5338 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5341 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5342 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5343 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5344 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5345 request is improperly encoded.
5348 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5349 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5352 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5353 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5355 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5356 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5360 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5361 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5362 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5365 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5366 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5367 BIO/fp routines also added.
5370 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5371 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5373 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5374 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5375 demos/state_machine.
5378 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5379 generation and verification.
5382 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5383 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5384 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5385 encode and decode it manually.
5388 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5390 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5392 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5393 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5394 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5395 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5397 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5398 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5399 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5400 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5401 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5404 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5407 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5408 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5409 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5411 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5412 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5413 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5414 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5415 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5416 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5417 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5418 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5420 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5421 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5423 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5425 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5426 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5427 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5431 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5432 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5433 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5434 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5438 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5440 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5443 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5444 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5445 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5446 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5447 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5448 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5449 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5450 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5451 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5452 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5453 short or long names are found.
5456 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5457 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5459 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5460 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5461 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5462 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5464 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5465 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5466 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5467 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5470 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5471 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5472 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5475 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5476 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5477 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5478 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5479 to allow the various flags to be set.
5482 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5483 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5484 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5485 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5486 dates to be checked.
5489 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5490 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5491 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5494 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5495 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5496 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5499 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5500 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5503 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5504 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5505 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5506 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5507 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5508 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5511 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5512 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5516 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5520 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5521 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5522 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5523 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5524 form signing output easier to verify.
5527 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5530 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5531 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5532 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5533 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5534 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5535 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5536 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5537 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5538 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5539 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5542 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5544 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5545 the syntax given in objects.README.
5546 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5548 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5551 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5552 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5553 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5554 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5555 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5556 consistent name changes.
5559 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5562 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5563 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5564 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5565 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5568 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5569 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5570 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5574 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5575 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5576 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5577 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5580 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5581 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5582 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5583 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5584 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5585 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5586 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5587 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5588 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5589 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5590 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5593 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5594 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5595 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5596 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5597 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5598 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5599 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5600 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5601 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5602 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5605 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5606 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5607 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5608 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5610 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5611 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5612 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5613 omit any duplicate addresses.
5616 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5617 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5620 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5621 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5622 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5623 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5624 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5627 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5629 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5630 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5631 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5632 Free => OPENSSL_free
5635 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5636 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5639 *) CygWin32 support.
5640 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5642 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5643 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5644 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5645 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5646 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5650 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5651 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5652 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5653 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5654 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5655 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5656 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5659 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5660 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5661 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5662 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5663 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5664 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5665 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5666 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5667 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5668 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5669 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5672 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5673 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5674 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5675 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5676 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5678 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5679 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5680 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5681 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5682 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5684 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5687 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5688 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5689 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5690 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5692 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5694 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5697 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5698 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5699 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5702 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5703 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5704 any installed hardware versions can.
5707 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5708 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5709 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5713 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5714 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5715 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5716 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5717 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5719 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5720 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5723 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5724 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5727 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5728 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5729 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5733 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5736 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5737 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5738 but no ssl client purpose.
5739 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5741 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5742 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5743 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5744 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5745 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5746 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5747 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5748 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5749 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5750 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5751 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5754 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5755 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5756 be obtained from the error queue.
5759 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5760 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5761 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5762 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5765 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5768 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5769 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5770 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5771 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5772 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5775 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5776 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5777 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5778 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5779 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5782 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5783 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5784 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5786 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5788 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5789 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5790 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5791 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5792 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5793 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5794 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5795 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5796 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5797 or "the configuration storage API"...
5799 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5801 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5802 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5804 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5806 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5808 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5809 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5810 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5811 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5812 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5813 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5814 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5816 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5817 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5820 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5821 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5822 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5823 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5826 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5827 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5828 them in a portable way.
5829 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5831 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5833 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5835 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5836 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5838 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5839 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5840 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5843 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5844 was larger than the MD block size.
