5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
8 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
11 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
12 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
13 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
14 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
16 *) Add ECDH engine support.
17 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
19 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
20 TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
21 TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
22 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
24 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
25 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
28 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
29 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
30 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
33 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
34 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
36 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
37 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
39 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
40 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
47 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
48 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
49 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
50 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
51 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
52 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
54 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
55 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
58 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
59 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
60 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
61 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
62 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
63 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
64 various internal method names.)
66 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
67 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
69 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
70 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
72 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
73 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
75 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
76 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
77 methods are undefined.
79 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
80 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
82 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
83 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
84 length of the modulus.
86 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
87 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
89 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
90 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
92 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
93 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
95 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
96 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
97 used) in the following functions [macros]:
100 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
101 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
102 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
103 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
105 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
106 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
107 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
108 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
110 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
111 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
113 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
114 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
115 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
116 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
117 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
119 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
120 This applies to the following functions:
125 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
126 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
129 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
133 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
138 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
140 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
141 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
142 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
143 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
144 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
146 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
147 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
149 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
150 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
151 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
153 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
154 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
156 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
157 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
158 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
159 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
160 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
162 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
164 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
165 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
166 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
167 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
168 These control ASN1 encoding details:
169 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
170 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
171 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
172 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
173 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
174 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
175 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
177 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
181 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
182 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
183 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
185 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
186 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
187 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
188 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
195 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
196 EC_POINT_oct2point().
197 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
199 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
200 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
201 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
203 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
204 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
205 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
206 adding different types of curves.
207 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
209 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
210 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
211 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
214 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
215 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
217 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
218 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
219 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
220 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
222 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
224 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
225 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
227 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
228 library. Most notably,
229 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
230 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
231 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
232 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
233 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
234 extracted before the specific public key;
235 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
236 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
238 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
239 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
241 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
242 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
243 EC_get_builtin_curves().
244 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
248 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
250 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
252 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
253 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
255 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
256 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
258 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
261 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
262 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
263 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
264 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
266 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
267 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
268 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
270 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
271 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
272 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
273 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
275 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
276 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
277 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
280 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
281 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
282 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
283 mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
284 cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
285 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
286 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
287 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
290 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
291 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
292 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
295 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
296 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
297 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
298 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
299 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
301 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
302 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
304 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
305 error in AES-CFB decryption.
308 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
309 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
310 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
311 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
312 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
313 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
316 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
317 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
318 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
321 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
322 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
325 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
326 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
327 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
328 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
329 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
330 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
331 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
334 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
335 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
336 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
337 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
338 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
339 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
342 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
343 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
344 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
345 declaration has been changed from
348 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
349 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
350 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
351 has been changed into
352 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
354 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
355 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
356 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
358 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
359 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
361 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
362 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
363 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
364 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
365 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
366 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
367 always load it have also been added.
370 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
371 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
372 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
374 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
376 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
377 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
378 because it couldn't be used for anything.
380 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
381 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
382 command line option can be used to specify an
386 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
387 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
390 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
391 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
392 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
395 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
396 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
397 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
398 to work with the new engine framework.
399 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
401 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
402 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
403 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
404 to work with the new engine framework.
407 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
408 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
409 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
411 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
412 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
414 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
415 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
416 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
417 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
419 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
421 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
422 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
424 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
425 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
427 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
428 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
429 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
434 ERR_peek_last_error_line
435 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
439 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
440 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
441 still in the error queue.
442 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
444 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
446 default_algorithms = ALL
447 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
450 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
453 *) New experimental application configuration code.
456 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
457 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
458 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
459 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
461 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
462 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
464 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
465 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
467 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
468 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
471 *) New functions/macros
473 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
474 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
475 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
476 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
478 to request calling a callback function
480 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
481 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
483 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
484 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
485 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
486 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
487 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
488 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
489 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
490 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
491 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
492 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
494 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
495 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
498 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
499 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
500 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
501 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
502 the configuration scripts.
504 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
505 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
506 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
508 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
509 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
511 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
512 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
513 when reusing an existing buffer.
516 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
517 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
520 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
521 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
524 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
525 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
526 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
528 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
530 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
531 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
532 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
533 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
534 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
535 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
538 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
539 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
540 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
541 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
543 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
544 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
545 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
546 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
548 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
549 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
552 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
553 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
554 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
555 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
556 default), and then completely removed.
559 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
560 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
561 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
562 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
563 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
564 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
565 particular extension is supported.
568 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
569 to retain compatibility with existing code.
572 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
573 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
574 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
575 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
576 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
577 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
578 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
579 requires the destination to be valid.
581 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
582 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
585 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
586 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
587 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
590 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
591 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
593 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
594 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
595 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
596 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
597 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
598 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
599 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
600 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
601 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
602 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
603 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
604 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
605 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
606 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
607 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
608 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
609 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
610 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
611 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
615 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
618 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
619 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
620 become part of libeay.num as well.
623 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
624 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
625 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
626 false once a handshake has been completed.
627 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
628 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
629 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
630 client has followed the request.)
633 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
634 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
635 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
636 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
638 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
639 more bits available for options that should not be part of
640 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
643 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
646 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
647 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
648 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
651 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
652 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
655 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
656 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
657 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
658 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
661 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
662 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
663 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
664 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
665 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
666 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
669 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
670 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
671 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
672 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
673 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
674 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
675 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
676 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
679 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
680 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
683 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
686 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
687 md_data void pointer.
690 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
691 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
692 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
693 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
694 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
695 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
698 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
699 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
700 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
701 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
702 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
703 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
704 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
705 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
706 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
707 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
708 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
709 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
710 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
711 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
712 rather than letting it slide.
714 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
715 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
716 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
719 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
720 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
721 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
722 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
723 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
724 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
725 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
726 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
727 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
730 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
731 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
732 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
733 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
734 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
736 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
739 *) Add EVP test program.
