10 Changes between 1.0.2o and 1.0.2p [xx XXX xxxx]
12 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
13 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
16 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
17 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
18 are no longer allowed.
21 Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
23 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
25 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
26 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
27 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
28 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
29 so this is considered safe.
31 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
36 Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
38 *) Read/write after SSL object in error state
40 OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
41 mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
42 then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
43 you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
44 explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
45 SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
46 SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
47 handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
48 call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
49 for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
50 being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
52 In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
53 that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
54 already received a fatal error.
56 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
60 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
62 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
63 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
64 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
65 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
66 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
67 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
68 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
69 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
70 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
71 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
73 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
74 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
76 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
77 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
81 Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
83 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
85 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
86 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
87 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
88 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
89 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
90 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
91 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
92 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
93 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
94 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
95 key that is shared between multiple clients.
97 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
98 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
100 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
104 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
106 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
107 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
108 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
110 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
114 Changes between 1.0.2k and 1.0.2l [25 May 2017]
116 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
117 platform rather than 'mingw'.
120 Changes between 1.0.2j and 1.0.2k [26 Jan 2017]
122 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
124 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
125 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
126 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
128 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
132 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
134 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
135 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
136 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
137 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
138 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
139 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
140 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
141 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
142 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
143 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
144 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
145 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
146 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
148 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
152 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
154 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
155 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
156 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
157 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
158 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
159 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
160 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
161 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
162 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
163 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
164 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
165 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
166 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
167 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
169 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
170 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
171 providing reproducible case.
175 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
176 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
177 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
178 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
181 Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
183 *) Missing CRL sanity check
185 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
186 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
187 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
189 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
193 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
195 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
197 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
198 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
199 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
200 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
201 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
202 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
203 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
205 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
209 *) In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
212 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
217 *) OOB write in MDC2_Update()
219 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
220 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
221 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
222 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
223 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
225 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
228 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
232 *) Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
234 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
235 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
238 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
239 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
241 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
245 *) OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
247 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
248 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
249 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
250 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
251 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
253 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
257 *) OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
259 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
260 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
261 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
264 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
268 *) Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
270 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
272 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
275 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
278 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
281 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
282 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
285 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
286 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
287 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
289 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
293 *) Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
295 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
296 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
297 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
298 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
299 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
301 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
302 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
307 *) DTLS buffered message DoS
309 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
310 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
311 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
312 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
313 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
314 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
315 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
316 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
317 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
318 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
320 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
324 *) DTLS replay protection DoS
326 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
327 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
328 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
329 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
330 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
331 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
332 service for a specific DTLS connection.
334 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
338 *) Certificate message OOB reads
340 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
341 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
342 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
345 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
346 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
347 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
349 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
353 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
355 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
357 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
358 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
361 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
362 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
363 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
364 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
365 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
368 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
372 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
374 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
375 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
376 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
379 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
380 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
381 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
382 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
383 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
384 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
386 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
390 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
392 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
393 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
394 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
395 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
396 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
397 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
398 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
399 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
400 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
401 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
402 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
403 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
404 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
405 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
406 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
407 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
409 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
413 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
415 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
416 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
417 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
419 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
420 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
421 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
422 applications are not affected.
424 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
430 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
431 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
432 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
434 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
438 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
439 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
442 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
446 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
447 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
450 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
452 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
453 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
454 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
457 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
458 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
459 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
460 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
461 will need to explicitly call either of:
463 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
465 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
467 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
468 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
469 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
470 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
471 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
475 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
477 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
478 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
479 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
482 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
487 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
489 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
491 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
492 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
493 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
496 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
497 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
498 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
499 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
500 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
501 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
502 that of a valid user.
506 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
508 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
509 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
510 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
511 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
512 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
513 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
514 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
515 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
516 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
517 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
518 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
520 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
521 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
522 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
523 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
524 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
526 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
530 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
532 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
533 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
534 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
536 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
537 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
538 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
539 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
540 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
543 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
544 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
545 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
546 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
547 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
548 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
549 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
550 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
551 as command line arguments.
553 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
554 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
555 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
557 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
561 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
563 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
564 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
565 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
566 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
567 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
569 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
570 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
571 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
572 http://cachebleed.info.
576 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
577 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
578 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
579 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
582 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
584 *) DH small subgroups
586 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
587 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
588 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
589 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
590 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
591 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
592 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
593 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
594 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
595 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
597 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
598 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
599 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
600 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
601 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
603 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
604 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
605 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
606 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
608 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
609 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
611 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
615 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
617 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
618 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
619 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
622 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
623 and Sebastian Schinzel.
