5 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [XX xxx XXXX]
7 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
8 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
9 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
10 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
11 message has informed the client about his choice.)
14 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
15 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
17 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
18 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
19 Improve header file function name parsing.
22 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
24 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
25 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
26 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
28 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
29 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
31 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
32 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
34 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
35 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
36 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
38 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
39 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
40 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
41 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
42 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
43 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
44 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
45 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
48 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
49 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
50 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
51 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
52 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
54 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
55 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
56 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
57 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
58 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
59 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
60 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
61 multiple values to extend the available space.
65 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
67 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
68 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
70 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
73 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
74 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
75 undesirable limitations.
76 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
78 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
79 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
80 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
81 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
82 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
83 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
84 to avoid potential handshake problems.
87 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
89 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
90 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
91 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
93 The latter two were purportedly from
94 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
97 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
98 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
99 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
102 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
103 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
106 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
107 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
108 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
109 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
111 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
112 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
113 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
116 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
117 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
118 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
119 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
120 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
121 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
124 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
126 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
127 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
130 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
131 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
133 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
134 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
135 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
136 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
139 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
140 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
143 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
144 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
145 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
146 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
147 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
148 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
149 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
153 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
154 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
155 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
156 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
159 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
160 under VC++ build system.
163 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
164 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
167 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
169 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
170 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
171 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
172 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
173 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
175 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
176 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
177 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
179 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
182 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
183 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
186 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
187 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
189 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
192 *) Extended Windows CE support.
193 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
195 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
196 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
199 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
200 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
204 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
206 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
209 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
212 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
213 key into the same file any more.
216 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
219 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
220 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
222 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
223 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
226 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
227 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
228 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
229 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
230 this only applies when building 'shared'.
231 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
233 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
234 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
235 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
238 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
239 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
240 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
241 - add new function for parameter creation
242 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
243 BN_BLINDING parameters
244 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
245 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
246 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
250 *) Add support for DTLS.
251 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
253 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
254 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
257 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
258 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
261 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
262 the apps/openssl applications.
265 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
266 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
267 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
270 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
271 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
273 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
274 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
276 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
277 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
278 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
279 avoid this algorithm.)
283 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
284 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
285 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
288 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
289 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
292 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
293 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
294 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
297 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
299 The blank line is mandatory.
303 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
304 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
308 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
309 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
311 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
312 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
313 to support policy checking and print out.
316 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
317 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
318 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
319 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
321 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
324 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
325 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
327 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
328 implementation contributed by IBM.
329 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
331 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
332 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
333 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
334 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
336 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
337 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
339 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
340 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
341 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
342 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
343 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
344 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
347 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
348 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
349 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
350 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
351 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
352 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
353 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
356 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
359 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
360 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
361 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
362 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
363 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
364 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
365 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
366 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
369 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
370 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
371 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
372 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
375 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
378 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
381 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
382 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
383 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
384 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
385 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
386 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
390 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
391 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
394 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
395 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
396 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
399 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
400 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
401 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
405 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
406 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
409 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
410 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
411 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
412 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
415 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
416 initialised value as BN_new().
417 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
419 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
422 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
423 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
424 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
425 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
426 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
427 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
428 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
429 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
430 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
431 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
432 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
433 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
434 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
435 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
436 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
438 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
439 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
440 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
441 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
444 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
445 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
446 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
447 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
448 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
449 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
450 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
451 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
452 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
455 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
456 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
457 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
458 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
459 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
460 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
461 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
464 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
465 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
466 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
467 these have been updated also.
470 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
471 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
472 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
473 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
474 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
478 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
479 structure of type "other".
482 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
483 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
484 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
485 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
486 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
487 situation in the script.
488 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
490 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
491 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
492 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
493 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
494 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
495 used as premaster secret.
496 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
498 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
499 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
500 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
502 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
503 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
505 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
506 control of the error stack.
509 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
512 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
513 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
514 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
515 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
518 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
519 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
520 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
523 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
524 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
525 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
529 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
530 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
531 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
532 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
535 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
536 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
537 the following flags are defined:
539 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
540 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
541 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
544 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
545 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
546 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
547 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
551 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
552 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
553 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
554 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
555 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
558 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
559 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
560 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
563 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
564 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
565 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
566 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
567 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
568 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
571 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
575 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
578 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
581 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
584 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
585 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
586 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
587 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
588 default implementation more easily.
591 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
595 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
596 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
599 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
600 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
601 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
602 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
604 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
605 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
606 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
610 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
611 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
615 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
616 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
617 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
618 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
619 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
621 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
623 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
624 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
625 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
629 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
630 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
631 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
632 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
633 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
634 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
635 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
636 linker additions, eg;
637 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
640 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
641 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
642 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
645 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
646 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
647 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
651 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
652 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
653 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
654 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
657 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
658 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
659 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
660 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
661 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
662 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
663 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
664 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
665 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
666 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
668 Example for using the new callback interface:
670 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
674 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
676 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
677 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
678 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
679 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
680 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
681 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
686 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
687 available to TLS with the number defined in
688 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
691 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
692 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
694 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
695 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
696 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
697 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
699 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
700 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
702 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
703 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
707 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
708 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
711 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
712 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
713 and a macro that behave like
714 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
716 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
719 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
720 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
721 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
723 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
725 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
728 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
729 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
730 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
731 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
733 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
734 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
735 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
736 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
737 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
738 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
739 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
740 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
742 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
743 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
746 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
747 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
749 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
750 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
751 files while avoiding the low level API.
753 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
754 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
755 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
756 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
758 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
759 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
760 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
761 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
762 instead of the low level API.
765 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
766 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
767 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
768 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
769 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
772 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
773 down to the template encoder.
776 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
777 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
780 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
781 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
782 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
783 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
785 *) Add ECDH engine support.
786 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
788 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
789 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
791 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
792 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
795 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
796 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
797 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
800 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
801 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
803 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
804 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
806 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
807 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
810 EC_GF2m_simple_method
814 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
815 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
816 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
817 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
818 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
819 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
821 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
822 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
825 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
826 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
827 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
828 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
829 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
830 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
831 various internal method names.)
833 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
834 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
836 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
837 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
839 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
840 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
842 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
843 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
844 methods are undefined.
846 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
847 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
849 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
850 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
851 length of the modulus.
853 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
854 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
856 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
857 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
859 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
860 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
862 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
863 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
864 used) in the following functions [macros]:
867 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
868 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
869 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
870 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
872 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
873 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
874 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
875 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
877 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
878 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
880 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
881 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
882 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
883 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
884 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
886 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
887 This applies to the following functions:
892 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
893 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
896 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
900 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
905 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
907 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
908 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
909 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
910 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
911 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
913 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
914 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
916 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
917 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
918 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
920 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
921 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
923 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
924 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
925 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
926 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
927 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
929 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
931 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
932 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
933 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
934 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
935 These control ASN1 encoding details:
936 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
937 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
938 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
939 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
940 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
941 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
942 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
944 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
948 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
949 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
950 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
952 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
953 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
954 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
955 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
962 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
963 EC_POINT_oct2point().
964 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
966 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
967 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
968 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
970 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
971 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
972 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
973 adding different types of curves.