5845 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5847 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5848 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5849 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5850 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5854 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5855 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5856 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5858 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5860 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5862 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5863 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5864 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5865 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5866 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5867 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5869 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5870 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5872 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5873 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5876 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5879 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5880 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5882 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5883 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5884 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5885 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5888 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5889 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5890 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5891 does not suppress any output.
5894 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5895 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5896 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5897 with all the associated security issues.
5899 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5900 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5901 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5902 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5903 use the value in the default purpose.
5906 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5907 and fix a memory leak.
5910 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5911 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5912 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5913 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5916 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5917 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5918 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5919 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5922 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5923 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5924 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5927 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5928 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5931 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5932 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5936 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5937 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5940 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5941 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5942 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5945 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5946 number generation fails.
5949 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5952 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5953 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5955 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5958 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5959 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5961 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5962 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5964 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5966 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5967 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5970 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5971 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5973 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5974 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5977 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5978 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5979 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5980 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5981 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5982 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5984 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5985 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5986 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5990 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5991 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5992 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5993 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5994 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5995 counter, some don't.)
5996 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5997 counters or duplicate objects.
6000 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6001 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6004 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6005 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6006 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6008 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6009 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6010 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6014 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6015 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6018 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6019 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6020 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6024 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6025 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6026 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6029 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6030 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6031 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6032 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6033 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6034 should work without changes.
6037 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6038 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6039 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6040 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6041 must be defined. E.g.,
6042 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6043 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6044 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6045 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6047 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6051 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6052 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6053 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6056 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6057 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6058 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6059 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6062 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6063 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6064 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6065 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6066 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6067 is prompted for as usual.
6070 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6071 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6072 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6073 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6075 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6076 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6077 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6078 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6081 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6084 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6088 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6091 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6094 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6098 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6101 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6104 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6105 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6108 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6109 options to produce them.
6112 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6113 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6116 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6120 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6121 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6122 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6123 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6124 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6125 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6126 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6129 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6132 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6133 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6134 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6137 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6138 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6140 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6141 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6144 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6145 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6146 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6150 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6151 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6153 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6154 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6155 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6156 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6157 generation becomes much faster.
6159 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6160 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6161 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6162 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6163 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6164 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6165 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6166 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6167 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6168 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6171 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6172 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6173 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6174 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6175 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6176 trial division stage.
6179 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6183 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6186 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6189 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6190 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6191 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6195 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6196 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6197 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6200 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6201 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6202 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6203 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6205 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6206 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6209 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6212 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6213 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6214 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6215 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6218 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6219 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6220 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6223 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6224 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6225 (instead of parameters) in future.
6228 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6229 when a new cipher list is set.
6232 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6233 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6236 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6237 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6238 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6240 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6241 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6242 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6243 an error is flagged.
6245 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6246 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6247 the readability was also increased :-)
6248 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6250 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6251 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6252 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6253 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6257 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6258 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6261 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6262 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6263 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6264 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6267 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6268 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6269 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6270 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6271 because they handle more complex structures.)
6274 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6275 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6276 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6277 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6279 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6280 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6281 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6282 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6283 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6284 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6285 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6288 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6289 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6290 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6291 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6292 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6295 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6298 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6299 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6300 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6301 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6302 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6305 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6309 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6310 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6311 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6312 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6315 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6318 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6319 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6320 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6321 international characters are used.
6323 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6324 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6325 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6329 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6330 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6331 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6334 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6335 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6336 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6337 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6338 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6339 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6341 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6342 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6343 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6344 be handled by the string table functions.
6346 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6347 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6348 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6349 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6350 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6354 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6355 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6356 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6357 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6358 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6360 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6361 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6362 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6363 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6366 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6367 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6368 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6369 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6370 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6374 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6375 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6376 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6377 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6378 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6379 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6380 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6381 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6383 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6384 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6385 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6388 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6389 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6390 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6391 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6392 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6393 support to pkcs8 application.
6396 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6397 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6398 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6399 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6400 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6401 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6404 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6405 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6406 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6407 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6408 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6412 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6413 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6414 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6415 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6419 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6420 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6421 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6422 and any application specific purposes.
6424 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6425 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6426 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6427 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6428 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6429 if the certificate is self signed.