742 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
745 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
746 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
747 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
748 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
749 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
752 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
753 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
754 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
755 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
756 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
757 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
758 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
760 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
761 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
762 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
767 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
768 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
769 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
770 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
771 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
775 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
776 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
777 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
778 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
783 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
784 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
786 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
789 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
790 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
791 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
792 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
793 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
794 functions prevents this.
797 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
800 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
804 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
805 revocation information is handled using the text based index
806 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
807 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
808 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
811 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
814 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
815 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
816 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
817 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
819 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
820 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
822 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
823 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
824 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
827 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
828 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
829 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
830 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
833 *) Speed up EVP routines.
836 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

851 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
852 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
854 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
855 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
856 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
857 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
858 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
859 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
862 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
863 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
866 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
867 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
868 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
869 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
871 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
872 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
873 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
874 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
875 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
876 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
880 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
881 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
882 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
883 and interrupts/cancellations.
886 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
887 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
890 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
891 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
892 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
894 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
895 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
899 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
900 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
901 than this minimum value is recommended.
904 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
905 that are easily reachable.
908 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
909 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
911 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
913 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
914 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
915 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
916 needed for static libraries under Win32.
919 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
920 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
921 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
924 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
925 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
926 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
927 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
928 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
929 internally such as S/MIME.
931 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
932 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
933 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
935 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
939 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
940 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
941 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
942 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
944 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
946 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
948 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
949 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
950 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
954 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
955 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
956 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
957 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
958 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
959 a window system and the like.
962 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
963 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
966 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
967 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
968 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
969 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
970 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
971 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
972 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
973 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
974 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
978 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
979 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
983 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
984 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
985 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
986 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
987 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
988 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
989 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
990 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
993 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
994 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
995 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
996 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
997 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
998 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
999 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1000 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1001 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1002 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1003 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1004 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1005 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1006 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1007 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1008 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1009 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1012 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1013 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1014 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1015 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1016 internal engine_int.h header.
1019 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1020 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1021 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1022 modify their own ones).
1025 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1026 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1027 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1028 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1029 later on via ctrl() commands.
1030 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1031 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1032 structural references.
1033 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1034 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1035 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1036 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1037 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1038 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1039 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1040 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1041 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1042 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1043 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1044 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1047 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1048 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1049 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1050 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1051 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1052 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1053 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1054 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1057 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1058 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1061 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1062 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1065 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1066 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1067 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1068 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1069 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1070 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1071 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1074 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1075 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1076 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1077 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1078 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1080 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1081 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1085 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1087 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1088 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1089 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1091 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1092 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1094 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1095 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1096 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1098 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1099 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1101 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1102 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1104 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1106 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1107 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1108 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1111 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1112 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1115 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1116 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1117 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1118 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1119 is 40 of more characters long.
1122 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1123 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1127 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1128 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1131 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1132 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1136 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1138 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1139 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1142 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1144 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1145 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1146 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1148 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1149 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1151 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1154 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1158 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1159 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1160 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1161 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1163 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1165 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1166 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1168 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1169 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1170 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1171 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1172 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1173 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1175 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1176 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1178 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1179 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1181 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1182 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1184 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1185 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1186 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1187 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1189 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1190 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1192 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1193 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1195 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1196 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1197 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1198 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1199 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1202 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1203 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1204 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1205 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1208 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1209 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1210 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1214 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1215 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1216 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1217 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1218 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1219 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1220 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1221 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1225 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1226 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1229 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1230 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1231 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1232 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1235 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1236 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1237 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1238 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1239 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1240 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1241 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1242 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1243 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1244 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1247 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1248 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1249 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1250 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1251 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1252 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1253 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1254 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1256 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1257 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1258 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1259 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1262 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1263 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1264 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1265 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1267 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1268 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1269 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1270 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1271 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1275 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1276 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1277 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1278 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1282 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1283 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1284 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1287 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1288 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1289 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1290 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1291 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1294 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1297 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1298 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1299 option to ocsp utility.
1302 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1303 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1304 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1305 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1306 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1307 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1308 the request is nonce-less.
1311 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1312 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1313 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1316 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1317 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1318 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1321 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1322 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1323 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1324 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1325 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1328 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1329 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1333 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1334 additional certificates supplied.
1337 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1338 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1342 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1343 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1346 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1347 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1348 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1349 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1350 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1351 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1352 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1353 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1354 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1356 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1357 request to response.
1360 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1361 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1362 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1363 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1364 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1365 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1366 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1367 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1368 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1369 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1370 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1373 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1374 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1375 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1376 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1379 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1380 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1382 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1383 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1384 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1387 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1388 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1389 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1390 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1391 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1393 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1394 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1395 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1398 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1399 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1400 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1401 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1402 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1403 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1404 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1405 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1407 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1408 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1409 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1410 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1411 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1412 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1415 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1416 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1417 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1418 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1419 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1420 printout format cleaned up.
1423 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1424 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1425 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1426 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1427 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1428 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1429 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1430 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1433 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1434 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1435 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1436 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1437 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1438 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1439 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1440 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1443 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1444 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1445 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1446 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1448 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1450 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1451 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1452 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1453 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1456 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1457 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1458 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1459 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1461 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1463 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1464 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1465 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1466 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1468 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1469 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1471 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1472 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1473 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1476 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1477 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1478 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1481 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1482 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1483 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1484 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1485 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1486 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1487 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1488 functions are provided:
1490 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1491 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1492 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1493 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1495 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1496 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1497 extended allocation function is enabled.