974 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
976 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
977 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
978 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
981 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
982 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
984 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
985 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
986 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
987 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
989 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
991 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
992 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
994 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
995 library. Most notably,
996 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
997 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
998 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
999 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1000 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1001 extracted before the specific public key;
1002 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1003 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1005 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1006 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1008 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1009 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1010 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1011 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1013 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1014 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1015 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1017 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1018 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1019 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1020 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1021 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1022 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1026 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [xx XXX xxxx]
1028 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1029 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1030 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1031 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1032 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1035 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1036 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1039 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1041 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1042 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1043 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1045 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1046 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1048 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1049 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1051 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1052 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1053 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1055 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1056 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1057 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1058 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1059 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1060 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1061 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1064 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1066 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1067 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1069 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1070 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1071 undesirable limitations.
1072 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1074 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1076 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1077 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1078 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1080 The latter two were purportedly from
1081 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1084 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1085 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1086 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1089 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1090 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1093 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1095 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1096 module in FIPS mode.
1099 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1102 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1103 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1104 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1105 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1108 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1110 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1111 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1112 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1113 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1114 the difference induced by this change.
1117 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1119 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1120 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1121 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1122 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1123 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1125 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1126 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1127 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1129 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1130 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1133 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1134 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1135 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1136 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1140 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1141 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1142 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1143 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1144 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1146 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1147 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1148 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1149 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1150 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1151 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1153 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1155 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1156 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1157 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1158 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1159 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1162 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1166 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1167 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1168 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1171 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1172 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1173 structures constant.
1176 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1178 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1181 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1182 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1183 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1184 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1185 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1186 some needed definitions.
1189 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1192 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1193 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1194 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1195 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1198 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1200 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1201 server and client random values. Previously
1202 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1203 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1205 This change has negligible security impact because:
1207 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1210 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1213 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1214 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1217 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1220 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1222 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1225 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1226 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1227 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1229 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1232 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1233 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1236 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1237 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1238 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1240 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1243 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1244 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1245 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1249 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1250 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1251 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1252 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1254 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1255 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1256 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1257 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1261 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1263 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1264 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1265 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1266 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1267 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1270 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1273 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1274 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1276 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1277 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1278 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1279 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1280 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1281 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1282 rather than being initialized to 1.
1285 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1287 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1288 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1289 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1291 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1293 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1295 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1296 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1297 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1298 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1299 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1300 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1303 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1304 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1305 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1306 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1307 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1311 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1312 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1313 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1314 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1315 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1318 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1319 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1320 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1324 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1325 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1327 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1330 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1332 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1334 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1335 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1337 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1339 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1340 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1344 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1345 exiting on the first error in a request.
1348 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1349 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1353 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1354 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1355 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1356 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1358 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1359 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1362 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1363 blocks during encryption.
1366 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1367 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1368 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1369 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1373 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1374 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1375 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1376 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1377 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1381 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1383 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1384 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1385 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1386 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1389 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1390 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1391 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1392 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1393 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1395 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1396 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1397 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1398 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1399 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1400 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1401 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1402 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1403 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1406 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1407 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1408 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1409 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1412 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1413 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1416 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1418 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1419 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1420 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1421 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1422 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1424 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1425 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1426 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1428 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1429 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1430 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1431 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1432 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1434 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1435 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1436 used by default when no-err is given.
1439 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1440 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1442 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1443 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1444 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1445 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1446 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1448 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1449 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1450 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1451 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1453 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1455 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1457 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1459 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1460 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1461 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1462 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1466 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1467 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1469 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1470 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1473 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1474 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1475 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1476 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1479 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1480 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1481 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1482 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1483 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1484 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1485 followup to PR #377.
1488 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1489 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1492 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1493 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1494 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1497 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1499 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1502 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1503 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1504 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1505 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1507 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

1512 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1516 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1517 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1518 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1519 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1520 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1521 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1523 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1524 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1525 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1526 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1527 have to be made anyway).
1530 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1531 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1532 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1535 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1536 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1537 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1540 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1541 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1542 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1544 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1545 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1546 edit numbers of the version.
1547 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1549 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1550 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1551 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1553 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1554 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1556 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1557 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1558 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1560 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1561 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1563 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1564 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1566 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1567 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1569 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1570 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1572 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1574 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1576 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1577 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1578 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1580 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1581 representations in a platform independent manner.
1582 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1584 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1585 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1586 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1588 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do

1593 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1595 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1597 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]

1630 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1632 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1634 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1635 the 0.9.6 release series:
1637 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1638 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1640 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1642 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1645 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1646 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]

1649 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1651 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1652 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1653 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1654 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1656 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1657 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1658 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1660 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1661 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1662 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1663 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1665 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1666 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1667 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1670 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1671 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1672 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1673 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1674 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1675 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1676 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1677 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1680 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1681 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1682 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1685 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1686 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1687 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1688 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1689 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1691 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1692 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1694 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1695 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1698 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1699 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1700 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1701 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1702 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1703 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1706 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1707 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1708 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1711 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1712 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1715 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1716 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1717 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1718 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1719 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1720 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1721 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1724 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1725 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1726 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1727 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1728 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1729 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1732 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1733 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1734 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1735 declaration has been changed from
1738 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1739 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1740 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1741 has been changed into
1742 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1744 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1745 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1746 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1748 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1749 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1751 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1752 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1753 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1754 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1755 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1756 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1757 always load it have also been added.
1760 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1761 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1762 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1764 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1766 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1767 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1768 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1770 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1771 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1772 command line option can be used to specify an
1776 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1777 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1780 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1781 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1782 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1785 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1786 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1787 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1788 to work with the new engine framework.
1789 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1791 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore

1815 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1817 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1818 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1819 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1822 *) Add new functions
1824 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1825 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1826 These are similar to
1829 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1830 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1831 still in the error queue.
1832 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1834 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1836 default_algorithms = ALL
1837 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1840 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1843 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1846 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1847 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1848 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1849 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1851 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1852 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1854 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1855 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1857 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1858 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1861 *) New functions/macros
1863 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1864 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1865 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1866 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1868 to request calling a callback function
1870 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1871 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1873 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1874 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1875 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1876 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1877 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1878 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1879 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1880 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1881 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1882 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1884 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1885 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1888 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1889 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1890 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1891 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1892 the configuration scripts.
1894 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1895 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1896 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1898 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1899 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1901 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1902 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1903 when reusing an existing buffer.
1906 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1907 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1910 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1911 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1914 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1915 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1916 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1917 has the same effect.
1918 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1920 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1921 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1922 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1923 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1924 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1925 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1928 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1929 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1930 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1931 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1933 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1934 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1935 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1936 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1938 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1939 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1942 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1943 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1944 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1945 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1946 default), and then completely removed.
1949 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1950 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1951 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1952 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1953 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1954 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1955 particular extension is supported.
1958 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1959 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1962 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1963 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1964 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1965 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1966 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1967 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1968 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1969 requires the destination to be valid.