627 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
630 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
632 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
634 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
635 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
636 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
637 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
638 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
639 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
640 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
641 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
642 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
643 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
644 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
645 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
647 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
651 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
653 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
654 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
655 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
656 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
657 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
658 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
659 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
662 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
666 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
668 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
669 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
670 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
671 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
673 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
678 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
679 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
680 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
681 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
684 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
685 use a random seed, as already documented.
686 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
688 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
690 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
692 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
693 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
694 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
695 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
696 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
697 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
699 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
704 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
706 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
707 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
708 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
713 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
715 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
716 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
719 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
721 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
723 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
724 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
727 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
728 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
729 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
730 client authentication enabled.
732 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
736 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
738 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
739 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
740 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
743 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
744 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
745 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
746 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
747 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
750 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
751 independently by Hanno Böck.
755 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
757 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
758 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
759 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
761 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
762 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
763 servers are not affected.
765 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
769 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
771 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
772 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
773 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
775 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
779 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
781 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
782 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
783 a double free of the ticket data.
787 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
788 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
789 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
790 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
791 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
792 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
795 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
796 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
797 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
800 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
801 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
803 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
805 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
807 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
808 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
809 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
811 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
814 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
816 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
818 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
819 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
820 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
821 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
822 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
823 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
824 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
825 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
827 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
831 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
833 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
834 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
835 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
836 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
837 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
838 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
839 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
840 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
843 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
847 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
849 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
850 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
851 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
852 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
853 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
854 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
858 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
860 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
861 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
862 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
863 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
864 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
865 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
866 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
868 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
872 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
874 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
875 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
876 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
878 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
879 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
880 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
885 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
887 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
888 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
889 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
891 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
892 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
893 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
895 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
899 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
901 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
902 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
903 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
905 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
906 (OpenSSL development team).
910 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
912 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
913 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
914 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
918 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
920 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
921 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
922 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
923 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
924 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
925 SSL_client_methodv23)
926 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
927 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
929 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
930 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
931 output may be predictable.
933 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
934 succeed on an unpatched platform:
936 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
940 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
942 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
943 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
944 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
945 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
946 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
947 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
949 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
954 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
956 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
957 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
959 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
963 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
966 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
968 *) Change RSA and DH/DSA key generation apps to generate 2048-bit
972 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
973 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
974 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
975 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
976 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
977 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
980 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
981 (other platforms pending).
982 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
984 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
985 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
988 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
989 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
990 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
993 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
994 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
995 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
996 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
999 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1000 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1002 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1003 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1004 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1005 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1006 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1008 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1011 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1012 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1013 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1014 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1016 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1018 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1020 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1021 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1022 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1025 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1028 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1029 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1030 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1033 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1034 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1037 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1038 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1041 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1042 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1043 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1044 algorithms and include tests cases.
1047 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1049 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1051 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1052 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1055 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1056 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1057 summary of the connection parameters.
1060 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1061 of connection parameters.
1064 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1065 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1067 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1068 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1071 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1074 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1075 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1078 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1079 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1082 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1086 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1087 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1088 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1091 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1094 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1095 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1098 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1099 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1100 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1104 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1105 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1108 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1112 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1116 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1117 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1118 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1119 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1122 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1123 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1126 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1127 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1128 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1132 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1133 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1134 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1135 use the certificate.
1138 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1141 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1142 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1143 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1144 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1145 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1146 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1147 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1149 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1150 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1154 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1155 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1156 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1159 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1160 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1161 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1162 supported signature algorithms.
1165 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1168 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1169 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1170 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1171 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1172 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1173 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1174 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1177 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1178 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1179 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1180 to have similar checks in it.
1182 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1183 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1184 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1185 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1186 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1189 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1190 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1191 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1192 shared signature algorithms.
1195 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1196 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1200 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1201 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1202 it couldn't be removed.
1205 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1206 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1209 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1210 functions. Add manual page.
1211 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1213 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1214 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1218 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1219 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1221 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1222 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1223 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1224 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1228 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1229 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1232 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1233 platform support for Linux and Android.
1236 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1239 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1240 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1241 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1242 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1243 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1246 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1247 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1248 the new parameter format automatically.
