5 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [xx XXX XXXX]
7 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
8 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
9 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
10 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
11 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
12 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
15 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
16 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
17 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
18 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
19 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
23 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
24 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
25 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
26 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
27 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
30 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
31 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
32 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
36 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
37 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
39 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
42 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
44 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
46 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
47 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
49 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
51 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
52 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
56 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
57 exiting on the first error in a request.
60 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
61 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
65 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
66 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
67 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
68 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
70 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
71 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
74 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
75 blocks during encryption.
78 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
79 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
80 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
81 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
85 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
86 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
87 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
88 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
89 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
93 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
95 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
96 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
97 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
98 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
101 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
102 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
103 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
104 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
105 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
107 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
108 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
109 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
110 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
111 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
112 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
113 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
114 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
115 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
118 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
119 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
120 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
121 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
124 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
125 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
128 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
130 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
131 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
132 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
133 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
134 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
136 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
137 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
138 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
140 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
141 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
142 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
143 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
144 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
146 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
147 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
148 used by default when no-err is given.
151 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
152 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
154 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
155 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
156 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
157 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
158 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
160 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
161 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
162 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
163 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
165 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
167 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
169 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
171 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
172 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
173 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
174 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
178 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
179 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
181 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
182 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
185 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
186 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
187 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
188 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
191 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
192 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
193 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
194 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
195 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
196 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
200 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
201 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
204 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
205 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
206 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
207 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
209 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
211 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
214 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
215 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
216 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
217 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
219 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
223 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
224 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
228 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
229 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
230 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
231 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
232 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
233 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
235 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
236 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
237 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
238 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
239 have to be made anyway).
242 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
243 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
244 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
247 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
248 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
249 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
252 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
253 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
254 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
256 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
257 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
258 edit numbers of the version.
259 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
261 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
262 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
265 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
268 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
269 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
272 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
275 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
278 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
281 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
284 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
288 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
289 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
292 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
293 representations in a platform independent manner.
296 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
297 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
300 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
304 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
307 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
311 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
312 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
315 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
319 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
322 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
325 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
328 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
331 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
335 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
338 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
341 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
342 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
346 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
347 the 0.9.6 release series:
349 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
350 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
354 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
357 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
358 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
360 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
361 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
363 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
364 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
365 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
366 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
368 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
369 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
370 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
372 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
373 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
374 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
375 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
377 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
378 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
379 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
382 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
383 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
384 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
385 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
386 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
387 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
388 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
389 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
392 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
393 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
394 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
397 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
398 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
399 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
400 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
401 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
403 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
404 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
406 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
407 error in AES-CFB decryption.
410 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
411 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
412 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
413 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
414 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
415 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
418 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
419 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
420 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
423 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
424 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
427 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
428 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
429 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
430 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
431 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
432 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
433 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
436 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
437 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
438 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
439 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
440 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
441 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
444 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
445 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
446 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
447 declaration has been changed from
450 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
451 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
452 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
453 has been changed into
454 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
456 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
457 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
458 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
460 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
461 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
463 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
464 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
465 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
466 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
467 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
468 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
469 always load it have also been added.
472 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
473 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
474 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
476 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
478 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
479 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
480 because it couldn't be used for anything.
482 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
483 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
484 command line option can be used to specify an
488 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
489 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
492 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
493 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
494 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
497 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
498 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
499 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
500 to work with the new engine framework.
501 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
503 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
504 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
505 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
506 to work with the new engine framework.
509 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
510 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
511 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
513 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
514 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
516 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
517 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
518 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
519 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
521 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
523 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
524 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
526 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
527 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
529 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
530 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
531 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
536 ERR_peek_last_error_line
537 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
541 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
542 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
543 still in the error queue.
544 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
546 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
548 default_algorithms = ALL
549 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
552 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
555 *) New experimental application configuration code.
558 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
559 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
560 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
561 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
563 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
564 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
566 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
567 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
569 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
570 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
573 *) New functions/macros
575 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
576 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
577 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
578 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
580 to request calling a callback function
582 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
583 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
585 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
586 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
587 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
588 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
589 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
590 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
591 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
592 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
593 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
594 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
596 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
597 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
600 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
601 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
602 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
603 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
604 the configuration scripts.
606 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
607 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
608 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
610 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
611 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
613 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
614 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
615 when reusing an existing buffer.
618 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
619 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
622 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
623 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
626 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
627 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
628 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
630 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
632 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
633 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
634 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
635 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
636 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
637 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
640 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
641 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
642 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
643 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
645 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
646 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
647 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
648 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
650 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
651 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
654 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
655 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
656 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
657 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
658 default), and then completely removed.
661 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
662 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
663 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
664 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
665 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
666 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
667 particular extension is supported.
670 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
671 to retain compatibility with existing code.
674 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
675 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
676 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
677 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
678 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
679 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
680 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
681 requires the destination to be valid.
683 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
684 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
687 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
688 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
689 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
692 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
693 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
695 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
696 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
697 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
698 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
699 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
700 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
701 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
702 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
703 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
704 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
705 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
706 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
707 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
708 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
709 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
710 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
711 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
712 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
713 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
717 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
720 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
721 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
722 become part of libeay.num as well.
725 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
726 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
727 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
728 false once a handshake has been completed.
729 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
730 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
731 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
732 client has followed the request.)
735 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
736 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
737 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
738 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
740 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
741 more bits available for options that should not be part of
742 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
745 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
748 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
749 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
750 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
753 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
754 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
757 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
758 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
759 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
760 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
763 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
764 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
765 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
766 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
767 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
768 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
771 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
772 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
773 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
774 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
775 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
776 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
777 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
778 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
781 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
782 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
785 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
788 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
789 md_data void pointer.
792 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
793 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
794 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
795 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
796 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
797 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
800 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
801 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
802 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
803 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
804 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
805 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
806 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
807 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
808 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
809 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
810 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
811 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
812 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
813 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
814 rather than letting it slide.