1971 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1972 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1975 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1976 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1977 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1980 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1981 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1983 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1984 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1985 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1986 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1987 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1988 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1989 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1990 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1991 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1992 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1993 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1994 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1995 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1996 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1997 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1998 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1999 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2000 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2001 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2005 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2008 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2009 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2010 become part of libeay.num as well.
2013 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2014 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2015 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2016 false once a handshake has been completed.
2017 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2018 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2019 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2020 client has followed the request.)
2023 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2024 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2025 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2026 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2028 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2029 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2030 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2033 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2036 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2037 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2038 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2041 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2042 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2045 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2046 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2047 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2048 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2051 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2052 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2053 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2054 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2055 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2056 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2059 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2060 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2061 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2062 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2063 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2064 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2065 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2066 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2069 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2070 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2073 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2076 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2077 md_data void pointer.
2080 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2081 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2082 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2083 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2084 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2085 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2088 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2089 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2090 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2091 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2092 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2093 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2094 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2095 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2096 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2097 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2098 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2099 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2100 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2101 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2102 rather than letting it slide.
2104 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2105 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2106 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2109 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2110 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2111 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2112 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2113 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2114 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2115 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2116 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2117 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2120 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2121 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2122 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2123 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2124 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2126 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2129 *) Add EVP test program.
2132 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2135 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2136 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2137 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2138 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2139 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2142 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2143 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2144 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2145 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2146 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2147 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2148 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2150 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2151 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2152 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2157 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2158 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2159 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2160 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2161 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2165 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2166 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2167 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2168 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2171 des_key_schedule ks;
2173 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2174 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2176 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2179 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2180 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2181 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2182 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2183 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2184 functions prevents this.
2187 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2190 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2191 correct _ecb suffix.
2194 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2195 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2196 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2197 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2198 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2201 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2204 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2205 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2206 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2207 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2209 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2210 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2212 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2213 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2214 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2215 via Richard Levitte]
2217 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2218 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2219 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2220 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2223 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2226 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2227 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2241 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2242 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2244 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2245 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2246 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2247 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2248 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2249 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2252 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2253 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2256 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2257 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2258 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2259 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2261 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2262 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2263 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2264 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2265 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2266 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2270 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2271 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2272 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2273 and interrupts/cancellations.
2276 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2277 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2280 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2281 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2282 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2284 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2285 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2289 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2290 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2291 than this minimum value is recommended.
2294 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2295 that are easily reachable.
2298 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2299 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2301 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2303 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2304 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2305 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2306 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2309 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2310 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2311 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2314 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2315 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2316 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2317 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2318 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2319 internally such as S/MIME.
2321 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2322 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2323 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2325 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2329 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2330 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2331 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2332 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2334 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2336 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2338 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2339 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2340 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2344 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2345 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2346 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2347 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2348 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2349 a window system and the like.
2352 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2353 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2356 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2357 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2358 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2359 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2360 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2361 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2362 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2363 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2364 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2368 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2369 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2373 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2374 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2375 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2376 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2377 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2378 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2379 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2380 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2383 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2384 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2385 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2386 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2387 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2388 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2389 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2390 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2391 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2392 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2393 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2394 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2395 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2396 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2397 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2398 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2399 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2402 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2403 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2404 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2405 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2406 internal engine_int.h header.
2409 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2410 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2411 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2412 modify their own ones).
2415 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2416 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2417 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2418 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2419 later on via ctrl() commands.
2420 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2421 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2422 structural references.
2423 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2424 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2425 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2426 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2427 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2428 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2429 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2430 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2431 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2432 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2433 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2434 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2437 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2438 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2439 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2440 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2441 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2442 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2443 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2444 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2447 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2448 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2451 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2452 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2455 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2456 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2457 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2458 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2459 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2460 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2461 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2464 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2465 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2466 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2467 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2468 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2470 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2471 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2475 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2477 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2478 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2479 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2481 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2482 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2484 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2485 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2486 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2488 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2489 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2491 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2492 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2494 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2496 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2497 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2498 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2501 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2502 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2505 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2506 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2507 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2508 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2509 is 40 of more characters long.
2512 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2513 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2517 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2518 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2521 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2522 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2526 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2528 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2529 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2532 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2534 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2535 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2536 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2538 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2539 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2541 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2544 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2548 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2549 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2550 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2551 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2553 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2555 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2556 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2558 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2559 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2560 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2561 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2562 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2563 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2565 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2566 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2568 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2569 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2571 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2572 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2574 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2575 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2576 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2577 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2579 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2580 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2582 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2583 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2585 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2586 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2587 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2588 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2589 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2592 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2593 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2594 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2595 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2598 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2599 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2600 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2604 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2605 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2606 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2607 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2608 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2609 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2610 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2611 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2615 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2616 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2619 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2620 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2621 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2622 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2625 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2626 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2627 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2628 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2629 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2630 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2631 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2632 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2633 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2634 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2637 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2638 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2639 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2640 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2641 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2642 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2643 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2644 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2646 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2647 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2648 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2649 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2652 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2653 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2654 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2655 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2657 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2658 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2659 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2660 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2661 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2665 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2666 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2667 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2668 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2672 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2673 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2674 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2677 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2678 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2679 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2680 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2681 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2684 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2687 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2688 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2689 option to ocsp utility.
2692 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2693 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2694 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2695 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2696 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2697 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2698 the request is nonce-less.
2701 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2702 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2703 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2706 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2707 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2708 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2711 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2712 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2713 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2714 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2715 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2718 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2719 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2723 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2724 additional certificates supplied.
2727 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2728 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2732 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2733 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2736 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2737 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2738 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2739 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2740 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2741 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2742 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2743 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2744 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2746 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2747 request to response.
2750 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2751 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2752 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2753 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2754 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2755 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2756 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2757 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2758 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2759 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2760 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2763 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2764 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2765 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2766 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2769 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2770 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2772 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2773 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2774 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2777 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2778 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2779 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2780 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2781 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2783 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2784 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2785 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2788 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2789 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2790 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2791 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2792 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2793 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2794 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2795 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2797 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2798 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2799 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2800 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2801 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2802 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2805 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2806 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2807 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2808 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2809 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2810 printout format cleaned up.
2813 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2814 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2815 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2816 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2817 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2818 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2819 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2820 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2823 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2824 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2825 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2826 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2827 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2828 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2829 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2830 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2833 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2834 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2835 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2836 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2838 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2840 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2841 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2842 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2843 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2846 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2847 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2848 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2849 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2851 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2853 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2854 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2855 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2856 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2858 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2859 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2861 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2862 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2863 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2866 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2867 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2868 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2871 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2872 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2873 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2874 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2875 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2876 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2877 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2878 functions are provided:
2880 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2881 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2882 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2883 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2885 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2886 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2887 extended allocation function is enabled.