1498 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1499 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1500 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1502 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1503 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1504 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1505 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1506 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1509 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1510 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1511 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1513 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1514 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1515 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1518 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1519 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1520 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1521 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1522 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1523 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1524 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1525 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1526 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1529 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1530 provide utility functions which an application needing
1531 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1532 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1533 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1535 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1536 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1537 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1538 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1539 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1540 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1541 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1542 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1543 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1545 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1546 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1547 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1548 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1551 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1552 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1553 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1554 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1555 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1556 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1557 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1558 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1559 will be added elsewhere.
1562 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1563 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1564 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1565 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1568 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1569 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1570 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1571 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1572 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1573 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1574 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1575 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1576 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1577 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1578 to produce the required SET OF.
1581 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1582 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1583 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1586 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1587 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1588 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1589 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1590 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1591 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1594 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1595 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1596 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1599 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1600 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1601 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1604 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1605 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1606 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1607 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1608 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1611 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1612 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1615 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1616 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1617 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1618 certifcates and CRLs.
1621 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1622 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1623 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1626 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1627 entries for variables.
1630 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1631 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1632 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1633 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1636 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1637 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1638 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1639 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1640 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1641 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1644 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1645 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1647 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1648 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1649 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1652 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1656 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1657 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1658 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1659 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1660 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1661 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1664 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1667 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1668 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1669 for now but they will eventually go away.
1672 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1673 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1674 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1675 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1676 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1677 has also been converted to the new form.
1680 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1681 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1682 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1683 for negative moduli.
1686 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1687 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1690 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1694 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1695 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1696 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1697 type-specific callbacks.
1700 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1702 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1703 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1705 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1706 in sections depending on the subject.
1709 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1713 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1714 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1715 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1716 be handled deterministically).
1717 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1719 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1720 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1721 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1724 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1727 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1728 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1729 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1730 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1731 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1734 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1735 sign of the number in question.
1737 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1739 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1740 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1741 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1742 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1743 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1746 *) New function BN_swap.
1749 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1750 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1751 results on negative inputs.
1754 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1755 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1756 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1759 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1760 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1761 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1762 and add new functions:
1771 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1775 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1777 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1778 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1780 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1781 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1782 be reduced modulo m.
1783 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1785 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1786 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1787 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1788 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1789 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1790 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1794 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1795 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1796 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1797 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1798 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1800 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1801 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1802 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1806 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1809 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1810 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1813 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1814 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1815 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1816 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1820 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1823 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1826 *) Add the following functions:
1828 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1830 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1832 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1834 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1835 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1836 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1837 libraries unless it's really needed.
1839 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1840 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1841 declarations (they differed!).
1844 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1847 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1850 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1853 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1854 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1857 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1858 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1859 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1861 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1862 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1865 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1868 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1871 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1874 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1875 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1876 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1878 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1879 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1880 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1881 different shared library filenames on each system.
1884 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1887 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1888 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1889 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1891 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1894 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1895 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1896 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1897 binary backward compatibility.
1898 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1899 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1900 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1904 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1905 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1906 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1907 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1911 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1914 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1915 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1916 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1917 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1921 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1924 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [xx XXX xxxx]
1926 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
1927 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
1930 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
1931 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
1932 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
1933 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
1934 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
1935 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
1936 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
1937 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
1939 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
1940 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
1941 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
1942 (see [openssl.org #212]).
1943 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1945 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
1946 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
1949 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
1951 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
1952 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
1953 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
1955 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
1957 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
1958 and get fix the header length calculation.
1959 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
1960 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
1963 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1964 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1965 assertions could call abort()).
1966 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1968 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1970 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1971 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1972 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1974 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1976 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1977 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1978 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1981 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1985 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1986 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1987 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1989 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1990 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1991 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1992 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1993 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1997 *) Changes in security patch:
1999 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2000 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2001 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2004 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2005 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2006 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2007 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2008 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2010 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2012 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2014 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2015 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2016 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2018 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2019 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2021 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2023 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2024 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2025 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2027 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2028 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2029 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2031 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2033 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2034 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2035 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2037 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2038 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2040 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2041 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2042 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2043 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2044 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2045 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2048 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2049 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2050 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2051 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2054 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2057 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2058 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2059 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2060 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2061 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2062 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2064 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2065 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2066 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2067 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2068 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2071 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2072 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2073 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2074 BN_generate_prime().)
2076 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2077 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2078 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2082 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2083 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2086 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2087 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2088 when using non-blocking I/O.
2089 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2091 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2092 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2094 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2095 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2098 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2099 configuration for the versions before that.
2100 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2102 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2103 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2104 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2105 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2108 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2109 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2110 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2113 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2117 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2118 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2120 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2121 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2122 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2124 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2125 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2126 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2127 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2128 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2129 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2130 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2133 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2134 using a local variable.
2135 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2137 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2138 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2139 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2141 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2144 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2145 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2147 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2148 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2149 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2151 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2153 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2154 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2155 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2156 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2159 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2163 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2164 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2165 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2166 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2167 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2169 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2170 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2171 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2173 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2174 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2175 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2177 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2178 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2179 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2180 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2182 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2183 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2184 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2186 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2188 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2189 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2191 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2193 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2194 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2195 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2196 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2198 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2199 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2200 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2201 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2203 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2204 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2206 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2207 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2208 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2211 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2212 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2213 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2215 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2217 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2218 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2219 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2220 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2221 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2222 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2223 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2226 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2227 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2228 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2229 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2231 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2232 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2233 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2234 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2235 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2236 the client will at least see that alert.
2239 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2243 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2244 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2245 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2247 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2248 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2249 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2250 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2253 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2254 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2255 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2257 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2258 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2259 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2260 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2261 may leak via logfiles.)
2263 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2264 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2265 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2266 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2270 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2271 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2274 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2275 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2276 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2277 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2278 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2281 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2282 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2284 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2285 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2286 followed by modular reduction.