816 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
817 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
818 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
821 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
822 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
823 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
824 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
825 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
826 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
827 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
828 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
829 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
832 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
833 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
834 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
835 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
836 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
838 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
841 *) Add EVP test program.
844 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
847 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
848 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
849 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
850 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
851 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
854 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
855 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
856 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
857 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
858 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
859 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
860 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
862 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
863 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
864 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
869 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
870 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
871 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
872 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
873 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
877 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
878 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
879 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
880 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
885 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
886 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
888 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
891 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
892 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
893 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
894 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
895 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
896 functions prevents this.
899 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
902 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
906 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
907 revocation information is handled using the text based index
908 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
909 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
910 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
913 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
916 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
917 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
918 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
919 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
921 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
922 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
924 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
925 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
926 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
929 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
930 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
931 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
932 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
935 *) Speed up EVP routines.
938 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

953 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
954 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
956 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
957 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
958 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
959 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
960 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
961 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
964 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
965 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
968 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
969 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
970 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
971 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
973 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
974 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
975 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
976 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
977 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
978 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
982 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
983 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
984 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
985 and interrupts/cancellations.
988 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
989 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
992 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
993 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
994 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
996 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
997 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1001 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1002 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1003 than this minimum value is recommended.
1006 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1007 that are easily reachable.
1010 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1011 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1013 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1015 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1016 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1017 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1018 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1021 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1022 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1023 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1026 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1027 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1028 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1029 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1030 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1031 internally such as S/MIME.
1033 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1034 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1035 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1037 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1041 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1042 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1043 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1044 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1046 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1048 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1050 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1051 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1052 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1056 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1057 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1058 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1059 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1060 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1061 a window system and the like.
1064 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1065 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1068 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1069 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1070 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1071 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1072 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1073 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1074 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1075 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1076 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1080 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1081 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1085 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1086 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1087 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1088 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1089 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1090 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1091 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1092 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1095 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1096 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1097 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1098 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1099 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1100 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1101 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1102 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1103 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1104 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1105 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1106 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1107 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1108 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1109 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1110 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1111 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1114 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1115 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1116 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1117 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1118 internal engine_int.h header.
1121 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1122 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1123 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1124 modify their own ones).
1127 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1128 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1129 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1130 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1131 later on via ctrl() commands.
1132 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1133 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1134 structural references.
1135 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1136 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1137 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1138 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1139 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1140 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1141 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1142 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1143 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1144 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1145 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1146 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1149 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1150 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1151 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1152 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1153 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1154 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1155 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1156 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1159 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1160 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1163 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1164 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1167 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1168 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1169 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1170 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1171 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1172 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1173 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1176 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1177 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1178 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1179 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1180 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1182 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1183 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1187 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1189 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1190 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1191 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1193 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1194 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1196 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1197 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1198 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1200 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1201 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1203 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1204 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1206 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1208 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1209 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1210 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1213 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1214 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1217 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1218 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1219 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1220 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1221 is 40 of more characters long.
1224 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1225 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1229 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1230 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1233 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1234 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1238 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1240 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1241 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1244 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1246 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1247 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1248 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1250 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1251 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1253 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1256 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1260 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1261 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1262 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1263 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1265 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1267 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1268 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1270 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1271 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1272 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1273 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1274 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1275 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1277 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1278 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1280 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1281 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1283 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1284 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1286 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1287 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1288 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1289 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1291 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1292 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1294 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1295 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1297 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1298 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1299 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1300 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1301 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1304 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1305 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1306 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1307 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1310 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1311 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1312 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1316 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1317 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1318 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1319 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1320 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1321 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1322 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1323 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1327 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1328 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1331 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1332 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1333 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1334 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1337 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1338 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1339 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1340 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1341 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1342 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1343 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1344 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1345 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1346 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1349 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1350 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1351 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1352 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1353 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1354 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1355 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1356 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1358 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1359 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1360 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1361 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1364 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1365 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1366 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1367 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1369 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1370 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1371 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1372 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1373 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1377 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1378 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1379 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1380 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1384 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1385 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1386 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1389 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1390 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1391 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1392 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1393 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1396 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1399 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1400 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1401 option to ocsp utility.
1404 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1405 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1406 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1407 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1408 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1409 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1410 the request is nonce-less.
1413 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1414 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1415 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1418 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1419 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1420 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1423 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1424 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1425 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1426 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1427 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1430 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1431 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1435 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1436 additional certificates supplied.
1439 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1440 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1444 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1445 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1448 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1449 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1450 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1451 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1452 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1453 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1454 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1455 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1456 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1458 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1459 request to response.
1462 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1463 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1464 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1465 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1466 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1467 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1468 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1469 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1470 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1471 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1472 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1475 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1476 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1477 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1478 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1481 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1482 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1484 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1485 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1486 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1489 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1490 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1491 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1492 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1493 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1495 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1496 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1497 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1500 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1501 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1502 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1503 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1504 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1505 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1506 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1507 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1509 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1510 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1511 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1512 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1513 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1514 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1517 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1518 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1519 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1520 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1521 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1522 printout format cleaned up.
1525 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1526 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1527 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1528 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1529 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1530 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1531 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1532 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1535 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1536 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1537 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1538 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1539 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1540 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1541 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1542 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1545 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1546 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1547 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1548 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1550 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1552 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1553 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1554 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1555 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1558 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1559 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1560 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1561 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1563 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1565 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1566 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1567 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1568 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1570 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1571 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1573 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1574 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1575 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1578 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1579 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1580 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1583 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1584 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1585 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1586 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1587 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1588 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1589 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1590 functions are provided:
1592 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1593 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1594 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1595 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1597 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1598 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1599 extended allocation function is enabled.