2888 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2889 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2890 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2892 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2893 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2894 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2895 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2896 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2899 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2900 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2901 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2903 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2904 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2905 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2908 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2909 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2910 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2911 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2912 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2913 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2914 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2915 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2916 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2919 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2920 provide utility functions which an application needing
2921 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2922 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2923 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2925 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2926 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2927 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2928 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2929 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2930 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2931 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2932 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2933 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2935 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2936 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2937 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2938 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2941 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2942 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2943 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2944 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2945 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2946 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2947 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2948 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2949 will be added elsewhere.
2952 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2953 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2954 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2955 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2958 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2959 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2960 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2961 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2962 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2963 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2964 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2965 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2966 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2967 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2968 to produce the required SET OF.
2971 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2972 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2973 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2976 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2977 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2978 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2979 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2980 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2981 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2984 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2985 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2986 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2989 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2990 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2991 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2994 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2995 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2996 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2997 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2998 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3001 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3002 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3005 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3006 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3007 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3008 certifcates and CRLs.
3011 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3012 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3013 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3016 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3017 entries for variables.
3020 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3021 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3022 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3023 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3026 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3027 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3028 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3029 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3030 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3031 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3034 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3035 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3037 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3038 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3039 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3042 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3046 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3047 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3048 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3049 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3050 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3051 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3054 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3057 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3058 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3059 for now but they will eventually go away.
3062 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3063 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3064 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3065 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3066 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3067 has also been converted to the new form.
3070 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3071 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3072 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3073 for negative moduli.
3076 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3077 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3080 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3084 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3085 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3086 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3087 type-specific callbacks.
3090 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3092 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3093 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3095 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3096 in sections depending on the subject.
3099 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3103 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3104 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3105 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3106 be handled deterministically).
3107 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3109 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3110 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3111 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3114 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3117 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3118 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3119 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3120 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3121 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3124 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3125 sign of the number in question.
3127 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3129 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3130 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3131 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3132 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3133 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3136 *) New function BN_swap.
3139 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3140 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3141 results on negative inputs.
3144 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3145 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3146 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3149 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3150 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3151 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3152 and add new functions:
3161 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3165 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3167 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3168 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3170 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3171 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3172 be reduced modulo m.
3173 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3176 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3177 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3178 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3180 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3181 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3182 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3183 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3184 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3185 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3190 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3191 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3192 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3193 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3194 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3196 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3197 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3198 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3202 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3205 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3206 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3209 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3210 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3211 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3212 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3216 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3219 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3222 *) Add the following functions:
3224 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3226 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3228 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3230 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3231 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3232 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3233 libraries unless it's really needed.
3235 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3236 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3237 declarations (they differed!).
3240 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3243 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3246 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3249 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3250 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3253 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3254 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3255 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3257 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3258 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3261 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3264 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3267 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3270 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3271 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3272 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3274 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3275 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3276 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3277 different shared library filenames on each system.
3280 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3283 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3284 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3285 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3287 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3290 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3291 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3292 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3293 binary backward compatibility.
3294 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3295 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3296 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3300 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3301 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3302 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3303 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3307 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3310 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3311 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3312 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3313 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3317 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3320 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3322 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3323 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3324 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3326 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3328 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3330 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3331 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3334 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3336 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3338 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3339 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3341 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3342 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3346 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3347 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3351 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3352 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3353 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3354 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3356 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3357 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3360 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3362 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3363 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3364 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3365 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3368 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3369 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3370 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3371 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3372 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3374 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3375 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3376 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3377 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3378 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3379 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3380 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3381 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3382 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3385 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3387 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3388 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3389 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3390 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3391 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3393 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3394 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3395 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3397 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3399 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3400 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3401 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3402 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3403 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3404 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3407 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3408 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3409 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3410 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3411 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3414 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3415 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3416 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3418 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3419 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3420 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3424 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3425 being properly terminated.
3428 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3429 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3430 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3431 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3433 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3434 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3435 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3436 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3437 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3438 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3439 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3441 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3443 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3444 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3447 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3448 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3449 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3450 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3451 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3452 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3453 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3454 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3456 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3457 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3458 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3459 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3460 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3462 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3463 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3466 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3468 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3469 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3470 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3472 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3474 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3475 and get fix the header length calculation.
3476 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3477 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3480 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3481 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3482 assertions could call abort()).
3483 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3485 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3487 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3488 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3489 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3491 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3493 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3494 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3495 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3498 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3502 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3503 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3504 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3506 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3507 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3508 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3509 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3510 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3514 *) Changes in security patch:
3516 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3517 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3518 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3521 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3522 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3523 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3524 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3525 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3527 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3529 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3531 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3532 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3533 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3535 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3536 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3537 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3539 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3540 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3541 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3543 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3545 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3546 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3547 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3549 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3550 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3552 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3553 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3554 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3555 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3556 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3557 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3560 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3561 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3562 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3563 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3566 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3569 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3570 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3571 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3572 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3573 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3574 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3576 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3577 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3578 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3579 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3580 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3583 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3584 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3585 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3586 BN_generate_prime().)
3588 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3589 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3590 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3594 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3595 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3598 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3599 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3600 when using non-blocking I/O.
3601 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3603 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3604 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3606 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3607 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3610 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3611 configuration for the versions before that.
3612 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3614 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3615 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3616 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3617 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3620 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3621 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3622 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3625 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3629 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3630 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3631 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3633 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3634 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3636 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3637 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3638 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3639 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3640 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3641 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3642 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3645 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3646 using a local variable.
3647 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3649 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3650 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3651 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3653 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3656 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3657 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3659 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3660 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3661 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3663 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3665 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3666 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3667 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3668 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3671 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3675 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3676 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3677 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3678 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3679 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3681 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3682 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3683 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3685 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3686 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3687 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3689 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3690 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3691 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3692 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3694 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3695 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3696 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3698 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3700 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3701 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3703 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3705 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3706 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3707 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3708 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3710 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3711 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3712 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3713 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3715 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3716 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3718 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3719 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3720 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3723 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3724 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3725 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3727 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3729 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3730 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3731 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3732 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3733 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3734 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3735 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3738 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3739 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3740 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3741 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3743 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3744 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3745 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3746 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3747 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3748 the client will at least see that alert.
3751 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3755 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3756 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3757 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3759 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3760 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3761 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3762 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3765 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3766 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3767 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3769 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3770 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3771 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3772 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3773 may leak via logfiles.)
3775 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3776 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3777 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3778 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3782 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3783 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3786 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3787 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3788 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3789 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3790 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3793 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3794 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3796 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3797 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3798 followed by modular reduction.
3799 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3801 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3802 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3805 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3806 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3807 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3808 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3811 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3814 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3815 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3818 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3819 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3820 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3821 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3822 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3823 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3825 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3827 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3828 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3829 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3830 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3831 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3833 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3836 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3837 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3838 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3839 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3840 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3841 to allow the necessary settings.
3844 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3845 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3846 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3847 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3850 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3851 dh->length and always used
3853 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3855 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3856 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3857 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3858 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3859 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3864 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3866 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3872 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3873 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3874 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3875 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3877 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3878 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3879 always reject numbers >= n.
3882 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3883 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3884 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3885 variable) is not atomic.