2287 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2289 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2290 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2293 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2294 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2295 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2296 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2299 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2302 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2303 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2306 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2307 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2308 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2309 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2310 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2311 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2313 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2315 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2316 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2317 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2318 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2319 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2321 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2324 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2325 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2326 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2327 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2328 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2329 to allow the necessary settings.
2332 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2333 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2334 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2335 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2338 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2339 dh->length and always used
2341 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2343 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2344 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2345 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2346 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2347 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2352 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2354 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2360 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2361 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2362 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2363 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2365 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2366 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2367 always reject numbers >= n.
2370 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2371 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2372 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2373 variable) is not atomic.
2376 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2377 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2378 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2379 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2381 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2382 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2384 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2386 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2388 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2391 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2393 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2394 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2395 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2396 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2397 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2398 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2399 to traverse all of 'state'.
2401 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2402 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2403 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2405 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2406 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2408 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2409 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2410 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2411 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2412 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2413 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2414 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2415 further strengthens the PRNG.
2418 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2421 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2422 an error message in this case.
2425 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2428 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2429 positive and less than q.
2432 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2433 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2435 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2437 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2438 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2442 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2444 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2445 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2446 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2447 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2448 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2449 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2450 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2453 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2454 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2455 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2456 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2458 Both problems are now fixed.
2461 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2462 (previously it was 1024).
2465 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2466 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2469 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2472 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2473 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2474 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2477 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2478 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2479 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2480 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2481 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2482 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2483 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2484 environment variables.
2486 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2487 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2488 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2491 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2492 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2493 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2494 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2495 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2496 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2499 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2503 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2505 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2506 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2508 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2509 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2510 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2511 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2515 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2516 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2517 amount of data available.
2518 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2519 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2521 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2522 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2523 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2524 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2527 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2528 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2532 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2533 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2534 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2535 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2538 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2541 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2544 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2545 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2547 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2549 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2550 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2551 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2552 (but broken) behaviour.
2555 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2557 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2559 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2560 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2563 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2567 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2568 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2570 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2573 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2574 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2575 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2577 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2578 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2579 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2582 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2583 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2586 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2587 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2589 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2591 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2593 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2594 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2595 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2596 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2599 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2602 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2603 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2604 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2606 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2609 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2611 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2612 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2613 but the code is actually correct.
2616 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2617 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2618 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2619 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2620 and leaves the highest bit random.
2621 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2623 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2624 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2625 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2626 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2627 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2628 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2629 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2632 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2635 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2636 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2639 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2640 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2641 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2642 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2646 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2647 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2648 and break the signature.
2650 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2652 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2656 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2657 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2658 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2659 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2660 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2663 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2664 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2666 *) ./config script fixes.
2667 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2669 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2672 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2673 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2674 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2675 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2676 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2678 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2679 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2682 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2683 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2686 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2687 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2688 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2689 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2691 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2692 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2694 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2695 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2696 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2697 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2698 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2700 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2703 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2706 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2709 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2712 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2713 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2716 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2717 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2718 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2719 result of the server certificate verification.)
2722 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2723 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2724 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2728 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2729 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2730 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2731 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2732 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2733 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2734 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2735 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2738 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2739 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2740 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2741 happening the other way round.
2744 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2745 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2748 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2749 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2750 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2751 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2754 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2755 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2757 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2759 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2760 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2761 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2764 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2766 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2768 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2772 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2774 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2775 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2776 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2777 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2778 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2780 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2781 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2785 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2788 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2790 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2791 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2792 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2793 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2794 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2795 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2796 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2797 by the Finished messages.
2800 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2801 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2803 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2804 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2805 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2806 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2807 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2811 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2812 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2813 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2814 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2815 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2816 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2817 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2818 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2819 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2823 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2824 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2825 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2826 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2828 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2829 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2830 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2831 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2832 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2835 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2836 been tested well enough.
2839 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2840 it can return incorrect results.
2841 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2842 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2845 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2846 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2847 include zero length content when signing messages.
2850 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2851 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2854 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2857 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2861 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2862 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2863 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2864 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2865 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2866 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2869 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2870 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2872 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2873 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2875 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2876 random number < q in the DSA library.
2879 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2880 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2881 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2882 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2883 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2884 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2885 just makes things more complicated.)
2888 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2892 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2893 work better on such systems.
2894 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2896 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2897 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2898 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2901 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2902 if there was more than one signature.
2903 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2905 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2906 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2907 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2908 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2911 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2912 rather than always using the current time.
2915 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2916 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2917 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2918 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2919 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2920 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2922 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2923 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2925 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2927 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2928 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2929 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2930 the same hash value.
2932 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2933 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2934 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2935 with X509_STORE internally.
2937 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2938 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2940 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2941 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2942 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2943 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2944 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2945 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2946 entirely (maybe later...).
2948 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2950 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2951 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2952 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2953 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2954 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2955 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2956 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2957 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2959 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2960 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2962 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2963 to customise the verify behaviour.
2966 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2967 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2970 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2971 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2972 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2973 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2974 request is improperly encoded.
2977 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2978 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2981 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2982 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2984 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2985 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2989 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2990 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2991 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2994 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2995 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2996 BIO/fp routines also added.
2999 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3000 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3002 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3003 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3004 demos/state_machine.
3007 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3008 generation and verification.
3011 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3012 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3013 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3014 encode and decode it manually.
3017 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3019 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3021 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3022 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3023 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3024 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3026 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3027 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3028 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3029 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3030 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3033 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3036 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3037 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3038 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3040 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3041 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3042 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3043 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3044 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3045 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3046 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3047 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3049 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3050 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3052 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3054 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3055 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3056 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3060 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3061 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3062 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3063 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3067 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3069 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3072 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3073 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3074 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3075 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3076 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3077 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3078 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3079 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3080 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3081 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3082 short or long names are found.