1600 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1601 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1602 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1604 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1605 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1606 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1607 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1608 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1611 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1612 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1613 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1615 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1616 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1617 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1620 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1621 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1622 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1623 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1624 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1625 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1626 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1627 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1628 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1631 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1632 provide utility functions which an application needing
1633 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1634 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1635 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1637 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1638 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1639 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1640 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1641 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1642 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1643 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1644 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1645 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1647 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1648 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1649 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1650 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1653 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1654 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1655 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1656 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1657 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1658 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1659 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1660 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1661 will be added elsewhere.
1664 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1665 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1666 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1667 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1670 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1671 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1672 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1673 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1674 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1675 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1676 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1677 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1678 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1679 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1680 to produce the required SET OF.
1683 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1684 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1685 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1688 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1689 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1690 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1691 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1692 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1693 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1696 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1697 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1698 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1701 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1702 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1703 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1706 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1707 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1708 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1709 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1710 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1713 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1714 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1717 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1718 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1719 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1720 certifcates and CRLs.
1723 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1724 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1725 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1728 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1729 entries for variables.
1732 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1733 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1734 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1735 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1738 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1739 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1740 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1741 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1742 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1743 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1746 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1747 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1749 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1750 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1751 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1754 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1758 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1759 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1760 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1761 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1762 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1763 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1766 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1769 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1770 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1771 for now but they will eventually go away.
1774 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1775 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1776 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1777 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1778 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1779 has also been converted to the new form.
1782 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1783 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1784 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1785 for negative moduli.
1788 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1789 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1792 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1796 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1797 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1798 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1799 type-specific callbacks.
1802 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1804 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1805 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1807 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1808 in sections depending on the subject.
1811 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1815 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1816 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1817 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1818 be handled deterministically).
1819 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1821 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1822 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1823 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1826 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1829 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1830 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1831 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1832 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1833 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1836 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1837 sign of the number in question.
1839 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1841 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1842 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1843 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1844 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1845 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1848 *) New function BN_swap.
1851 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1852 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1853 results on negative inputs.
1856 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1857 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1858 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1861 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1862 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1863 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1864 and add new functions:
1873 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1877 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1879 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1880 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1882 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1883 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1884 be reduced modulo m.
1885 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1888 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
1889 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
1890 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
1892 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1893 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1894 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1895 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1896 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1897 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1902 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1903 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1904 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1905 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1906 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1908 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1909 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1910 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1914 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1917 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1918 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1921 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1922 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1923 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1924 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1928 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1931 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1934 *) Add the following functions:
1936 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1938 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1940 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1942 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1943 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1944 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1945 libraries unless it's really needed.
1947 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1948 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1949 declarations (they differed!).
1952 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1955 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1958 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1961 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1962 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1965 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1966 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1967 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1969 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1970 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1973 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1976 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1979 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1982 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1983 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1984 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1986 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1987 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1988 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1989 different shared library filenames on each system.
1992 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1995 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1996 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1997 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1999 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2002 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2003 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2004 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2005 binary backward compatibility.
2006 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2007 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2008 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2012 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2013 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2014 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2015 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2019 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2022 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2023 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2024 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2025 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2029 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2032 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2034 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2036 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2037 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2039 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2040 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2044 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2045 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2049 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2050 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2051 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2052 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2054 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2055 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2058 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2060 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2061 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2062 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2063 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2066 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2067 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2068 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2069 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2070 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2072 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2073 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2074 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2075 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2076 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2077 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2078 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2079 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2080 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2083 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2085 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2086 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2087 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2088 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2089 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2091 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2092 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2093 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2095 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2097 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2098 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2099 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2100 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2101 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2102 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2105 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2106 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2107 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2108 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2109 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2112 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2113 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2114 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2116 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2117 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2118 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2122 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2123 being properly terminated.
2126 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2127 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2128 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2129 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2131 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2132 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2133 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2134 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2135 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2136 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2137 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2139 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2141 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2142 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2145 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2146 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2147 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2148 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2149 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2150 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2151 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2152 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2154 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2155 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2156 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2157 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2158 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2160 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2161 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2164 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2166 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2167 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2168 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2170 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2172 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2173 and get fix the header length calculation.
2174 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2175 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2178 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2179 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2180 assertions could call abort()).
2181 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2183 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2185 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2186 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2187 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2189 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2191 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2192 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2193 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2196 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2200 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2201 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2202 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2204 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2205 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2206 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2207 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2208 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2212 *) Changes in security patch:
2214 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2215 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2216 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2219 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2220 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2221 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2222 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2223 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2225 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2229 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2230 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2231 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2233 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2234 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2235 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2237 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2238 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2241 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2243 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2244 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2245 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2247 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2248 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2250 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2251 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2252 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2253 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2254 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2255 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2258 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2259 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2260 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2261 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2264 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2267 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2268 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2269 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2270 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2271 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2272 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2274 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2275 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2276 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2277 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2278 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2281 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2282 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2283 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2284 BN_generate_prime().)
2286 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2287 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2288 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2292 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2293 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2296 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2297 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2298 when using non-blocking I/O.
2299 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2301 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2302 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2304 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2305 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2308 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2309 configuration for the versions before that.
2310 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2312 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2313 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2314 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2315 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2318 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2319 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2320 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2323 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2327 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2328 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2329 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2331 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2332 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2334 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2335 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2336 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2337 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2338 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2339 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2340 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2343 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2344 using a local variable.
2345 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2347 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2348 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2349 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2351 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2354 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2355 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2357 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2358 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2359 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2361 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2363 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2364 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2365 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2366 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2369 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2373 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2374 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2375 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2376 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2377 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2379 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2380 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2381 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2383 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2384 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2385 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2387 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2388 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2389 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2390 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2392 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2393 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2394 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2396 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2398 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2399 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2401 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2403 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2404 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2405 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2406 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2408 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2409 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2410 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2411 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2413 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2414 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2416 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2417 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2418 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2421 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2422 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2423 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2425 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2427 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2428 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2429 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2430 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2431 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2432 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2433 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2436 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2437 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2438 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2439 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2441 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2442 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2443 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2444 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2445 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2446 the client will at least see that alert.