3888 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3889 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3890 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3891 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3893 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3894 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3896 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3898 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3900 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3903 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3905 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3906 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3907 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3908 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3909 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3910 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3911 to traverse all of 'state'.
3913 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3914 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3915 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3917 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3918 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3920 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3921 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3922 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3923 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3924 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3925 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3926 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3927 further strengthens the PRNG.
3930 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3933 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3934 an error message in this case.
3937 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3940 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3941 positive and less than q.
3944 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3945 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3947 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3949 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3950 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3954 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3956 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3957 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3958 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3959 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3960 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3961 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3962 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3965 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3966 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3967 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3968 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3970 Both problems are now fixed.
3973 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3974 (previously it was 1024).
3977 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3978 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3981 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3984 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3985 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3986 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3989 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3990 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3991 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3992 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3993 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3994 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3995 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3996 environment variables.
3998 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3999 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4000 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4003 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4004 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4005 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4006 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4007 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4008 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4011 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4015 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4017 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4018 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4020 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4021 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4022 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4023 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4027 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4028 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4029 amount of data available.
4030 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4031 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4033 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4034 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4035 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4036 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4039 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4040 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4044 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4045 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4046 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4047 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4050 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4053 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4056 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4057 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4059 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4061 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4062 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4063 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4064 (but broken) behaviour.
4067 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4069 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4071 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4072 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4075 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4079 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4080 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4082 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4085 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4086 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4087 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4089 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4090 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4091 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4094 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4095 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4098 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4099 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4101 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4103 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4105 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4106 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4107 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4108 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4111 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4114 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4115 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4116 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4118 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4121 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4123 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4124 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4125 but the code is actually correct.
4128 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4129 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4130 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4131 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4132 and leaves the highest bit random.
4133 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4135 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4136 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4137 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4138 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4139 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4140 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4141 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4144 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4147 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4148 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4151 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4152 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4153 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4154 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4158 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4159 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4160 and break the signature.
4162 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4164 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4168 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4169 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4170 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4171 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4172 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4175 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4176 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4178 *) ./config script fixes.
4179 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4181 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4184 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4185 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4186 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4187 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4188 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4190 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4191 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4194 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4195 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4198 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4199 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4200 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4201 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4203 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4204 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4206 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4207 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4208 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4209 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4210 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4212 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4215 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4218 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4221 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4224 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4225 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4228 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4229 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4230 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4231 result of the server certificate verification.)
4234 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4235 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4236 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4240 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4241 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4242 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4243 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4244 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4245 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4246 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4247 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4250 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4251 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4252 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4253 happening the other way round.
4256 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4257 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4260 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4261 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4262 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4263 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4266 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4267 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4269 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4271 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4272 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4273 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4276 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4278 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4280 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4284 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4286 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4287 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4288 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4289 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4290 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4292 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4293 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4297 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4300 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4302 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4303 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4304 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4305 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4306 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4307 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4308 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4309 by the Finished messages.
4312 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4313 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4315 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4316 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4317 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4318 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4319 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4323 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4324 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4325 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4326 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4327 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4328 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4329 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4330 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4331 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4335 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4336 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4337 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4338 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4340 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4341 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4342 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4343 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4344 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4347 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4348 been tested well enough.
4351 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4352 it can return incorrect results.
4353 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4354 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4357 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4358 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4359 include zero length content when signing messages.
4362 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4363 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4366 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4369 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4373 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4374 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4375 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4376 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4377 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4378 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4381 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4382 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4384 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4385 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4387 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4388 random number < q in the DSA library.
4391 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4392 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4393 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4394 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4395 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4396 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4397 just makes things more complicated.)
4400 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4404 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4405 work better on such systems.
4406 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4408 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4409 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4410 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4413 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4414 if there was more than one signature.
4415 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4417 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4418 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4419 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4420 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4423 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4424 rather than always using the current time.
4427 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4428 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4429 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4430 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4431 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4432 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4434 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4435 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4437 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4439 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4440 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4441 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4442 the same hash value.
4444 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4445 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4446 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4447 with X509_STORE internally.
4449 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4450 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4452 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4453 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4454 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4455 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4456 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4457 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4458 entirely (maybe later...).
4460 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4462 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4463 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4464 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4465 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4466 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4467 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4468 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4469 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4471 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4472 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4474 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4475 to customise the verify behaviour.
4478 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4479 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4482 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4483 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4484 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4485 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4486 request is improperly encoded.
4489 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4490 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4493 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4494 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4496 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4497 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4501 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4502 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4503 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4506 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4507 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4508 BIO/fp routines also added.
4511 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4512 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4514 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4515 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4516 demos/state_machine.
4519 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4520 generation and verification.
4523 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4524 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4525 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4526 encode and decode it manually.
4529 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4531 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4533 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4534 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4535 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4536 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4538 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4539 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4540 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4541 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4542 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4545 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4548 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4549 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4550 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4552 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4553 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4554 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4555 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4556 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4557 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4558 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4559 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4561 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4562 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4564 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4566 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4567 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4568 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4572 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4573 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4574 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4575 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4579 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4581 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4584 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4585 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4586 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4587 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4588 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4589 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4590 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4591 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4592 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4593 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4594 short or long names are found.
4597 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4598 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4600 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4601 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4602 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4603 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4605 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4606 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4607 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4608 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4611 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4612 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4613 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4616 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4617 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4618 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4619 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4620 to allow the various flags to be set.
4623 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4624 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4625 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4626 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4627 dates to be checked.
4630 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4631 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4632 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4635 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4636 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4637 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4640 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4641 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4644 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4645 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4646 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4647 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4648 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4649 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4652 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4653 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4657 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4661 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4662 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4663 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4664 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4665 form signing output easier to verify.
4668 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4671 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4672 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4673 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4674 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4675 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4676 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4677 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4678 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4679 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4680 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4683 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4685 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4686 the syntax given in objects.README.
4687 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4689 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4692 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4693 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4694 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4695 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4696 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4697 consistent name changes.
4700 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4703 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4704 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4705 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4706 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4709 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4710 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4711 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4715 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4716 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4717 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4718 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4721 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4722 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4723 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4724 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4725 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4726 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4727 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4728 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4729 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4730 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4731 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4734 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4735 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4736 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4737 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4738 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4739 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4740 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4741 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4742 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4743 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4746 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4747 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4748 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4749 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4751 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4752 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4753 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4754 omit any duplicate addresses.
4757 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4758 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4761 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4762 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4763 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4764 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4765 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4768 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4770 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4771 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4772 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4773 Free => OPENSSL_free
4776 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4777 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4780 *) CygWin32 support.
4781 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4783 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4784 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4785 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4786 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4787 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4791 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4792 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4793 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4794 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4795 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4796 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4797 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4800 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4801 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4802 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4803 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4804 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4805 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4806 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4807 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4808 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4809 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4810 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4813 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4814 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4815 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4816 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4817 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4819 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4820 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4821 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4822 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4823 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4825 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4828 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4829 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4830 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4831 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4833 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4835 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4838 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4839 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4840 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4843 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4844 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4845 any installed hardware versions can.