3085 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3086 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3088 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3089 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3090 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3091 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3093 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3094 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3095 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3096 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3099 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3100 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3101 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3104 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3105 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3106 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3107 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3108 to allow the various flags to be set.
3111 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3112 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3113 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3114 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3115 dates to be checked.
3118 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3119 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3120 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3123 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3124 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3125 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3128 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3129 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3132 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3133 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3134 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3135 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3136 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3137 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3140 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3141 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3145 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3149 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3150 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3151 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3152 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3153 form signing output easier to verify.
3156 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3159 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3160 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3161 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3162 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3163 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3164 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3165 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3166 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3167 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3168 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3171 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3173 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3174 the syntax given in objects.README.
3175 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3177 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3180 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3181 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3182 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3183 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3184 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3185 consistent name changes.
3188 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3191 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3192 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3193 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3194 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3197 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3198 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3199 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3203 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3204 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3205 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3206 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3209 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3210 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3211 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3212 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3213 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3214 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3215 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3216 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3217 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3218 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3219 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3222 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3223 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3224 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3225 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3226 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3227 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3228 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3229 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3230 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3231 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3234 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3235 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3236 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3237 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3239 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3240 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3241 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3242 omit any duplicate addresses.
3245 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3246 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3249 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3250 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3251 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3252 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3253 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3256 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3258 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3259 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3260 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3261 Free => OPENSSL_free
3264 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3265 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3268 *) CygWin32 support.
3269 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3271 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3272 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3273 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3274 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3275 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3279 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3280 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3281 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3282 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3283 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3284 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3285 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3288 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3289 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3290 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3291 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3292 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3293 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3294 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3295 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3296 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3297 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3298 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3301 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3302 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3303 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3304 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3305 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3307 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3308 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3309 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3310 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3311 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3313 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3316 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3317 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3318 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3319 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3321 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3323 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3326 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3327 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3328 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3331 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3332 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3333 any installed hardware versions can.
3336 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3337 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3338 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3342 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3343 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3344 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3345 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3346 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3348 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3349 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3352 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3353 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3356 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3357 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3358 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3362 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3365 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3366 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3367 but no ssl client purpose.
3368 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3370 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3371 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3372 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3373 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3374 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3375 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3376 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3377 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3378 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3379 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3380 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3383 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3384 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3385 be obtained from the error queue.
3388 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3389 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3390 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3391 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3394 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3397 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3398 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3399 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3400 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3401 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3404 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3405 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3406 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3407 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3408 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3411 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3412 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3413 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3415 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3417 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3418 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3419 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3420 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3421 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3422 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3423 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3424 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3425 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3426 or "the configuration storage API"...
3428 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3430 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3431 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3433 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3435 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3437 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3438 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3439 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3440 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3441 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3442 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3443 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3445 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3446 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3449 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3450 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3451 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3452 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3455 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3456 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3457 them in a portable way.
3458 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3460 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3462 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3464 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3465 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3467 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3468 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3469 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3472 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3473 was larger than the MD block size.
3474 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3476 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3477 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3478 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3479 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3483 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3484 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3485 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3487 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3489 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3491 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3492 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3493 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3494 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3495 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3496 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3498 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3499 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3501 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3502 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3505 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3508 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3509 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3511 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3512 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3513 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3514 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3517 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3518 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3519 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3520 does not suppress any output.
3523 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3524 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3525 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3526 with all the associated security issues.
3528 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3529 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3530 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3531 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3532 use the value in the default purpose.
3535 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3536 and fix a memory leak.
3539 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3540 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3541 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3542 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3545 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3546 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3547 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3548 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3551 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3552 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3553 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3556 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3557 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3560 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3561 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3565 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3566 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3569 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3570 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3571 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3574 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3575 number generation fails.
3578 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3581 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3582 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3584 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3587 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3588 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3590 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3591 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3593 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3595 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3596 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3599 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3600 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3602 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3603 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3606 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3607 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3608 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3609 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3610 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3611 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3613 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3614 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3615 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3619 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3620 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3621 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3622 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3623 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3624 counter, some don't.)
3625 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3626 counters or duplicate objects.
3629 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3630 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3633 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3634 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3635 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3637 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3638 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3639 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3643 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3644 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3647 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3648 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3649 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3653 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3654 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3655 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3658 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3659 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3660 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3661 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3662 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3663 should work without changes.
3666 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3667 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3668 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3669 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3670 must be defined. E.g.,
3671 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3672 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3673 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3674 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3676 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3680 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3681 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3682 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3685 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3686 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3687 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3688 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3691 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3692 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3693 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3694 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3695 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3696 is prompted for as usual.
3699 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3700 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3701 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3702 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3704 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3705 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3706 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3707 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3710 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3713 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3717 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3720 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3723 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3727 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3730 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3733 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3734 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3737 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3738 options to produce them.
3741 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3742 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3745 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3749 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3750 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3751 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3752 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3753 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3754 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3755 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3758 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3761 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3762 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3763 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3766 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3767 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3769 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3770 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3773 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3774 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3775 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3779 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3780 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3782 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3783 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3784 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3785 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3786 generation becomes much faster.
3788 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3789 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3790 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3791 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3792 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3793 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3794 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3795 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3796 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3797 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3800 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3801 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3802 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3803 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3804 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3805 trial division stage.
3808 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3812 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3815 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3818 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3819 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3820 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3824 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3825 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3826 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3829 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3830 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3831 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3832 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3834 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3835 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3838 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3841 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3842 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3843 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3844 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3847 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3848 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3849 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3852 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3853 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3854 (instead of parameters) in future.
3857 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3858 when a new cipher list is set.
3861 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3862 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3865 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3866 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3867 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3869 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3870 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3871 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3872 an error is flagged.
3874 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3875 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3876 the readability was also increased :-)
3877 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3879 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3880 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3881 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3882 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3886 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3887 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3890 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3891 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3892 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3893 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3896 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3897 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3898 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3899 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3900 because they handle more complex structures.)