2449 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2453 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2454 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2455 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2457 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2458 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2459 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2460 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2463 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2464 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2465 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2467 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2468 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2469 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2470 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2471 may leak via logfiles.)
2473 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2474 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2475 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2476 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2480 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2481 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2484 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2485 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2486 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2487 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2488 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2491 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2492 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2494 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2495 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2496 followed by modular reduction.
2497 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2499 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2500 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2503 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2504 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2505 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2506 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2509 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2512 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2513 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2516 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2517 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2518 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2519 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2520 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2521 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2523 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2525 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2526 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2527 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2528 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2529 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2531 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2534 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2535 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2536 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2537 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2538 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2539 to allow the necessary settings.
2542 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2543 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2544 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2545 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2548 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2549 dh->length and always used
2551 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2553 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2554 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2555 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2556 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2557 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2562 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2564 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2570 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2571 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2572 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2573 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2575 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2576 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2577 always reject numbers >= n.
2580 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2581 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2582 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2583 variable) is not atomic.
2586 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2587 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2588 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2589 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2591 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2592 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2594 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2596 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2598 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2601 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2603 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2604 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2605 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2606 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2607 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2608 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2609 to traverse all of 'state'.
2611 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2612 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2613 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2615 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2616 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2618 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2619 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2620 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2621 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2622 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2623 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2624 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2625 further strengthens the PRNG.
2628 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2631 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2632 an error message in this case.
2635 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2638 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2639 positive and less than q.
2642 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2643 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2645 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2647 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2648 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2652 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2654 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2655 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2656 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2657 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2658 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2659 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2660 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2663 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2664 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2665 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2666 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2668 Both problems are now fixed.
2671 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2672 (previously it was 1024).
2675 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2676 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2679 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2682 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2683 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2684 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2687 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2688 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2689 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2690 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2691 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2692 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2693 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2694 environment variables.
2696 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2697 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2698 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2701 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2702 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2703 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2704 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2705 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2706 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2709 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2713 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2715 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2716 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2718 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2719 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2720 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2721 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2725 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2726 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2727 amount of data available.
2728 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2729 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2731 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2732 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2733 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2734 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2737 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2738 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2742 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2743 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2744 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2745 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2748 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2751 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2754 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2755 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2757 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2759 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2760 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2761 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2762 (but broken) behaviour.
2765 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2767 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2769 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2770 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2773 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2777 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2778 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2780 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2783 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2784 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2785 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2787 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2788 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2789 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2792 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2793 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2796 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2797 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2799 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2801 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2803 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2804 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2805 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2806 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2809 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2812 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2813 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2814 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2816 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2819 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2821 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2822 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2823 but the code is actually correct.
2826 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2827 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2828 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2829 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2830 and leaves the highest bit random.
2831 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2833 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2834 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2835 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2836 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2837 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2838 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2839 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2842 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2845 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2846 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2849 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2850 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2851 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2852 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2856 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2857 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2858 and break the signature.
2860 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2862 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2866 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2867 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2868 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2869 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2870 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2873 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2874 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2876 *) ./config script fixes.
2877 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2879 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2882 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2883 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2884 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2885 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2886 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2888 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2889 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2892 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2893 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2896 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2897 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2898 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2899 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2901 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2902 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2904 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2905 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2906 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2907 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2908 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2910 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2913 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2916 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2919 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2922 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2923 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2926 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2927 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2928 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2929 result of the server certificate verification.)
2932 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2933 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2934 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2938 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2939 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2940 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2941 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2942 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2943 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2944 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2945 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2948 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2949 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2950 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2951 happening the other way round.
2954 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2955 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2958 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2959 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2960 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2961 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2964 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2965 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2967 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2969 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2970 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2971 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2974 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2976 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2978 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2982 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2984 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2985 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2986 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2987 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2988 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2990 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2991 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2995 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2998 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3000 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3001 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3002 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3003 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3004 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3005 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3006 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3007 by the Finished messages.
3010 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3011 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3013 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3014 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3015 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3016 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3017 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3021 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3022 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3023 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3024 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3025 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3026 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3027 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3028 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3029 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3033 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3034 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3035 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3036 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3038 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3039 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3040 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3041 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3042 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3045 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3046 been tested well enough.
3049 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3050 it can return incorrect results.
3051 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3052 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3055 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3056 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3057 include zero length content when signing messages.
3060 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3061 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3064 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3067 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3071 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3072 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3073 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3074 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3075 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3076 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3079 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3080 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3082 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3083 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3085 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3086 random number < q in the DSA library.
3089 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3090 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3091 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3092 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3093 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3094 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3095 just makes things more complicated.)
3098 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3102 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3103 work better on such systems.
3104 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3106 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3107 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3108 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3111 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3112 if there was more than one signature.
3113 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3115 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3116 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3117 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3118 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3121 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3122 rather than always using the current time.
3125 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3126 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3127 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3128 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3129 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3130 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3132 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3133 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3135 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3137 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3138 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3139 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3140 the same hash value.
3142 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3143 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3144 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3145 with X509_STORE internally.
3147 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3148 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3150 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3151 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3152 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3153 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3154 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3155 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3156 entirely (maybe later...).
3158 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3160 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3161 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3162 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3163 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3164 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3165 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3166 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3167 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3169 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3170 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3172 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3173 to customise the verify behaviour.
3176 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3177 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3180 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3181 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3182 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3183 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3184 request is improperly encoded.
3187 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3188 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3191 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3192 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3194 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3195 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3199 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3200 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3201 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3204 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3205 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3206 BIO/fp routines also added.
3209 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3210 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3212 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3213 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3214 demos/state_machine.
3217 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3218 generation and verification.
3221 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3222 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3223 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3224 encode and decode it manually.