1251 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1252 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1255 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1258 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1259 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1260 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1261 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1262 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1265 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1266 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1267 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1268 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1269 to set list of supported curves.
1272 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1273 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1274 to print out received values.
1277 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1278 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1279 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1282 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1283 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1286 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1287 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1290 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1294 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1296 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1297 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1298 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1300 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1302 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1303 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1305 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1307 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1308 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1309 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1310 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1314 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1315 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1316 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1317 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1318 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1319 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1323 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1324 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1325 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1326 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1330 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1333 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1334 reporting this issue.
1338 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1339 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1340 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1341 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1342 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1343 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1347 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1348 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1349 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1350 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1351 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1352 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1353 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1358 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1359 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1361 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1362 and can vary with the CTX.
1365 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1367 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1368 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1369 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1370 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1371 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1373 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1375 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1376 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1378 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1380 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1381 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1382 errors for some broken certificates.
1384 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1386 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1388 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1389 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1391 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1392 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1393 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1394 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1396 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1397 of the OpenSSL core team.
1402 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1403 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1404 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1405 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1406 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1407 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1408 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1409 the OpenSSL core team.
1413 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1414 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1415 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1416 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1417 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1419 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1420 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1421 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1424 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1425 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1426 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1427 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1428 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1430 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1431 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1432 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1435 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1437 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1439 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1440 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1441 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1442 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1443 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1444 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1445 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1447 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1451 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1453 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1454 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1455 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1456 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1457 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1462 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1464 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1465 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1466 configured to send them.
1468 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1470 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1471 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1472 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1474 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1476 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1478 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1479 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1480 DigestInfo structures.
1482 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1486 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1488 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1489 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1490 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1492 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1493 Group for discovering this issue.
1497 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1498 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1499 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1500 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1501 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1503 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1504 researching this issue.
1508 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1509 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1510 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1511 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1513 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1518 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1519 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1520 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1524 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1525 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1526 Denial of Service attack.
1527 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1531 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1532 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1533 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1534 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1539 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1540 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1541 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1543 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1548 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1549 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1550 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1551 Denial of Service attack.
1553 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1554 discovering and researching this issue.
1558 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1559 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1560 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1561 output to the attacker.
1563 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1565 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1567 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1568 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1569 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1572 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1574 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1575 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1576 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1578 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1579 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1580 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1582 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1583 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1586 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1588 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1590 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1591 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1592 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1593 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1595 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1596 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1598 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1599 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1601 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1602 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1603 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1605 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1607 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1609 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1610 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1611 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1613 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1614 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1616 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1618 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1619 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1622 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1623 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1624 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1625 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1627 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1628 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1629 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1630 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1632 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1633 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1634 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1636 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1638 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1639 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1640 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1641 is at least 512 bytes long.
1643 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1645 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1647 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1648 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1649 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1652 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1653 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1654 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1657 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1658 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1659 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1660 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1661 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1662 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1663 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1665 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1667 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1668 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1669 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1671 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1673 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1675 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1676 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1677 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1679 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1680 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1681 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1682 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1684 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1686 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1687 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1688 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1689 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1690 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1694 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1695 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1698 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1699 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1701 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1702 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1703 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1704 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1705 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1707 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1710 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1714 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1716 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1717 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1719 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1720 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1724 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1725 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1728 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1732 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1734 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1735 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1736 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1737 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1738 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1739 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1740 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1741 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1742 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1743 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1746 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1747 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1748 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1749 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1750 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1751 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1755 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1757 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1758 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1759 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1761 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1762 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1764 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1766 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1769 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1770 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1772 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1773 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1774 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1775 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1776 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1777 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1778 Most broken servers should now work.
1779 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1780 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1783 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1786 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1788 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1789 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1792 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1793 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1794 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1795 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1796 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1799 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1800 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1801 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1802 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1803 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1806 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1807 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1809 *) Add support for SCTP.
1810 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1812 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1813 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1815 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1817 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1818 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1819 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1820 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1821 - s390x: z196 support;
1822 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1826 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1827 (removal of unnecessary code)
1828 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1830 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1833 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1836 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1837 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1838 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1840 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1842 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1843 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1844 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1845 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1846 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1848 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1849 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1850 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1852 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1853 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1854 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1856 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1857 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1859 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1861 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1862 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1863 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1866 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1867 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1871 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1872 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1873 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1876 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1877 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1878 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1879 the appropriate parameters.
1882 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1883 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1884 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1885 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1886 against a number of sample certificates.