4848 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4849 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4850 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4854 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4855 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4856 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4857 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4858 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4860 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4861 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4864 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4865 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4868 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4869 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4870 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4874 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4877 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4878 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4879 but no ssl client purpose.
4880 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4882 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4883 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4884 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4885 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4886 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4887 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4888 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4889 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4890 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4891 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4892 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4895 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4896 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4897 be obtained from the error queue.
4900 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4901 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4902 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4903 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4906 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4909 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4910 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4911 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4912 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4913 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4916 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4917 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4918 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4919 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4920 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4923 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4924 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4925 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4927 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4929 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4930 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4931 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4932 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4933 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4934 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4935 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4936 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4937 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4938 or "the configuration storage API"...
4940 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4942 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4943 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4945 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4947 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4949 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4950 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4951 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4952 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4953 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4954 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4955 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4957 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4958 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4961 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4962 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4963 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4964 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4967 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4968 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4969 them in a portable way.
4970 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4972 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4974 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4976 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4977 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4979 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4980 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4981 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4984 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4985 was larger than the MD block size.
4986 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4988 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4989 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4990 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4991 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4995 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4996 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4997 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4999 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5001 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5003 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5004 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5005 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5006 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5007 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5008 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5010 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5011 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5013 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5014 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5017 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5020 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5021 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5023 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5024 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5025 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5026 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5029 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5030 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5031 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5032 does not suppress any output.
5035 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5036 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5037 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5038 with all the associated security issues.
5040 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5041 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5042 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5043 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5044 use the value in the default purpose.
5047 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5048 and fix a memory leak.
5051 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5052 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5053 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5054 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5057 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5058 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5059 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5060 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5063 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5064 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5065 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5068 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5069 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5072 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5073 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5077 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5078 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5081 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5082 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5083 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5086 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5087 number generation fails.
5090 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5093 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5094 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5096 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5099 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5100 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5102 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5103 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5105 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5107 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5108 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5111 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5112 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5114 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5115 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5118 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5119 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5120 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5121 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5122 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5123 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5125 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5126 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5127 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5131 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5132 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5133 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5134 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5135 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5136 counter, some don't.)
5137 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5138 counters or duplicate objects.
5141 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5142 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5145 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5146 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5147 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5149 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5150 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5151 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5155 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5156 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5159 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5160 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5161 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5165 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5166 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5167 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5170 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5171 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5172 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5173 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5174 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5175 should work without changes.
5178 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5179 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5180 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5181 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5182 must be defined. E.g.,
5183 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5184 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5185 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5186 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5188 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5192 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5193 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5194 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5197 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5198 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5199 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5200 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5203 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5204 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5205 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5206 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5207 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5208 is prompted for as usual.
5211 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5212 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5213 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5214 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5216 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5217 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5218 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5219 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5222 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5225 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5229 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5232 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5235 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5239 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5242 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5245 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5246 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5249 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5250 options to produce them.
5253 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5254 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5257 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5261 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5262 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5263 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5264 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5265 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5266 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5267 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5270 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5273 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5274 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5275 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5278 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5279 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5281 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5282 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5285 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5286 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5287 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5291 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5292 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5294 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5295 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5296 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5297 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5298 generation becomes much faster.
5300 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5301 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5302 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5303 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5304 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5305 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5306 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5307 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5308 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5309 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5312 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5313 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5314 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5315 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5316 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5317 trial division stage.
5320 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5324 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5327 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5330 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5331 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5332 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5336 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5337 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5338 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5341 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5342 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5343 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5344 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5346 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5347 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5350 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5353 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5354 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5355 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5356 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5359 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5360 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5361 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5364 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5365 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5366 (instead of parameters) in future.
5369 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5370 when a new cipher list is set.
5373 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5374 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5377 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5378 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5379 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5381 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5382 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5383 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5384 an error is flagged.
5386 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5387 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5388 the readability was also increased :-)
5389 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5391 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5392 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5393 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5394 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5398 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5399 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5402 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5403 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5404 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5405 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5408 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5409 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5410 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5411 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5412 because they handle more complex structures.)
5415 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5416 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5417 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5418 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5420 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5421 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5422 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5423 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5424 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5425 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5426 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5429 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5430 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5431 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5432 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5433 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5436 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5439 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5440 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5441 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5442 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5443 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5446 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5450 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5451 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5452 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5453 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5456 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5459 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5460 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5461 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5462 international characters are used.
5464 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5465 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5466 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5470 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5471 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5472 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5475 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5476 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5477 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5478 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5479 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5480 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5482 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5483 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5484 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5485 be handled by the string table functions.
5487 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5488 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5489 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5490 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5491 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5495 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5496 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5497 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5498 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5499 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5501 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5502 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5503 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5504 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5507 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5508 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5509 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5510 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5511 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5515 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5516 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5517 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5518 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5519 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5520 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5521 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5522 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5524 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5525 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5526 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5529 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5530 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5531 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5532 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5533 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5534 support to pkcs8 application.
5537 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5538 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5539 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5540 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5541 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5542 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5545 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5546 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5547 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5548 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5549 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5553 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5554 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5555 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5556 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5560 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5561 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5562 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5563 and any application specific purposes.
5565 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5566 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5567 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5568 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5569 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5570 if the certificate is self signed.
5573 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5574 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5577 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5578 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5579 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5580 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5583 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5584 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5585 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5586 Update documentation.
5589 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5590 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5591 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5592 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5593 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5596 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5598 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5600 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5601 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5602 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5603 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5604 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5605 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5606 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5607 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5608 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5609 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5611 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5613 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5614 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5615 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5616 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5617 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5619 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5620 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5621 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5622 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5623 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5624 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5625 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5626 request additional information:
5627 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5628 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5630 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5631 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5632 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5635 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5636 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5639 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5642 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5643 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5645 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5646 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5647 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5651 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5652 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5653 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5655 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5656 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5657 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5658 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5659 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5660 included in OpenSSL.
5663 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5664 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5665 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5666 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5667 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5668 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5671 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5675 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5676 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5677 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5678 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5679 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5683 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5687 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5688 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5689 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5690 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5691 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5692 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5693 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5694 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5695 be maintained manually.
5697 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5698 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5699 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5700 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5701 work because people forget to call this function]
5702 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5703 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5704 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5707 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5708 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5709 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5710 should be discouraged from doing it.
5713 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5714 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5715 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5716 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5717 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5718 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5721 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5722 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5723 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5725 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5726 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5727 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5729 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5730 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5731 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5732 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5733 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5734 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5736 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5737 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5738 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5740 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5741 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5744 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5745 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5746 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5747 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5750 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5753 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5754 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5755 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5756 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5757 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5758 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5759 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5760 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5761 keys so we should be OK.
5763 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5764 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5765 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5766 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5767 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5768 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5769 stay in the name of compatibility.
5771 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5772 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5773 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5775 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5776 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5777 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5778 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5779 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5780 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5784 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5785 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5786 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5787 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5788 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5789 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5790 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5791 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5792 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5793 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5794 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5795 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5796 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5799 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5802 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5803 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5804 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5805 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5806 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5807 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5808 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5809 openssl verify ss.pem
5810 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5811 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5815 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5816 (and add it to external session representation).