3227 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3229 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3231 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3232 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3233 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3234 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3236 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3237 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3238 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3239 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3240 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3243 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3246 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3247 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3248 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3250 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3251 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3252 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3253 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3254 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3255 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3256 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3257 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3259 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3260 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3262 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3264 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3265 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3266 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3270 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3271 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3272 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3273 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3277 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3279 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3282 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3283 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3284 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3285 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3286 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3287 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3288 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3289 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3290 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3291 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3292 short or long names are found.
3295 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3296 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3298 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3299 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3300 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3301 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3303 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3304 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3305 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3306 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3309 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3310 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3311 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3314 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3315 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3316 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3317 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3318 to allow the various flags to be set.
3321 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3322 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3323 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3324 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3325 dates to be checked.
3328 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3329 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3330 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3333 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3334 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3335 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3338 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3339 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3342 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3343 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3344 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3345 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3346 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3347 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3350 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3351 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3355 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3359 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3360 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3361 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3362 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3363 form signing output easier to verify.
3366 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3369 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3370 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3371 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3372 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3373 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3374 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3375 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3376 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3377 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3378 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3381 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3383 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3384 the syntax given in objects.README.
3385 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3387 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3390 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3391 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3392 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3393 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3394 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3395 consistent name changes.
3398 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3401 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3402 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3403 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3404 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3407 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3408 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3409 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3413 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3414 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3415 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3416 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3419 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3420 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3421 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3422 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3423 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3424 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3425 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3426 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3427 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3428 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3429 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3432 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3433 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3434 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3435 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3436 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3437 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3438 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3439 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3440 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3441 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3444 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3445 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3446 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3447 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3449 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3450 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3451 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3452 omit any duplicate addresses.
3455 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3456 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3459 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3460 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3461 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3462 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3463 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3466 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3468 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3469 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3470 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3471 Free => OPENSSL_free
3474 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3475 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3478 *) CygWin32 support.
3479 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3481 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3482 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3483 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3484 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3485 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3489 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3490 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3491 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3492 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3493 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3494 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3495 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3498 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3499 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3500 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3501 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3502 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3503 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3504 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3505 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3506 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3507 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3508 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3511 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3512 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3513 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3514 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3515 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3517 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3518 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3519 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3520 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3521 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3523 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3526 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3527 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3528 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3529 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3531 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3533 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3536 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3537 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3538 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3541 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3542 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3543 any installed hardware versions can.
3546 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3547 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3548 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3552 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3553 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3554 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3555 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3556 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3558 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3559 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3562 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3563 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3566 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3567 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3568 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3572 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3575 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3576 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3577 but no ssl client purpose.
3578 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3580 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3581 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3582 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3583 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3584 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3585 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3586 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3587 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3588 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3589 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3590 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3593 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3594 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3595 be obtained from the error queue.
3598 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3599 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3600 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3601 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3604 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3607 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3608 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3609 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3610 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3611 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3614 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3615 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3616 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3617 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3618 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3621 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3622 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3623 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3625 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3627 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3628 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3629 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3630 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3631 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3632 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3633 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3634 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3635 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3636 or "the configuration storage API"...
3638 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3640 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3641 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3643 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3645 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3647 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3648 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3649 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3650 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3651 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3652 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3653 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3655 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3656 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3659 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3660 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3661 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3662 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3665 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3666 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3667 them in a portable way.
3668 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3670 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3672 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3674 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3675 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3677 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3678 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3679 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3682 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3683 was larger than the MD block size.
3684 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3686 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3687 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3688 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3689 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3693 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3694 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3695 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3697 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3699 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3701 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3702 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3703 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3704 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3705 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3706 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3708 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3709 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3711 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3712 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3715 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3718 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3719 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3721 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3722 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3723 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3724 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3727 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3728 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3729 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3730 does not suppress any output.
3733 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3734 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3735 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3736 with all the associated security issues.
3738 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3739 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3740 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3741 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3742 use the value in the default purpose.
3745 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3746 and fix a memory leak.
3749 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3750 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3751 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3752 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3755 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3756 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3757 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3758 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3761 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3762 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3763 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3766 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3767 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3770 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3771 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3775 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3776 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3779 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3780 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3781 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3784 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3785 number generation fails.
3788 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3791 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3792 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3794 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3797 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3798 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3800 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3801 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3803 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3805 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3806 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3809 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3810 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3812 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3813 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3816 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3817 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3818 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3819 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3820 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3821 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3823 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3824 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3825 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3829 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3830 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3831 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3832 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3833 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3834 counter, some don't.)
3835 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3836 counters or duplicate objects.
3839 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3840 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3843 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3844 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3845 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3847 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3848 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3849 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3853 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3854 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3857 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3858 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3859 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3863 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3864 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3865 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3868 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3869 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3870 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3871 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3872 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3873 should work without changes.
3876 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3877 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3878 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3879 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3880 must be defined. E.g.,
3881 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3882 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3883 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3884 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3886 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3890 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3891 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3892 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3895 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3896 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3897 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3898 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3901 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3902 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3903 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3904 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3905 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3906 is prompted for as usual.
3909 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3910 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3911 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3912 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3914 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3915 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3916 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3917 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3920 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3923 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3927 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3930 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3933 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3937 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3940 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3943 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3944 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3947 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3948 options to produce them.
3951 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3952 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3955 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3959 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3960 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3961 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3962 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3963 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3964 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3965 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3968 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3971 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3972 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3973 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3976 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3977 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3979 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3980 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3983 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3984 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3985 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3989 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3990 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3992 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3993 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3994 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3995 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3996 generation becomes much faster.
3998 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3999 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4000 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4001 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4002 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4003 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4004 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4005 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4006 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4007 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4010 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4011 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4012 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4013 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4014 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4015 trial division stage.