6432 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6433 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6436 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6437 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6438 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6439 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6442 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6443 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6444 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6445 Update documentation.
6448 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6449 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6450 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6451 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6452 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6455 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6457 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6459 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6460 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6461 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6462 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6463 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6464 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6465 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6466 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6467 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6468 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6470 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6472 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6473 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6474 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6475 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6476 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6478 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6479 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6480 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6481 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6482 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6483 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6484 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6485 request additional information:
6486 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6487 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6489 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6490 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6491 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6494 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6495 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6498 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6501 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6502 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6504 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6505 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6506 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6510 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6511 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6512 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6514 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6515 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6516 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6517 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6518 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6519 included in OpenSSL.
6522 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6523 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6524 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6525 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6526 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6527 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6530 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6534 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6535 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6536 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6537 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6538 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6542 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6546 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6547 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6548 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6549 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6550 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6551 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6552 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6553 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6554 be maintained manually.
6556 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6557 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6558 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6559 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6560 work because people forget to call this function]
6561 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6562 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6563 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6566 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6567 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6568 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6569 should be discouraged from doing it.
6572 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6573 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6574 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6575 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6576 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6577 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6580 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6581 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6582 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6584 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6585 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6586 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6588 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6589 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6590 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6591 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6592 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6593 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6595 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6596 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6597 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6599 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6600 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6603 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6604 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6605 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6606 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6609 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6612 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6613 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6614 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6615 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6616 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6617 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6618 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6619 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6620 keys so we should be OK.
6622 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6623 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6624 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6625 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6626 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6627 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6628 stay in the name of compatibility.
6630 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6631 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6632 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6634 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6635 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6636 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6637 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6638 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6639 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6643 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6644 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6645 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6646 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6647 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6648 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6649 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6650 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6651 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6652 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6653 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6654 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6655 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6658 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6661 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6662 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6663 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6664 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6665 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6666 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6667 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6668 openssl verify ss.pem
6669 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6670 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6674 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6675 (and add it to external session representation).
6676 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6677 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6678 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6679 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6680 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6681 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6683 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6685 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6686 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6687 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6688 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6690 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6691 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6692 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6695 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6696 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6697 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6701 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6702 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6703 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6705 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6706 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6707 certificate auxiliary information.
6710 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6714 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6715 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6716 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6717 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6718 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6719 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6720 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6723 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6724 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6727 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6728 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6729 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6730 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6733 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6736 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6737 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6740 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6741 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6742 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6743 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6744 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6745 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6746 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6747 using the new 'x509' options.
6749 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6750 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6751 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6752 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6756 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6757 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6758 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6759 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6760 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6763 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6764 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6765 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6766 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6767 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6768 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6769 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6770 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6771 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6772 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6775 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6776 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6777 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6778 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6779 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6780 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6781 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6784 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6785 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6786 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6787 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6788 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6789 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6790 openssl.cnf for more info.
6793 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6794 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6795 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6796 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6797 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6798 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6799 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6800 md should be large enough anyway.
6803 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6804 for handling the random seed file.
6806 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6808 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6811 x509 (when signing).
6812 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6813 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6814 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6816 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6817 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6818 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6819 that support '-rand'.
6822 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6823 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6826 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6827 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6830 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6831 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6832 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6833 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6837 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6838 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6839 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6840 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6843 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6844 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6845 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6846 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6847 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6848 print out all the purposes.
6851 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6855 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6856 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6857 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6858 single function call.
6861 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6862 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6865 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6866 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6867 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6870 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6871 when producing the local key id.
6872 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6874 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6875 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6876 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6880 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6881 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6882 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6883 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6886 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6887 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6888 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6889 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6891 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6892 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6893 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6894 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6896 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6897 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6898 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6899 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6900 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6901 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6902 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6903 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6904 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6905 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6906 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6907 trivial: move one line.
6908 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6910 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6911 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6912 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6913 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6914 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6915 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6916 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6917 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6918 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6919 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6920 with an event loop for example.