3903 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3904 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3905 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3906 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3908 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3909 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3910 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3911 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3912 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3913 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3914 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3917 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3918 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3919 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3920 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3921 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3924 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3927 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3928 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3929 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3930 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3931 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3934 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3938 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3939 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3940 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3941 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3944 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3947 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3948 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3949 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3950 international characters are used.
3952 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3953 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3954 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3958 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3959 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3960 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3963 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3964 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3965 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3966 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3967 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3968 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3970 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3971 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3972 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3973 be handled by the string table functions.
3975 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3976 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3977 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3978 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3979 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3983 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3984 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3985 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3986 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3987 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3989 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3990 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3991 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3992 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3995 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3996 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3997 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3998 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3999 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4003 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4004 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4005 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4006 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4007 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4008 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4009 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4010 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4012 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4013 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4014 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4017 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4018 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4019 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4020 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4021 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4022 support to pkcs8 application.
4025 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4026 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4027 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4028 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4029 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4030 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4033 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4034 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4035 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4036 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4037 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4041 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4042 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4043 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4044 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4048 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4049 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4050 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4051 and any application specific purposes.
4053 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4054 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4055 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4056 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4057 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4058 if the certificate is self signed.
4061 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4062 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4065 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4066 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4067 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4068 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4071 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4072 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4073 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4074 Update documentation.
4077 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4078 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4079 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4080 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4081 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4084 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4086 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4088 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4089 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4090 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4091 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4092 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4093 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4094 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4095 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4096 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4097 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4099 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4101 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4102 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4103 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4104 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4105 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4107 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4108 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4109 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4110 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4111 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4112 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4113 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4114 request additional information:
4115 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4116 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4118 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4119 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4120 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4123 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4124 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4127 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4130 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4131 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4133 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4134 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4135 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4139 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4140 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4141 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4143 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4144 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4145 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4146 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4147 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4148 included in OpenSSL.
4151 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4152 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4153 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4154 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4155 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4156 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4159 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4163 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4164 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4165 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4166 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4167 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4171 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4175 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4176 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4177 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4178 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4179 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4180 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4181 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4182 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4183 be maintained manually.
4185 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4186 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4187 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4188 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4189 work because people forget to call this function]
4190 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4191 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4192 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4195 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4196 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4197 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4198 should be discouraged from doing it.
4201 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4202 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4203 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4204 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4205 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4206 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4209 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4210 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4211 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4213 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4214 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4215 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4217 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4218 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4219 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4220 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4221 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4222 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4224 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4225 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4226 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4228 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4229 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4232 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4233 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4234 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4235 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4238 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4241 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4242 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4243 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4244 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4245 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4246 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4247 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4248 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4249 keys so we should be OK.
4251 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4252 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4253 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4254 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4255 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4256 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4257 stay in the name of compatibility.
4259 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4260 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4261 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4263 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4264 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4265 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4266 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4267 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4268 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4272 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4273 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4274 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4275 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4276 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4277 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4278 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4279 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4280 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4281 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4282 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4283 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4284 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4287 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4290 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4291 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4292 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4293 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4294 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4295 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4296 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4297 openssl verify ss.pem
4298 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4299 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4303 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4304 (and add it to external session representation).
4305 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4306 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4307 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4308 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4309 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4310 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4312 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4314 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4315 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4316 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4317 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4319 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4320 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4321 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4324 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4325 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4326 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4330 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4331 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4332 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4334 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4335 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4336 certificate auxiliary information.
4339 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4343 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4344 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4345 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4346 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4347 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4348 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4349 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4352 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4353 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4356 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4357 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4358 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4359 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4362 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4365 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4366 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4369 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4370 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4371 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4372 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4373 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4374 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4375 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4376 using the new 'x509' options.
4378 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4379 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4380 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4381 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4385 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4386 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4387 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4388 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4389 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4392 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4393 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4394 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4395 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4396 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4397 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4398 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4399 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4400 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4401 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4404 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4405 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4406 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4407 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4408 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4409 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4410 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4413 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4414 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4415 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4416 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4417 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4418 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4419 openssl.cnf for more info.
4422 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4423 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4424 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4425 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4426 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4427 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4428 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4429 md should be large enough anyway.
4432 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4433 for handling the random seed file.
4435 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4437 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4440 x509 (when signing).
4441 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4442 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4443 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4445 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4446 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4447 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4448 that support '-rand'.
4451 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4452 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4455 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4456 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4459 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4460 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4461 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4462 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4466 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4467 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4468 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4469 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4472 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4473 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4474 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4475 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4476 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4477 print out all the purposes.
4480 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4484 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4485 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4486 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4487 single function call.
4490 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4491 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4494 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4495 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4496 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4499 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4500 when producing the local key id.
4501 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4503 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4504 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4505 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4509 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4510 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4511 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4512 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4515 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4516 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4517 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4518 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4520 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4521 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4522 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4523 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4525 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4526 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4527 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4528 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4529 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4530 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4531 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4532 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4533 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4534 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4535 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4536 trivial: move one line.
4537 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4539 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4540 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4541 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4542 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4543 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4544 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4545 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4546 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4547 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4548 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4549 with an event loop for example.
4552 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4553 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4554 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4555 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4556 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4557 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4558 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4559 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4560 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4563 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4564 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4565 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4566 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4567 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4568 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4571 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4572 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4573 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4574 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4576 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4577 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4578 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4579 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4583 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4584 (still largely untested)
4587 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4588 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4591 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4592 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4595 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4596 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4597 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4600 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4601 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4602 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4603 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4604 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4607 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4610 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4611 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4612 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4613 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4614 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4618 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4619 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4622 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4625 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4626 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4627 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4628 are otherwise ignored at present.