4018 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4022 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4025 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4028 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4029 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4030 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4034 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4035 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4036 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4039 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4040 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4041 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4042 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4044 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4045 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4048 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4051 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4052 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4053 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4054 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4057 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4058 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4059 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4062 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4063 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4064 (instead of parameters) in future.
4067 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4068 when a new cipher list is set.
4071 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4072 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4075 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4076 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4077 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4079 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4080 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4081 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4082 an error is flagged.
4084 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4085 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4086 the readability was also increased :-)
4087 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4089 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4090 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4091 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4092 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4096 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4097 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4100 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4101 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4102 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4103 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4106 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4107 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4108 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4109 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4110 because they handle more complex structures.)
4113 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4114 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4115 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4116 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4118 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4119 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4120 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4121 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4122 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4123 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4124 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4127 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4128 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4129 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4130 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4131 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4134 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4137 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4138 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4139 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4140 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4141 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4144 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4148 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4149 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4150 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4151 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4154 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4157 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4158 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4159 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4160 international characters are used.
4162 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4163 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4164 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4168 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4169 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4170 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4173 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4174 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4175 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4176 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4177 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4178 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4180 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4181 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4182 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4183 be handled by the string table functions.
4185 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4186 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4187 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4188 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4189 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4193 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4194 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4195 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4196 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4197 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4199 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4200 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4201 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4202 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4205 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4206 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4207 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4208 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4209 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4213 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4214 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4215 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4216 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4217 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4218 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4219 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4220 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4222 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4223 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4224 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4227 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4228 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4229 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4230 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4231 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4232 support to pkcs8 application.
4235 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4236 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4237 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4238 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4239 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4240 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4243 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4244 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4245 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4246 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4247 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4251 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4252 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4253 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4254 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4258 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4259 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4260 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4261 and any application specific purposes.
4263 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4264 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4265 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4266 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4267 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4268 if the certificate is self signed.
4271 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4272 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4275 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4276 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4277 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4278 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4281 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4282 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4283 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4284 Update documentation.
4287 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4288 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4289 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4290 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4291 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4294 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4296 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4298 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4299 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4300 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4301 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4302 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4303 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4304 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4305 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4306 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4307 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4309 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4311 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4312 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4313 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4314 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4315 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4317 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4318 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4319 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4320 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4321 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4322 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4323 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4324 request additional information:
4325 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4326 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4328 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4329 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4330 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4333 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4334 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4337 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4340 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4341 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4343 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4344 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4345 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4349 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4350 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4351 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4353 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4354 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4355 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4356 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4357 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4358 included in OpenSSL.
4361 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4362 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4363 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4364 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4365 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4366 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4369 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4373 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4374 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4375 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4376 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4377 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4381 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4385 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4386 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4387 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4388 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4389 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4390 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4391 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4392 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4393 be maintained manually.
4395 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4396 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4397 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4398 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4399 work because people forget to call this function]
4400 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4401 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4402 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4405 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4406 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4407 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4408 should be discouraged from doing it.
4411 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4412 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4413 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4414 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4415 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4416 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4419 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4420 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4421 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4423 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4424 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4425 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4427 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4428 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4429 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4430 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4431 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4432 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4434 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4435 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4436 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4438 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4439 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4442 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4443 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4444 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4445 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4448 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4451 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4452 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4453 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4454 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4455 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4456 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4457 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4458 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4459 keys so we should be OK.
4461 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4462 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4463 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4464 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4465 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4466 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4467 stay in the name of compatibility.
4469 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4470 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4471 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4473 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4474 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4475 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4476 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4477 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4478 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4482 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4483 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4484 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4485 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4486 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4487 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4488 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4489 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4490 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4491 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4492 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4493 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4494 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4497 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4500 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4501 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4502 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4503 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4504 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4505 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4506 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4507 openssl verify ss.pem
4508 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4509 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4513 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4514 (and add it to external session representation).
4515 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4516 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4517 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4518 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4519 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4520 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4522 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4524 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4525 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4526 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4527 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4529 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4530 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4531 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4534 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4535 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4536 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4540 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4541 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4542 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4544 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4545 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4546 certificate auxiliary information.
4549 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4553 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4554 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4555 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4556 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4557 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4558 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4559 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4562 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4563 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4566 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4567 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4568 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4569 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4572 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4575 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4576 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4579 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4580 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4581 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4582 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4583 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4584 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4585 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4586 using the new 'x509' options.
4588 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4589 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4590 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4591 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4595 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4596 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4597 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4598 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4599 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4602 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4603 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4604 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4605 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4606 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4607 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4608 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4609 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4610 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4611 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4614 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4615 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4616 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4617 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4618 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4619 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4620 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4623 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4624 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4625 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4626 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4627 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4628 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4629 openssl.cnf for more info.
4632 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4633 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4634 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4635 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4636 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4637 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4638 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4639 md should be large enough anyway.
4642 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4643 for handling the random seed file.
4645 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4647 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4650 x509 (when signing).
4651 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4652 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4653 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4655 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4656 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4657 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4658 that support '-rand'.
4661 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4662 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4665 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4666 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4669 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4670 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4671 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4672 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4676 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4677 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4678 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4679 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4682 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4683 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4684 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4685 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4686 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4687 print out all the purposes.
4690 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4694 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4695 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4696 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4697 single function call.
4700 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4701 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4704 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4705 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4706 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4709 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4710 when producing the local key id.
4711 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4713 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4714 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4715 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4719 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4720 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4721 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4722 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4725 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4726 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4727 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4728 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4730 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4731 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4732 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4733 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4735 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4736 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4737 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4738 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4739 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4740 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4741 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4742 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4743 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4744 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4745 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4746 trivial: move one line.
4747 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4749 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4750 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4751 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4752 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4753 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4754 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4755 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4756 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4757 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4758 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4759 with an event loop for example.