6923 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6924 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6925 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6926 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6927 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6928 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6929 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6930 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6931 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6934 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6935 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6936 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6937 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6938 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6939 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6942 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6943 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6944 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6945 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6947 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6948 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6949 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6950 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6954 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6955 (still largely untested)
6958 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6959 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6962 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6963 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6966 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6967 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6968 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6971 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6972 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6973 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6974 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6975 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6978 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6981 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6982 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6983 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6984 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6985 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6989 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6990 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6993 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6996 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6997 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6998 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6999 are otherwise ignored at present.
7002 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7003 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7004 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7005 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7006 copied until the next read.
7009 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7010 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7011 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7014 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7015 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7016 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7017 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7018 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7019 associated functions.
7022 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7023 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7024 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7025 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7026 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7027 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7028 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7029 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7030 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7034 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7035 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7036 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7037 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7040 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7041 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7042 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7043 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7044 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7048 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7049 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7053 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7054 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7055 extensions to be obtained and added.
7058 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7059 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7062 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7064 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7067 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7068 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7070 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7074 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7075 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7076 DH parameters contain its length).
7078 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7079 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7080 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7081 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7082 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7083 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7084 utter importance to use
7085 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7087 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7088 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7089 attacks may become possible!
7092 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7095 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7096 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7099 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7100 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7101 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7105 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7106 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7107 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7108 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7109 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7110 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7111 private key operations.
7114 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7117 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7118 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7120 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7121 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7122 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7123 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7124 the password callback is called.
7125 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7127 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7129 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7130 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7131 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7132 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7133 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7134 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7137 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7138 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7139 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7140 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7141 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7142 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7145 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7148 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7149 delete an unused file.
7152 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7153 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7154 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7155 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7158 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7159 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7160 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7164 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7165 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7166 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7168 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7169 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7170 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7171 comparison" warnings.
7172 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7175 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7176 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7177 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7180 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7181 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7183 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7184 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7186 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7187 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7188 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7190 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7191 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7192 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7193 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7194 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7196 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7198 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7199 The interface is as follows:
7200 Applications can use
7201 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7202 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7203 "off" is now the default.
7204 The library internally uses
7205 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7206 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7207 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7209 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7210 even the default) are now avoided.
7212 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7213 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7214 than just having a counter.
7216 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7218 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7222 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7223 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7224 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7225 Initial "mode" flags are:
7227 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7228 a single record has been written.
7229 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7230 retries use the same buffer location.
7231 (But all of the contents must be
7235 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7238 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7239 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7241 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7242 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7243 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7246 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7247 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7249 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7251 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7252 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7253 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7254 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7256 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7257 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7259 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7260 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7261 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7262 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7263 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7264 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7267 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7268 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7269 necessary function names.
7272 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7273 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7274 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7275 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7278 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7279 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7280 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7283 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7284 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7285 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7286 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7288 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7292 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7293 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7294 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7297 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7298 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7302 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7303 for the encoded length.
7304 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7306 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7309 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7310 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7311 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7312 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7315 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7316 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7317 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7319 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7320 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7321 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7325 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7326 to use the new extension code.
7329 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7330 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7331 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7335 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7336 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7337 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7341 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7344 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7345 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7346 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7349 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7350 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7351 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7352 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7355 *) DES library cleanups.
7358 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7359 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7360 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7361 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7362 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7366 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7367 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7370 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7371 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7372 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7373 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7374 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7375 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7376 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7377 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7378 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7381 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7382 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7383 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7384 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7385 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7386 value doesn't matter.
7389 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7393 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7394 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7395 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7396 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7398 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7401 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7402 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7403 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7405 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7406 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7408 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7411 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7414 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7417 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7421 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7423 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7425 *) Updated some demos.
7426 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7428 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7431 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7434 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7437 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7438 instead of using a fixed path.
7441 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7444 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7448 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7450 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7451 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7452 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7454 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7455 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7456 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7457 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7458 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7459 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7460 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7461 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7462 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7463 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7466 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7467 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7470 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7471 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7472 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7473 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7474 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7476 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7479 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7480 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7481 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7484 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7487 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7488 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7489 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7490 key elements as negative integers.