5817 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5818 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5819 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5820 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5821 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5822 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5824 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5826 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5827 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5828 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5829 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5831 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5832 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5833 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5836 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5837 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5838 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5842 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5843 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5844 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5846 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5847 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5848 certificate auxiliary information.
5851 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5855 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5856 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5857 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5858 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5859 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5860 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5861 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5864 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5865 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5868 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5869 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5870 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5871 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5874 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5877 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5878 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5881 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5882 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5883 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5884 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5885 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5886 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5887 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5888 using the new 'x509' options.
5890 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5891 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5892 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5893 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5897 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5898 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5899 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5900 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5901 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5904 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5905 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5906 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5907 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5908 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5909 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5910 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5911 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5912 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5913 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5916 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5917 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5918 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5919 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5920 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5921 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5922 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5925 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5926 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5927 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5928 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5929 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5930 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5931 openssl.cnf for more info.
5934 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5935 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5936 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5937 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5938 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5939 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5940 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5941 md should be large enough anyway.
5944 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5945 for handling the random seed file.
5947 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5949 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5952 x509 (when signing).
5953 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5954 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5955 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5957 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5958 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5959 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5960 that support '-rand'.
5963 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5964 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5967 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5968 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5971 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5972 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5973 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5974 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5978 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5979 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5980 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5981 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5984 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5985 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5986 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5987 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5988 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5989 print out all the purposes.
5992 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5996 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5997 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5998 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5999 single function call.
6002 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6003 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6006 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6007 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6008 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6011 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6012 when producing the local key id.
6013 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6015 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6016 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6017 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6021 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6022 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6023 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6024 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6027 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6028 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6029 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6030 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6032 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6033 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6034 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6035 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6037 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6038 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6039 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6040 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6041 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6042 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6043 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6044 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6045 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6046 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6047 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6048 trivial: move one line.
6049 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6051 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6052 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6053 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6054 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6055 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6056 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6057 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6058 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6059 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6060 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6061 with an event loop for example.
6064 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6065 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6066 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6067 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6068 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6069 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6070 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6071 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6072 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6075 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6076 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6077 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6078 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6079 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6080 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6083 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6084 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6085 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6086 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6088 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6089 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6090 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6091 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6095 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6096 (still largely untested)
6099 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6100 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6103 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6104 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6107 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6108 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6109 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6112 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6113 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6114 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6115 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6116 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6119 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6122 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6123 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6124 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6125 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6126 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6130 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6131 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6134 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6137 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6138 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6139 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6140 are otherwise ignored at present.
6143 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6144 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6145 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6146 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6147 copied until the next read.
6150 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6151 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6152 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6155 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6156 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6157 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6158 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6159 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6160 associated functions.
6163 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6164 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6165 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6166 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6167 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6168 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6169 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6170 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6171 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6175 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6176 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6177 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6178 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6181 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6182 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6183 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6184 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6185 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6189 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6190 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6194 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6195 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6196 extensions to be obtained and added.
6199 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6200 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6203 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6205 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6206 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6208 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6209 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6211 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6215 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6216 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6217 DH parameters contain its length).
6219 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6220 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6221 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6222 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6223 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6224 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6225 utter importance to use
6226 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6228 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6229 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6230 attacks may become possible!
6233 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6236 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6237 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6240 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6241 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6242 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6246 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6247 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6248 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6249 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6250 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6251 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6252 private key operations.
6255 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6258 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6259 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6261 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6262 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6263 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6264 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6265 the password callback is called.
6266 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6268 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6270 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6271 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6272 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6273 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6274 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6275 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6278 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6279 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6280 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6281 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6282 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6283 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6286 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6289 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6290 delete an unused file.
6293 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6294 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6295 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6296 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6299 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6300 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6301 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6305 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6306 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6307 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6309 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6310 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6311 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6312 comparison" warnings.
6313 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6316 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6317 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6318 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6321 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6322 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6324 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6325 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6327 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6328 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6329 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6331 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6332 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6333 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6334 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6335 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6337 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6339 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6340 The interface is as follows:
6341 Applications can use
6342 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6343 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6344 "off" is now the default.
6345 The library internally uses
6346 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6347 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6348 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6350 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6351 even the default) are now avoided.
6353 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6354 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6355 than just having a counter.
6357 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6359 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6363 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6364 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6365 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6366 Initial "mode" flags are:
6368 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6369 a single record has been written.
6370 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6371 retries use the same buffer location.
6372 (But all of the contents must be
6376 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6379 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6380 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6382 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6383 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6384 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6387 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6388 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6390 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6392 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6393 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6394 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6395 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6397 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6398 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6400 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6401 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6402 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6403 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6404 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6405 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6408 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6409 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6410 necessary function names.
6413 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6414 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6415 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6416 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6419 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6420 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6421 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6424 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6425 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6426 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6427 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6429 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6433 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6434 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6435 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6438 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6439 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6443 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6444 for the encoded length.
6445 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6447 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6450 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6451 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6452 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6453 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6456 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6457 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6458 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6460 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6461 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6462 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6466 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6467 to use the new extension code.
6470 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6471 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6472 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6476 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6477 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6478 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6482 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6485 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6486 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6487 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6490 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6491 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6492 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6493 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6496 *) DES library cleanups.
6499 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6500 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6501 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6502 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6503 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6507 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6508 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6511 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6512 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6513 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6514 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6515 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6516 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6517 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6518 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6519 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6522 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6523 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6524 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6525 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6526 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6527 value doesn't matter.
6530 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6534 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6535 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6536 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6537 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6539 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6542 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6543 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6544 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6546 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6547 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6549 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6552 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6555 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6558 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6562 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6564 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6566 *) Updated some demos.
6567 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6569 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6572 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6575 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6578 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6579 instead of using a fixed path.
6582 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6585 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6589 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6591 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6592 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6593 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6595 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6596 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6597 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6598 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6599 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6600 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6601 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6602 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6603 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6604 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6607 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6608 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6611 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6612 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6613 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6614 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6615 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6617 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6620 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6621 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6622 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6625 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6628 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6629 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6630 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6631 key elements as negative integers.
6634 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6635 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6638 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6640 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6641 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6642 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6645 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6646 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6647 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6648 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6649 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6652 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6655 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6656 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6657 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6660 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6661 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6662 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6664 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6665 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6666 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6667 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6668 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6669 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6670 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6671 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6672 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6674 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6675 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6676 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6677 does not influence s as it used to.
6679 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6680 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6681 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6682 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6683 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6684 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6687 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6688 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6689 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6693 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6694 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6695 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6699 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6700 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6701 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6705 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6706 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6709 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6710 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6715 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6716 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6718 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6719 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6721 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6724 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6727 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6728 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6730 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6731 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6732 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6736 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6737 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6738 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6739 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6740 now it really counts the depth.
6743 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6744 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6745 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6746 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6747 didn't match the private key).
6749 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6750 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6751 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6754 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6757 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6761 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6762 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6763 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6766 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6769 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6770 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6771 such as /usr/local/bin.