4762 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4763 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4764 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4765 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4766 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4767 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4768 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4769 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4770 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4773 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4774 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4775 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4776 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4777 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4778 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4781 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4782 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4783 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4784 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4786 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4787 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4788 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4789 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4793 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4794 (still largely untested)
4797 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4798 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4801 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4802 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4805 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4806 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4807 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4810 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4811 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4812 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4813 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4814 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4817 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4820 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4821 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4822 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4823 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4824 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4828 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4829 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4832 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4835 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4836 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4837 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4838 are otherwise ignored at present.
4841 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4842 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4843 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4844 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4845 copied until the next read.
4848 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4849 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4850 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4853 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4854 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4855 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4856 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4857 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4858 associated functions.
4861 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4862 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4863 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4864 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4865 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4866 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4867 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4868 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4869 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4873 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4874 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4875 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4876 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4879 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4880 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4881 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4882 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4883 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4887 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4888 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4892 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4893 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4894 extensions to be obtained and added.
4897 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4898 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4901 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4903 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4904 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4906 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4907 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4909 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4913 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4914 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4915 DH parameters contain its length).
4917 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4918 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4919 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4920 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4921 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4922 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4923 utter importance to use
4924 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4926 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4927 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4928 attacks may become possible!
4931 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4934 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4935 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4938 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4939 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4940 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4944 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4945 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4946 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4947 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4948 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4949 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4950 private key operations.
4953 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4956 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4957 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4959 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4960 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4961 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4962 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4963 the password callback is called.
4964 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4966 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4968 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4969 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4970 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4971 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4972 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4973 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4976 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4977 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4978 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4979 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4980 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4981 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4984 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4987 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4988 delete an unused file.
4991 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4992 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4993 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4994 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4997 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4998 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4999 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5003 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5004 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5005 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5007 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5008 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5009 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5010 comparison" warnings.
5011 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5014 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5015 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5016 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5019 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5020 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5022 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5023 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5025 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5026 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5027 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5029 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5030 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5031 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5032 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5033 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5035 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5037 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5038 The interface is as follows:
5039 Applications can use
5040 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5041 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5042 "off" is now the default.
5043 The library internally uses
5044 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5045 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5046 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5048 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5049 even the default) are now avoided.
5051 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5052 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5053 than just having a counter.
5055 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5057 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5061 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5062 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5063 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5064 Initial "mode" flags are:
5066 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5067 a single record has been written.
5068 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5069 retries use the same buffer location.
5070 (But all of the contents must be
5074 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5077 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5078 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5080 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5081 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5082 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5085 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5086 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5088 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5090 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5091 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5092 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5093 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5095 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5096 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5098 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5099 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5100 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5101 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5102 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5103 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5106 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5107 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5108 necessary function names.
5111 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5112 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5113 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5114 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5117 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5118 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5119 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5122 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5123 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5124 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5125 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5127 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5131 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5132 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5133 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5136 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5137 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5141 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5142 for the encoded length.
5143 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5145 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5148 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5149 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5150 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5151 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5154 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5155 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5156 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5158 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5159 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5160 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5164 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5165 to use the new extension code.
5168 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5169 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5170 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5174 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5175 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5176 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5180 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5183 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5184 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5185 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5188 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5189 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5190 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5191 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5194 *) DES library cleanups.
5197 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5198 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5199 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5200 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5201 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5205 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5206 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5209 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5210 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5211 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5212 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5213 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5214 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5215 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5216 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5217 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5220 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5221 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5222 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5223 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5224 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5225 value doesn't matter.
5228 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5232 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5233 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5234 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5235 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5237 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5240 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5241 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5242 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5244 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5245 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5247 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5250 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5253 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5256 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5260 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5262 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5264 *) Updated some demos.
5265 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5267 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5270 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5273 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5276 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5277 instead of using a fixed path.
5280 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5283 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5287 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5289 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5290 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5291 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5293 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5294 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5295 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5296 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5297 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5298 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5299 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5300 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5301 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5302 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5305 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5306 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5309 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5310 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5311 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5312 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5313 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5315 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5318 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5319 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5320 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5323 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5326 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5327 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5328 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5329 key elements as negative integers.
5332 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5333 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5336 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5338 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5339 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5340 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5343 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5344 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5345 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5346 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5347 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5350 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5353 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5354 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5355 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5358 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5359 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5360 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5362 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5363 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5364 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5365 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5366 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5367 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5368 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5369 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5370 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5372 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5373 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5374 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5375 does not influence s as it used to.
5377 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5378 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5379 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5380 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5381 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5382 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5385 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5386 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5387 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5391 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5392 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5393 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5397 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5398 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5399 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5403 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5404 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5407 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5408 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5413 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5414 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5416 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5417 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5419 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5422 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5425 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5428 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5429 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5430 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5434 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5435 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5436 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5437 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5438 now it really counts the depth.
5441 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5442 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5443 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5444 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5445 didn't match the private key).
5447 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5448 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5449 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5452 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5455 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5459 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5460 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5461 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5464 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5467 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5468 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5469 such as /usr/local/bin.
5472 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5473 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5475 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5478 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5479 extension adding in x509 utility.
5482 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5485 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5489 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5492 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5493 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5494 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5495 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5496 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5497 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5498 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5499 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5500 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5501 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5504 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5507 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5508 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5511 *) Fix some race conditions.
5514 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5515 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5518 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5521 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5522 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5523 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5524 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5526 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5527 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5529 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5530 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5531 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5533 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5534 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5536 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5539 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5540 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5542 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5545 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5546 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5548 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5549 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5552 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5553 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5556 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5557 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5560 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5561 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5564 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5565 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5568 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5569 support typesafe stack.
5572 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5573 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5575 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5576 old X509V3 handling code.
5579 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5582 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5585 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5588 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5589 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5591 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5592 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5593 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5594 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5595 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5598 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5599 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5600 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5601 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5602 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5604 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5605 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5606 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5607 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5609 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5610 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5611 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5614 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5615 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5616 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5617 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5618 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5619 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5622 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5623 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5626 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5627 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5630 *) Tweaks to Configure
5631 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5633 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5637 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5640 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5641 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5644 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5645 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5646 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5649 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5652 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5653 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5656 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5657 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5658 to library startup routines.