4631 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4632 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4633 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4634 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4635 copied until the next read.
4638 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4639 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4640 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4643 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4644 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4645 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4646 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4647 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4648 associated functions.
4651 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4652 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4653 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4654 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4655 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4656 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4657 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4658 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4659 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4663 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4664 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4665 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4666 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4669 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4670 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4671 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4672 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4673 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4677 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4678 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4682 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4683 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4684 extensions to be obtained and added.
4687 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4688 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4691 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4693 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4696 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4697 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4699 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4703 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4704 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4705 DH parameters contain its length).
4707 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4708 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4709 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4710 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4711 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4712 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4713 utter importance to use
4714 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4716 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4717 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4718 attacks may become possible!
4721 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4724 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4725 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4728 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4729 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4730 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4734 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4735 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4736 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4737 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4738 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4739 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4740 private key operations.
4743 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4746 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4747 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4749 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4750 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4751 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4752 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4753 the password callback is called.
4754 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4756 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4758 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4759 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4760 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4761 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4762 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4763 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4766 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4767 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4768 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4769 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4770 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4771 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4774 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4777 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4778 delete an unused file.
4781 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4782 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4783 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4784 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4787 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4788 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4789 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4793 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4794 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4795 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4797 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4798 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4799 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4800 comparison" warnings.
4801 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4804 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4805 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4806 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4809 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4810 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4812 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4813 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4815 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4816 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4817 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4819 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4820 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4821 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4822 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4823 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4825 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4827 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4828 The interface is as follows:
4829 Applications can use
4830 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4831 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4832 "off" is now the default.
4833 The library internally uses
4834 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4835 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4836 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4838 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4839 even the default) are now avoided.
4841 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4842 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4843 than just having a counter.
4845 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4847 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4851 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4852 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4853 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4854 Initial "mode" flags are:
4856 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4857 a single record has been written.
4858 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4859 retries use the same buffer location.
4860 (But all of the contents must be
4864 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4867 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4868 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4870 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4871 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4872 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4875 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4876 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4878 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4880 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4881 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4882 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4883 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4885 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4886 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4888 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4889 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4890 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4891 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4892 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4893 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4896 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4897 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4898 necessary function names.
4901 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4902 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4903 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4904 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4907 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4908 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4909 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4912 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4913 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4914 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4915 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4917 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4921 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4922 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4923 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4926 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4927 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4931 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4932 for the encoded length.
4933 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4935 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4938 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4939 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4940 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4941 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4944 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4945 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4948 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4949 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4950 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4954 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4955 to use the new extension code.
4958 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4959 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4960 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4964 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4965 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4966 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4970 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4973 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4974 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4975 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4978 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4979 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4980 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4981 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4984 *) DES library cleanups.
4987 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4988 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4989 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4990 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4991 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4995 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4996 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4999 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5000 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5001 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5002 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5003 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5004 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5005 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5006 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5007 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5010 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5011 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5012 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5013 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5014 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5015 value doesn't matter.
5018 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5022 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5023 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5024 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5025 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5027 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5030 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5031 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5032 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5034 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5035 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5037 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5040 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5043 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5046 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5050 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5052 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5054 *) Updated some demos.
5055 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5057 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5060 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5063 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5066 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5067 instead of using a fixed path.
5070 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5073 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5077 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5079 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5080 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5081 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5083 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5084 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5085 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5086 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5087 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5088 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5089 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5090 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5091 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5092 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5095 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5096 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5099 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5100 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5101 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5102 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5103 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5105 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5108 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5109 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5110 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5113 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5116 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5117 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5118 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5119 key elements as negative integers.
5122 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5123 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5126 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5128 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5129 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5130 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5133 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5134 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5135 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5136 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5137 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5140 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5143 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5144 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5145 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5146 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5148 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5149 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5150 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5152 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5153 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5154 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5155 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5156 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5157 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5158 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5159 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5160 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5162 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5163 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5164 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5165 does not influence s as it used to.
5167 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5168 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5169 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5170 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5171 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5172 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5175 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5176 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5177 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5181 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5182 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5183 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5187 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5188 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5189 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5193 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5194 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5197 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5198 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5203 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5204 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5206 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5207 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5209 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5212 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5215 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5216 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5218 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5219 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5220 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5224 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5225 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5226 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5227 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5228 now it really counts the depth.
5231 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5232 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5233 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5234 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5235 didn't match the private key).
5237 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5238 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5239 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5242 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5245 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5249 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5250 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5251 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5254 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5257 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5258 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5259 such as /usr/local/bin.
5262 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5263 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5265 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5268 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5269 extension adding in x509 utility.
5272 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5275 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5279 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5282 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5283 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5284 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5285 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5286 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5287 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5288 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5289 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5290 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5291 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5294 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5297 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5298 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5301 *) Fix some race conditions.
5304 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5305 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5308 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5311 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5312 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5313 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5314 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5316 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5317 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5319 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5320 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5321 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5323 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5324 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5326 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5329 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5330 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5332 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5335 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5336 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5338 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5339 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5342 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5343 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5346 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5347 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5350 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5351 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5354 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5355 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5358 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5359 support typesafe stack.
5362 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5363 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5365 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5366 old X509V3 handling code.
5369 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5372 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5375 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5378 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5379 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5381 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5382 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5383 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5384 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5385 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5388 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5389 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5390 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5391 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5392 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5394 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5395 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5396 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5397 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5399 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5400 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5401 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5402 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5404 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5405 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5406 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5407 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5408 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5409 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5412 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5413 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5416 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5417 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5420 *) Tweaks to Configure
5421 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5423 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5427 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5430 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5431 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5434 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5435 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5436 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5439 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5442 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5443 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5446 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5447 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5448 to library startup routines.
5451 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5452 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5453 codes along the way.