6774 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6775 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6777 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6780 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6781 extension adding in x509 utility.
6784 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6787 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6791 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6794 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6795 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6796 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6797 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6798 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6799 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6800 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6801 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6802 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6803 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6806 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6809 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6810 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6813 *) Fix some race conditions.
6816 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6817 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6820 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6823 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6824 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6825 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6826 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6828 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6829 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6831 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6832 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6833 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6835 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6836 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6838 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6841 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6842 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6844 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6847 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6848 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6850 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6851 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6854 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6855 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6858 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6859 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6862 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6863 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6866 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6867 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6870 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6871 support typesafe stack.
6874 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6875 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6877 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6878 old X509V3 handling code.
6881 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6884 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6887 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6890 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6891 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6893 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6894 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6895 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6896 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6897 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6900 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6901 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6902 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6903 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6904 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6906 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6907 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6908 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6909 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6911 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6912 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6913 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6916 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6917 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6918 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6919 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6920 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6921 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6924 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6925 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6928 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6929 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6932 *) Tweaks to Configure
6933 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6935 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6939 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6942 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6943 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6946 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6947 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6948 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6951 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6954 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6955 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6958 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6959 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6960 to library startup routines.
6963 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6964 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6965 codes along the way.
6968 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6969 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6970 objects to objects.h
6973 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6974 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6977 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6978 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6980 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6981 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6982 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6984 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6985 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6986 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6988 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6989 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6990 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6993 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6995 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6996 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6999 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7000 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7001 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7002 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7003 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7005 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7006 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7007 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7009 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7011 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7013 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7015 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7016 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7018 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7019 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7020 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7021 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7023 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7026 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7027 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7028 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7029 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7032 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7033 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7034 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7037 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7038 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7039 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7040 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7041 installed as `perl').
7042 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7044 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7045 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7047 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7048 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7049 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7050 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7051 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7054 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7057 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7058 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7059 is horrible: I feel ill....
7062 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7063 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7064 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7065 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7068 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7069 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7071 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7072 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7073 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7074 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7076 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7077 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7078 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7079 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7080 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7081 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7083 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7085 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7086 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7088 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7089 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7091 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7094 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7095 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7099 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7100 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7101 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7102 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7103 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7104 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7105 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7106 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7107 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7108 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7109 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7111 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7114 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7115 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7116 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7117 for linking it into DSOs.
7118 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7120 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7124 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7125 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7126 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7127 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7128 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7131 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7132 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7133 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7134 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7135 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7136 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7137 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7139 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7140 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7141 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7145 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7146 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7147 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7148 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7151 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7152 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7153 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7154 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7155 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7159 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7160 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7161 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7162 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7163 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7165 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7166 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7167 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7169 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7170 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7172 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7173 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7174 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7175 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7176 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7179 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7180 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7181 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7182 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7183 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7184 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7185 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7188 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7190 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7191 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7194 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7195 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7197 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7198 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7201 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7202 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7203 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7204 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7205 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7207 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7208 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7209 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7210 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7211 no way to reconfigure them.
7212 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7213 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7214 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7215 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7216 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7217 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7219 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7220 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7221 recognized by the users.
7222 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7224 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7225 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7226 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7227 already masked variable.
7228 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7230 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7231 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7233 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7234 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7235 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7236 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7238 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7239 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7240 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7242 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7243 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7244 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7245 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7246 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7247 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7248 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7249 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7253 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7254 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7255 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7257 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7258 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7262 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7263 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7265 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7266 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7267 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7268 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7271 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7274 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7275 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7277 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7280 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7281 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7284 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7285 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7288 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7289 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7290 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7291 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7292 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7293 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7294 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7297 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7298 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7300 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7301 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7302 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7303 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7304 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7306 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7307 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7308 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7311 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7312 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7316 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7317 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7318 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7320 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7321 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7322 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7326 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7327 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7328 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7329 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7332 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7333 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7334 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7335 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7338 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7339 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7340 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7341 so it wasn't spotted.
7342 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7344 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7345 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7346 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7347 vectors if you have them.
7350 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7351 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7354 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7355 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7356 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7357 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7359 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7360 it will update them.
7363 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7364 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7365 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7366 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7367 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7368 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7369 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7372 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7373 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7374 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7375 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7376 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7377 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7378 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7379 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7380 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7381 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7383 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7384 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7385 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7386 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7387 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7390 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7394 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7395 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7397 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7398 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7400 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7401 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7404 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7405 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7407 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7408 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7410 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7413 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7417 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7418 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7419 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7420 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7422 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7425 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7428 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7431 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7432 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7435 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7436 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7440 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7441 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7444 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7445 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7446 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7449 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7450 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7451 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7452 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7453 properly to be processed.
7456 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7457 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7458 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7461 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7462 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7464 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7465 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7466 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7467 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7468 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7469 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7470 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7471 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7472 or delete all the .err files.
7475 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7476 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7477 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7478 to regenerate it if needed.
7479 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7480 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7482 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7483 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7485 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7486 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7487 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7488 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7489 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7492 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7493 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7495 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7496 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7498 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7499 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7500 error, but didn't set one).
7501 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7503 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7506 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7507 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7510 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7511 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7513 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7514 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7515 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7516 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7517 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7518 OID is not part of the table.
7521 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7522 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7525 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7528 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7529 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7533 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7534 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7536 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7538 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7540 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7541 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7543 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7544 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7546 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7547 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7549 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7550 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7553 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7554 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7557 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7558 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7560 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7561 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7563 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7564 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7566 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7567 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7569 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7570 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7571 unused in the certificate verification process.
7572 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7574 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7575 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7578 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7579 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7580 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7582 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7583 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7584 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7585 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7586 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7588 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7589 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7592 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7595 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7598 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7599 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7601 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7604 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7607 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7610 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7611 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7612 other error libraries.
7615 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7618 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7619 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7623 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7624 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7625 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7626 the new set of documenation files.
7627 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7629 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7630 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7631 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7632 number of arguments.
7633 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7635 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7638 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7639 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7640 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7642 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7645 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7649 unixware-2.0-pentium
7653 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7654 before they are needed.
7657 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7661 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7663 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7664 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7665 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7667 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7670 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7671 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7674 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7675 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7676 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7678 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7679 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7680 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7682 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7683 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7685 *) Updated the README file.
7686 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7688 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7689 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7690 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7692 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7693 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7696 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7697 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7698 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7699 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7700 o removed obsolete TODO file
7701 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7702 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7704 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7705 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7706 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7707 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7708 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7709 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7710 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7712 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7715 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7716 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7717 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7719 [The OpenSSL Project]
7722 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7724 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7727 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7730 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7731 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7734 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7735 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7739 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7741 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7743 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7746 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7749 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7752 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7755 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7758 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7761 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7764 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7767 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7770 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7773 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7776 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7779 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7782 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7785 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7788 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7791 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7794 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7795 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7796 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7799 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7800 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7803 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7806 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7809 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7810 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7813 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7816 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7819 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7820 bytes sent in the client random.