5661 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5662 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5663 codes along the way.
5666 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5667 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5668 objects to objects.h
5671 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5672 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5675 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5676 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5678 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5679 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5680 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5682 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5683 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5684 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5686 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5687 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5688 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5691 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5693 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5694 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5697 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5698 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5699 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5700 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5701 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5703 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5704 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5705 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5707 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5709 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5711 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5713 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5714 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5716 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5717 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5718 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5719 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5721 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5724 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5725 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5726 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5727 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5730 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5731 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5732 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5735 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5736 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5737 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5738 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5739 installed as `perl').
5740 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5742 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5743 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5745 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5746 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5747 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5748 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5749 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5752 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5755 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5756 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5757 is horrible: I feel ill....
5760 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5761 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5762 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5763 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5766 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5769 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5770 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5771 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5774 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5775 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5776 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5777 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5778 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5779 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5781 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5783 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5784 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5786 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5787 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5789 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5792 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5793 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5797 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5798 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5799 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5800 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5801 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5802 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5803 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5804 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5805 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5806 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5807 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5809 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5812 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5813 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5814 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5815 for linking it into DSOs.
5816 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5818 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5822 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5823 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5824 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5825 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5826 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5827 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5829 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5830 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5831 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5832 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5833 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5834 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5837 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5838 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5839 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5843 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5844 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5845 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5846 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5849 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5850 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5851 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5852 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5853 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5857 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5858 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5859 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5860 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5861 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5863 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5864 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5865 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5867 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5868 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5870 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5871 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5872 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5873 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5874 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5877 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5878 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5879 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5880 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5881 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5882 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5883 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5886 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5888 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5889 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5892 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5893 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5895 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5896 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5899 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5900 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5901 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5902 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5903 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5905 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5906 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5907 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5908 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5909 no way to reconfigure them.
5910 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5911 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5912 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5913 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5914 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5915 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5917 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5918 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5919 recognized by the users.
5920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5922 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5923 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5924 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5925 already masked variable.
5926 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5928 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5929 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5931 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5932 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5933 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5934 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5936 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5937 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5938 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5940 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5941 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5942 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5943 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5944 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5945 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5946 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5947 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5949 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5951 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5952 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5953 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5955 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5956 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5960 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5961 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5963 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5964 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5965 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5966 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5969 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5972 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5973 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5975 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5978 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5979 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5982 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5983 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5986 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5987 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5988 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5989 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5990 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5991 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5992 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5995 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5996 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5998 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5999 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6000 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6001 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6002 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6004 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6005 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6006 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6009 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6010 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6014 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6015 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6016 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6018 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6019 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6020 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6024 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6025 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6026 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6027 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6030 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6031 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6032 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6033 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6036 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6037 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6038 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6039 so it wasn't spotted.
6040 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6042 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6043 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6044 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6045 vectors if you have them.
6048 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6049 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6052 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6053 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6054 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6055 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6057 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6058 it will update them.
6061 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6062 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6063 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6064 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6065 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6066 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6067 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6068 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6070 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6071 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6072 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6073 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6074 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6075 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6076 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6077 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6078 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6079 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6081 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6082 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6083 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6084 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6085 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6088 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6092 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6093 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6095 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6096 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6098 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6099 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6102 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6103 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6105 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6106 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6108 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6111 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6115 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6116 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6117 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6118 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6120 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6123 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6126 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6129 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6130 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6133 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6134 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6138 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6139 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6142 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6143 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6144 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6147 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6148 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6149 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6150 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6151 properly to be processed.
6154 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6155 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6156 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6159 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6160 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6162 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6163 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6164 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6165 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6166 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6167 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6168 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6169 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6170 or delete all the .err files.
6173 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6174 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6175 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6176 to regenerate it if needed.
6177 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6178 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6180 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6181 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6183 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6184 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6185 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6186 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6187 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6190 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6191 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6193 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6194 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6196 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6197 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6198 error, but didn't set one).
6199 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6201 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6204 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6205 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6208 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6209 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6211 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6212 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6213 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6214 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6215 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6216 OID is not part of the table.
6219 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6220 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6223 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6226 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6227 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6231 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6232 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6234 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6236 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6238 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6239 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6241 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6242 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6244 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6245 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6247 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6248 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6251 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6252 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6255 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6256 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6258 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6259 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6261 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6262 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6264 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6265 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6267 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6268 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6269 unused in the certificate verification process.
6270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6272 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6273 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6276 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6277 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6278 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6280 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6281 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6282 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6283 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6284 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6286 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6287 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6290 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6293 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6296 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6297 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6299 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6302 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6305 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6308 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6309 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6310 other error libraries.
6313 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6316 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6317 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6321 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6322 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6323 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6324 the new set of documenation files.
6325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6327 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6328 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6329 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6330 number of arguments.
6331 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6333 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6336 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6337 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6338 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6340 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6343 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6347 unixware-2.0-pentium
6351 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6352 before they are needed.
6355 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6359 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6361 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6362 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6365 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6368 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6369 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6372 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6373 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6374 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6376 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6377 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6380 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6381 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6383 *) Updated the README file.
6384 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6386 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6387 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6388 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6390 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6391 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6394 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6395 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6396 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6397 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6398 o removed obsolete TODO file
6399 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6400 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6402 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6403 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6404 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6405 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6406 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6407 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6408 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6410 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6413 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6414 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6415 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6417 [The OpenSSL Project]
6420 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6422 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6425 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6428 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6429 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6432 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6433 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6437 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6439 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6441 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6444 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6447 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6450 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6453 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6456 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6459 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6462 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6465 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6468 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6471 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6474 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6477 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6480 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6483 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6486 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6489 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6492 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