5456 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5457 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5458 objects to objects.h
5461 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5462 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5465 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5466 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5468 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5469 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5470 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5472 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5473 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5474 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5476 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5477 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5478 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5481 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5483 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5484 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5487 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5488 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5489 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5490 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5491 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5493 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5494 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5495 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5497 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5499 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5501 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5503 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5504 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5506 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5507 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5508 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5509 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5511 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5514 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5515 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5516 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5517 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5520 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5521 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5522 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5525 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5526 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5527 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5528 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5529 installed as `perl').
5530 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5532 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5533 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5535 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5536 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5537 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5538 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5539 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5542 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5545 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5546 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5547 is horrible: I feel ill....
5550 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5551 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5552 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5553 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5556 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5557 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5559 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5560 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5561 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5562 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5564 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5565 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5566 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5567 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5568 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5569 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5571 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5573 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5574 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5576 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5577 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5579 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5582 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5583 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5587 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5588 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5589 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5590 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5591 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5592 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5593 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5594 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5595 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5596 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5597 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5599 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5602 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5603 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5604 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5605 for linking it into DSOs.
5606 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5608 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5612 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5613 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5614 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5615 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5616 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5619 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5620 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5621 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5622 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5623 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5624 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5625 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5627 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5628 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5629 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5633 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5634 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5635 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5636 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5639 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5640 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5641 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5642 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5643 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5647 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5648 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5649 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5650 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5651 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5653 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5654 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5655 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5657 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5658 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5660 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5661 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5662 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5663 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5664 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5667 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5668 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5669 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5670 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5671 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5672 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5673 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5676 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5678 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5679 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5682 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5683 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5685 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5686 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5689 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5690 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5691 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5692 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5693 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5695 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5696 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5697 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5698 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5699 no way to reconfigure them.
5700 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5701 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5702 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5703 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5704 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5707 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5708 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5709 recognized by the users.
5710 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5712 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5713 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5714 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5715 already masked variable.
5716 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5718 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5719 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5721 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5722 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5723 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5724 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5726 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5727 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5728 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5730 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5731 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5732 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5733 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5734 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5735 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5736 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5737 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5741 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5742 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5743 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5745 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5746 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5750 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5751 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5753 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5754 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5755 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5756 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5759 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5762 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5763 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5765 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5768 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5769 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5772 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5773 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5776 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5777 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5778 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5779 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5780 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5781 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5782 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5785 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5786 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5788 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5789 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5790 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5791 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5792 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5794 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5795 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5796 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5799 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5800 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5804 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5805 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5806 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5808 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5809 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5810 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5814 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5815 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5816 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5817 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5820 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5821 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5822 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5823 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5826 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5827 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5828 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5829 so it wasn't spotted.
5830 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5832 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5833 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5834 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5835 vectors if you have them.
5838 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5839 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5842 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5843 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5844 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5845 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5847 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5848 it will update them.
5851 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5852 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5853 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5854 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5855 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5856 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5857 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5858 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5860 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5861 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5862 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5863 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5864 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5865 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5866 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5867 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5868 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5871 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5872 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5873 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5874 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5875 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5878 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5882 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5883 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5885 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5886 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5888 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5889 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5892 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5893 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5895 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5896 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5898 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5901 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5905 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5906 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5907 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5908 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5910 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5913 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5916 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5919 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5920 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5923 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5924 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5928 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5929 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5932 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5933 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5934 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5937 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5938 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5939 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5940 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5941 properly to be processed.
5944 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5945 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5946 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5949 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5950 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5952 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5953 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5954 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5955 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5956 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5957 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5958 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5959 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5960 or delete all the .err files.
5963 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5964 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5965 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5966 to regenerate it if needed.
5967 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5968 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5970 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5971 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5973 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5974 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5975 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5976 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5977 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5980 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5981 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5983 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5984 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5986 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5987 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5988 error, but didn't set one).
5989 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5991 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5994 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5995 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5998 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5999 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6001 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6002 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6003 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6004 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6005 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6006 OID is not part of the table.
6009 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6010 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6013 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6016 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6017 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6021 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6022 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6024 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6026 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6028 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6029 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6031 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6032 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6034 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6035 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6037 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6038 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6041 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6042 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6045 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6046 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6048 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6049 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6051 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6052 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6054 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6055 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6057 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6058 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6059 unused in the certificate verification process.
6060 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6062 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6063 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6066 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6067 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6068 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6070 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6071 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6072 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6073 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6074 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6076 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6077 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6080 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6083 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6086 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6087 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6089 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6092 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6095 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6098 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6099 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6100 other error libraries.
6103 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6106 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6107 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6111 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6112 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6113 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6114 the new set of documenation files.
6115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6117 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6118 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6119 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6120 number of arguments.
6121 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6123 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6126 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6127 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6128 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6130 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6133 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6137 unixware-2.0-pentium
6141 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6142 before they are needed.
6145 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6149 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6151 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6152 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6153 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6155 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6158 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6159 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6162 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6163 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6164 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6166 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6167 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6168 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6170 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6171 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6173 *) Updated the README file.
6174 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6176 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6177 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6178 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6180 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6181 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6182 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6184 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6185 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6186 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6187 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6188 o removed obsolete TODO file
6189 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6190 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6192 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6193 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6194 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6195 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f

6197 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6198 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6200 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6203 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6204 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6205 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6207 [The OpenSSL Project]
6210 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6212 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6215 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6218 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6219 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6222 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6223 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6227 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6229 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6231 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6234 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6237 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6240 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6243 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6246 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6249 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6252 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6255 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6258 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6261 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6264 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6267 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6270 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6273 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6276 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6279 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6282 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
6283 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
6284 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6287 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
6288 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
6291 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
6294 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
6297 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
6298 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
6301 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
6304 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
6307 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
6308 bytes sent in the client random.