1889 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1890 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1892 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1893 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1895 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1896 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1900 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1904 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1905 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1906 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1907 password based CMS).
1910 *) Session-handling fixes:
1911 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1912 but also support Session Tickets.
1913 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1914 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1915 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1916 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1917 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1918 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1920 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1923 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1925 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1928 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1929 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1930 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1931 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1932 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1935 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1936 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1939 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1940 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1941 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1944 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1945 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1946 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1947 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1950 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1951 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1952 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1955 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1956 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1958 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1961 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1962 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1965 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1968 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1969 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1972 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1973 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1976 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1979 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1980 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1981 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1984 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1987 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1990 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1991 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1994 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1995 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1996 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1999 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2002 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2006 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2007 FIPS modules versions.
2010 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2011 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2012 until after the certificate request message is received.
2015 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2016 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2017 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2018 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2021 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2022 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2023 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2024 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2027 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2028 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2029 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2030 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2031 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2032 and version checking.
2035 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2036 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2037 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2038 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2041 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
2042 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
2043 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
2044 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
2047 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2050 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2051 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2052 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2054 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2055 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2056 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2059 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2060 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2062 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2063 a few changes are required:
2065 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2066 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2067 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2068 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2069 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2072 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2074 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2075 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2076 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2077 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2078 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2079 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2080 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2081 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2082 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2085 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2086 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2087 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2090 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2092 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2093 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2094 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2095 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2098 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2100 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2101 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2102 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2103 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2104 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2105 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2106 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2107 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2108 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2109 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2110 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2111 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2112 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2114 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2116 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2118 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2119 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2120 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2121 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2123 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2124 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2126 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2127 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2128 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2129 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2131 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2132 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2134 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2135 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2137 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2138 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2140 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2141 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2142 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2144 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2145 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2146 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2148 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2149 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2150 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2151 the last update always remained unused).
2152 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2154 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2155 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2157 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2159 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2160 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2161 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2163 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2164 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2165 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2167 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2170 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2171 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2172 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2175 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2176 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2178 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2180 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2182 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2184 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2185 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2187 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2188 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2192 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2194 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2195 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2196 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2199 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2200 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2201 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2204 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2206 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2207 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2208 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2211 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2215 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2217 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2219 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2221 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2223 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2224 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2225 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2228 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2231 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2232 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2233 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2235 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2236 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2237 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2240 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2241 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2244 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2245 some responders need this.
2248 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2250 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2252 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2253 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2254 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2257 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2260 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2261 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2262 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2263 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2264 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2265 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2266 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2267 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2270 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2271 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2272 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2273 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2275 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2276 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2278 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2282 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2283 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2284 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2285 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2286 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2287 attempting to work them out.
2290 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2291 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2292 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2293 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2296 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2297 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2298 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2299 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2300 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2303 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2304 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2311 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2313 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2317 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2318 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2320 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2321 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2323 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2324 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2325 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2326 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2327 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2330 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2331 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2332 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2335 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2336 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2339 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2340 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2342 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2343 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2346 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2349 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2350 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2351 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2355 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2356 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2357 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2358 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2359 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2360 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2363 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2364 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2366 This work was sponsored by Google.
2369 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2370 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2371 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2372 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2373 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2374 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2375 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2378 This work was sponsored by Google.
2381 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2383 This work was sponsored by Google.
2386 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2387 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2388 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2389 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2391 This work was sponsored by Google.
2394 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2395 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2396 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2397 CRL functionality in future.
2399 This work was sponsored by Google.
2402 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2404 This work was sponsored by Google.
2407 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2408 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2410 This work was sponsored by Google.
2413 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2414 and URI types are currently supported.
2416 This work was sponsored by Google.
2419 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2420 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2421 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2422 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2423 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2424 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2425 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2426 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2428 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2429 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2430 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2432 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2433 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2434 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2435 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2437 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2438 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2439 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2440 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2441 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2442 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2443 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2444 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2446 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2448 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2449 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2450 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2452 This work was sponsored by Google.
2455 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2458 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2459 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2460 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2463 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2464 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2467 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2468 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2471 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2472 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2473 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2474 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2475 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2476 content types and variants.
2479 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2482 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2483 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2484 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2485 files from the associated perl scripts.
2488 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2489 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2490 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2492 *) s390x assembler pack.