7493 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7494 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7497 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7499 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7500 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7501 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7504 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7505 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7506 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7507 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7508 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7511 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7514 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7515 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7516 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7517 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7519 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7520 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7521 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7523 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7524 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7525 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7526 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7527 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7528 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7529 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7530 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7531 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7533 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7534 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7535 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7536 does not influence s as it used to.
7538 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7539 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7540 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7541 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7542 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7543 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7546 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7547 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7548 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7552 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7553 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7554 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7558 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7559 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7560 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7564 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7565 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7568 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7569 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7574 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7575 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7577 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7578 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7580 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7583 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7586 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7587 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7589 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7590 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7591 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7595 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7596 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7597 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7598 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7599 now it really counts the depth.
7602 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7603 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7604 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7605 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7606 didn't match the private key).
7608 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7609 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7610 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7613 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7616 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7620 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7621 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7622 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7625 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7628 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7629 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7630 such as /usr/local/bin.
7633 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7634 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7636 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7639 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7640 extension adding in x509 utility.
7643 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7646 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7650 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7653 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7654 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7655 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7656 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7657 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7658 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7659 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7660 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7661 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7662 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7665 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7668 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7669 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7672 *) Fix some race conditions.
7675 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7676 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7679 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7682 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7683 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7684 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7685 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7687 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7688 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7690 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7691 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7692 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7694 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7695 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7697 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7700 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7701 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7703 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7706 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7707 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7709 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7710 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7713 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7714 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7717 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7718 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7721 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7722 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7725 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7726 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7729 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7730 support typesafe stack.
7733 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7734 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7736 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7737 old X509V3 handling code.
7740 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7743 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7746 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7749 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7750 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7752 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7753 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7754 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7755 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7756 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7759 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7760 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7761 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7762 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7763 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7765 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7766 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7767 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7768 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7770 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7771 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7772 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7773 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7775 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7776 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7777 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7778 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7779 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7780 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7783 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7784 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7787 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7788 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7791 *) Tweaks to Configure
7792 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7794 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7798 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7801 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7802 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7805 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7806 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7807 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7810 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7813 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7814 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7817 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7818 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7819 to library startup routines.
7822 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7823 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7824 codes along the way.
7827 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7828 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7829 objects to objects.h
7832 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7833 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7836 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7837 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7839 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7840 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7841 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7843 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7844 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7845 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7847 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7848 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7849 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7852 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7854 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7855 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7858 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7859 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7860 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7861 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7862 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7864 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7865 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7866 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7868 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7870 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7872 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7874 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7875 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7877 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7878 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7879 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7880 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7882 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7885 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7886 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7887 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7888 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7891 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7892 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7893 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7896 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7897 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7898 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7899 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7900 installed as `perl').
7901 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7903 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7904 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7906 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7907 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7908 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7909 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7910 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7913 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7916 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7917 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7918 is horrible: I feel ill....
7921 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7922 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7923 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7924 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7927 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7930 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7931 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7932 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7933 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7935 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7936 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7937 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7938 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7939 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7940 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7944 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7945 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7947 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7948 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7950 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7953 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7954 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7958 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7959 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7960 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7961 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7962 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7963 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7964 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7965 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7966 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7967 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7968 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7970 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7973 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7974 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7975 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7976 for linking it into DSOs.
7977 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7979 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7983 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7984 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7985 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7986 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7987 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7988 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7990 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7991 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7992 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7993 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7994 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7995 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7996 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7998 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7999 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8000 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8004 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8005 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8006 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8007 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8010 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8011 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8012 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8013 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8014 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8018 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8019 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8020 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8021 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8024 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8025 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8026 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8028 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8029 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8031 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8032 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8033 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8034 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8035 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8038 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8039 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8040 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8041 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8042 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8043 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8044 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8047 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8049 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8050 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8053 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8054 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8056 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8057 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8060 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8061 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8062 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8063 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8064 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8066 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8067 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8068 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8069 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8070 no way to reconfigure them.