2495 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2499 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2500 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2501 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2502 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2503 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2504 to use. For example, specify an option
2506 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2508 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2509 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2510 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2511 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2512 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2513 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2515 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2516 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2517 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2518 return non-zero for success.
2520 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2523 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2524 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2528 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2531 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2532 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2533 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2534 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2535 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2536 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2537 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2538 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2539 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2541 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2542 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2543 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2544 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2545 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2546 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2548 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2549 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2550 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2551 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2552 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2553 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2557 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2560 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2562 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2563 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2564 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2567 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2568 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2571 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2572 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2573 with no application modification.
2575 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2576 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2578 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2579 or server extensions to be examined.
2581 This work was sponsored by Google.
2584 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2585 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2586 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2588 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2589 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2590 ciphersuite support.
2591 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2593 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2594 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2595 to output in BER and PEM format.
2598 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2599 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2600 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2601 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2602 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2605 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2606 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2607 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2611 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2612 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2613 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2614 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2615 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2616 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2617 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2618 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2621 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2622 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2623 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2624 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2626 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2627 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2628 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2632 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2633 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2634 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2635 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2636 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2637 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2638 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2639 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2640 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2642 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2643 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2644 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2645 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2646 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2647 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2648 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2649 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2650 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2651 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2652 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2655 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2656 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2657 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2659 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2660 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2664 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2665 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2666 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2669 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2670 it yet and it is largely untested.
2673 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2676 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2677 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2678 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2681 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2684 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2685 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2686 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2687 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2690 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2691 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2692 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2693 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2694 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2697 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2698 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2701 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2702 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2703 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2704 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2707 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2708 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2709 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2710 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2713 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2714 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2717 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2718 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2719 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2720 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2723 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2724 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2725 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2728 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2732 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2733 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2736 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2737 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2738 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2742 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2743 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2744 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2747 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2748 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2749 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2750 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2753 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2754 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2755 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2756 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2757 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2758 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2761 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2762 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2763 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2764 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2765 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2767 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2768 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2769 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2770 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2771 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2774 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2775 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2776 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2777 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2779 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2780 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2781 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2782 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2783 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2789 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2790 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2794 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2795 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2798 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2799 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2802 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2803 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2804 functional reference processing.
2807 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2808 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2812 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2813 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2814 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2817 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2818 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2819 application to support multiple signers.
2822 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2826 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2827 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2828 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2829 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2830 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2833 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2837 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2838 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2839 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2840 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2844 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2845 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2846 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2847 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
2848 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2849 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2850 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2851 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2854 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2855 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2856 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2857 between digests and public key types.
2860 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2861 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2862 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2863 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2866 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2867 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2871 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2874 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2878 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2879 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2880 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2881 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2886 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2888 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2890 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2892 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2893 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2894 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2895 functionality for RSA.
2898 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2899 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2900 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2903 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2904 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2907 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2908 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2909 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2912 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2913 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2916 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2917 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2920 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2921 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2925 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2926 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2927 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2931 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2932 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2933 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2934 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2935 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2936 of public and private key structures.
2939 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2940 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2943 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2944 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2945 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2948 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2952 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2953 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2954 SSL_get_psk_identity
2955 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2957 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2959 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2960 and response verification functionality.
2961 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2963 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2964 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2965 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2966 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2967 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2968 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2969 server_name extension.
2971 New functions (subject to change):
2973 SSL_get_servername()
2974 SSL_get_servername_type()
2977 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2979 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2980 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2981 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2982 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2983 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2985 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2987 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2988 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2989 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2990 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2991 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2992 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2995 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2997 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3000 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3001 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3002 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3003 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3004 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3007 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3008 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3012 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3013 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3014 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3015 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3018 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3019 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3020 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3021 using the maximum available value.
3024 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3025 in addition to the text details.
3028 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3029 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3030 handle several customised structures at all.
3033 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3034 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3035 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3038 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3041 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3042 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3043 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3046 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3047 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3048 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3051 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3052 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3056 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3059 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3062 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3064 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3065 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3066 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3067 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3068 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3069 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3070 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3071 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3073 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3074 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3075 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3077 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3079 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3080 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3082 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3083 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3086 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3087 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3088 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3091 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3092 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3093 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3094 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3095 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3096 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3099 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3100 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3101 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3104 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3105 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3106 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3107 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3108 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3109 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3113 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3114 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3117 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3118 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3119 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3122 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3125 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3126 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3127 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3128 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3129 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3130 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3131 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3132 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3133 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3136 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3137 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3138 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3141 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3142 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3145 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3146 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3147 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3148 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3149 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3150 know what you are doing.
3151 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3153 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3154 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3155 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3156 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3157 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3158 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3162 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3163 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3164 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3166 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3168 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3169 warnings in other configurations.
3172 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3173 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3174 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3176 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3178 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3179 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3180 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3182 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3183 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3184 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3185 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3188 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3192 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3193 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3195 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3197 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3198 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3199 other than a simple chain.
3200 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3202 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3203 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3204 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3205 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3208 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3209 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3210 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3211 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3212 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3213 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3214 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3215 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3216 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3218 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3219 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3220 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3221 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3222 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
3223 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3225 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3227 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3228 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3231 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3232 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3235 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3237 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3239 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3240 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3241 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3242 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3243 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3247 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3249 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3250 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3251 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3252 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3254 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3255 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3256 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3257 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3259 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3260 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3261 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3264 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3265 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3269 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3270 to handle some structures.
3273 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3275 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3277 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3280 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3283 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3286 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3287 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3291 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3293 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3295 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3297 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3300 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3301 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3302 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3303 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3305 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3306 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3308 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3309 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3312 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3313 s_client and s_server.
3316 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3317 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3319 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3320 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3322 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3323 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3324 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3325 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3326 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3329 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3331 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3332 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3335 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3336 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3339 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3340 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3341 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3342 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3344 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3345 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3347 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3349 *) Various precautionary measures:
3351 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3353 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3354 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3355 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3357 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3358 outside the expected range.
3360 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3363 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3365 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3366 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3367 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3369 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3372 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3375 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3377 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3380 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3381 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3382 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3384 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3387 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3388 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3389 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3393 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3395 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3396 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3397 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3398 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3400 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3401 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3404 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3406 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3407 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3408 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3410 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3412 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3413 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3414 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3415 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3418 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3419 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3420 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3421 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3422 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3423 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3424 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3426 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3428 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3429 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3430 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3431 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3432 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3434 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3435 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3437 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3438 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3439 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3440 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3441 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3443 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3445 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3446 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3447 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3448 sets may exist with different names.
3451 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3452 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3453 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3454 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3455 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3456 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3457 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3458 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3459 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3461 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3463 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3464 implemention in the following ways:
3466 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3469 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3470 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3471 ignored for embedded content.
3473 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3474 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3477 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3478 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3479 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3480 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3482 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3483 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3486 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3487 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3490 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3491 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3492 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3493 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3494 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3495 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3499 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3500 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3501 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3505 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3506 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3507 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3508 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3509 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3510 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3511 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3512 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3514 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3515 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3516 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3517 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3518 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3519 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3520 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3522 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3523 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3524 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3525 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3526 to s_client and s_server.
3529 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3531 *) Fix various bugs:
3532 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3533 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3534 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3535 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3536 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3538 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3540 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3541 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3542 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3543 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3544 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3545 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3546 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3547 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3550 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3551 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3552 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3555 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3556 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3557 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3560 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3561 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3564 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3565 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3566 with no application modification.
3568 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3569 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3571 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3572 or server extensions to be examined.
3574 This work was sponsored by Google.
3577 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3578 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3579 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3580 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3581 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3582 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3583 server_name extension.
3585 New functions (subject to change):
3587 SSL_get_servername()
3588 SSL_get_servername_type()
3591 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3593 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3594 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3595 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3596 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3597 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3599 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3601 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3602 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3603 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3604 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3605 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3606 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3609 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3611 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3614 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3617 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3618 (which previously caused an internal error).
3621 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3624 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3625 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3627 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3628 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3629 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3631 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3632 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3633 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3634 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3636 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3637 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3638 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3639 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3641 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3642 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3643 information. For detailed background information, see
3644 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3645 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3646 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3647 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3648 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3649 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3650 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3651 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3652 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3653 remove a conditional branch.
3655 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3656 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3657 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3658 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3659 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3660 remains as a deprecated alias.
3662 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3663 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3664 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3665 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3667 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3668 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3669 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3670 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3671 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3672 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3673 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3674 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3676 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3678 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3679 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3680 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3681 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3682 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3683 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3684 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3685 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3686 in a different context.
3689 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3690 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3691 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3694 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3695 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3696 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3698 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3700 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3701 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3702 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3703 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3704 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3707 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3708 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3709 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3710 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3711 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3712 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3715 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3716 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3717 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3718 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3719 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3722 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3723 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3725 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3726 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3727 Improve header file function name parsing.