8071 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8072 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8073 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8074 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8075 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8078 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8079 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8080 recognized by the users.
8081 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8083 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8084 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8085 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8086 already masked variable.
8087 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8089 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8090 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8092 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8093 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8094 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8095 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8097 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8098 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8099 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8101 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8102 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8103 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8104 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8105 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8106 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8107 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8108 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8110 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8112 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8113 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8114 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8116 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8117 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8121 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8122 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8124 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8125 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8126 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8127 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8130 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8133 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8134 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8136 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8139 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8140 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8143 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8144 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8147 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8148 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8149 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8150 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8151 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8152 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8153 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8156 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8157 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8159 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8160 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8161 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8162 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8163 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8165 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8166 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8167 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8170 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8171 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8175 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8176 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8177 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8179 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8180 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8181 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8185 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8186 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8187 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8188 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8191 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8192 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8193 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8194 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8197 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8198 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8199 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8200 so it wasn't spotted.
8201 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8203 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8204 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8205 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8206 vectors if you have them.
8209 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8210 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8213 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8214 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8215 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8216 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8218 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8219 it will update them.
8222 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8223 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8224 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8225 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8226 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8227 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8228 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8231 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8232 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8233 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8234 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8235 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8236 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8237 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8238 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8239 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8240 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8242 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8243 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8244 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8245 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8246 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8249 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8253 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8254 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8256 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8257 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8259 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8260 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8263 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8264 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8266 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8267 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8269 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8272 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8276 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8277 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8278 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8279 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8281 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8284 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8287 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8290 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8291 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8294 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8295 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8299 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8300 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8303 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8304 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8305 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8308 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8309 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8310 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8311 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8312 properly to be processed.
8315 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8316 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8317 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8320 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8321 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8323 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8324 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8325 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8326 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8327 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8328 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8329 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8330 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8331 or delete all the .err files.
8334 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8335 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8336 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8337 to regenerate it if needed.
8338 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8339 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8341 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8342 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8344 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8345 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8346 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8347 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8348 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8351 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8352 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8354 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8355 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8357 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8358 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8359 error, but didn't set one).
8360 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8362 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8365 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8366 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8369 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8370 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8372 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8373 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8374 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8375 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8376 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8377 OID is not part of the table.
8380 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8381 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8384 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8387 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8388 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8392 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8393 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8395 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8397 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8399 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8400 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8402 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8403 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8405 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8406 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8408 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8409 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8412 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8413 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8416 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8417 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8419 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8420 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8422 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8423 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8425 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8426 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8428 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8429 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8430 unused in the certificate verification process.
8431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8433 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8434 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8437 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8438 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8439 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8441 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8442 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8443 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8444 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8445 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8447 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8448 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8451 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8454 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8457 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8458 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8460 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8463 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8466 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8469 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8470 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8471 other error libraries.
8474 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8477 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8478 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8482 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8483 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8484 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8485 the new set of documenation files.
8486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8488 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8489 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8490 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8491 number of arguments.
8492 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8494 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8497 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8498 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8499 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8501 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8504 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8508 unixware-2.0-pentium
8512 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8513 before they are needed.
8516 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8520 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8522 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8523 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8524 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8526 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8529 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8530 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8531 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8533 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8534 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8535 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8537 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8538 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8539 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8541 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8542 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8544 *) Updated the README file.
8545 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8547 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8548 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8549 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8551 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8552 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8555 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8556 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8557 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8558 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8559 o removed obsolete TODO file
8560 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8561 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8563 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8564 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8565 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8566 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8567 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8568 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8569 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8571 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8574 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8575 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8576 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8578 [The OpenSSL Project]
8581 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8583 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8586 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8589 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8590 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8593 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8594 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8598 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8600 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8602 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8605 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8608 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8611 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8614 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8617 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8620 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8623 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8626 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8629 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8632 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8635 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8638 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8641 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8644 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8647 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8650 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8653 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8654 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8655 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8658 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8659 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8662 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8665 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8668 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8669 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8672 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8675 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8678 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8679 bytes sent in the client random.
8680 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