3730 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3731 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3734 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3736 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3737 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3738 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3740 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3741 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3743 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3744 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3746 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3747 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3748 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3750 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3751 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3752 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3753 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3754 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3755 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3756 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3757 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3758 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3760 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3761 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3762 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3763 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3764 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3766 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3767 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3768 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3769 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3770 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3771 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3772 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3773 multiple values to extend the available space.
3777 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3779 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3780 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3782 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3785 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3786 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3787 undesirable limitations.
3788 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3790 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3791 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3792 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3793 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3794 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3795 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3796 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3799 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3801 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3802 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3803 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3805 The latter two were purportedly from
3806 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3809 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3810 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3811 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3814 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3815 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3818 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3819 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3820 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3821 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3823 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3824 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3825 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3828 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3829 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3830 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3831 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3832 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3833 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3836 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3838 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3839 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3842 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3843 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3845 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3846 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3847 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3848 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3851 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3852 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3855 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3856 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3857 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3858 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3859 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3860 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3861 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3865 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3866 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3867 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3868 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3871 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3872 under VC++ build system.
3875 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3876 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3879 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3881 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3882 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3883 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3884 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3885 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3887 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3888 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3889 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3891 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3894 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3895 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3898 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3899 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3901 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3904 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3905 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3907 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3908 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3911 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3912 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3916 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3918 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3921 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3924 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3925 key into the same file any more.
3928 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3931 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3932 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3934 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3935 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3938 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3939 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3940 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3941 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3942 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3943 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3945 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3946 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3947 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3950 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3951 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3952 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3953 - add new function for parameter creation
3954 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3955 BN_BLINDING parameters
3956 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3957 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3958 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3962 *) Add support for DTLS.
3963 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3965 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3966 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3969 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3970 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3973 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3974 the apps/openssl applications.
3977 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3978 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3979 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3982 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3983 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3985 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3986 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3988 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3989 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3990 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3991 avoid this algorithm.)
3995 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3996 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3997 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4000 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4001 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4004 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4005 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4006 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4009 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4011 The blank line is mandatory.
4015 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4016 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4020 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4021 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4023 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4024 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4025 to support policy checking and print out.
4028 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4029 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4030 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4031 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4033 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4036 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4037 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4039 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4040 implementation contributed by IBM.
4041 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4043 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4044 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4045 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4046 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4048 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4049 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4051 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4052 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4053 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4054 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4055 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4056 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4059 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4060 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4061 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4062 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4063 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4064 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4065 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4068 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4071 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4072 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4073 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4074 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4075 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4076 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4077 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4078 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4081 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4082 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4083 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4084 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4087 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4090 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4093 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4094 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4095 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4096 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4097 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4098 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4099 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4102 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4103 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4106 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4107 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4108 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4111 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4112 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4113 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4117 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4118 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4121 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4122 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4123 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4124 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4127 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4128 initialised value as BN_new().
4129 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4131 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4134 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4135 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4136 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4137 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4138 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4139 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4140 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4141 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4142 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4143 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4144 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4145 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4146 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4147 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4148 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4150 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4151 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4152 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4153 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4156 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4157 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4158 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4159 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4160 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4161 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4162 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4163 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4164 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4167 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4168 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4169 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4170 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4171 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4172 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4173 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4176 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4177 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4178 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4179 these have been updated also.
4182 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4183 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4184 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4185 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4186 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4190 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4191 structure of type "other".
4194 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4195 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4196 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4197 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4198 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4199 situation in the script.
4200 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4202 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4203 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4204 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4205 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4206 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4207 used as premaster secret.
4208 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4210 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4211 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4212 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4214 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4215 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4217 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4218 control of the error stack.
4221 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4224 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4225 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4226 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4227 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4230 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4231 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4232 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4235 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4236 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4237 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4241 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4242 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4243 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4244 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4247 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4248 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4249 the following flags are defined:
4251 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4252 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4253 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4256 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4257 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4258 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4259 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4263 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4264 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4265 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4266 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4267 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4270 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4271 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4272 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4275 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4276 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4277 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4278 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4279 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4280 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4283 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4287 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4290 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4293 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4296 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4297 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4298 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4299 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4300 default implementation more easily.
4303 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4307 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4308 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4311 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4312 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4313 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4314 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4316 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4317 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4318 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4319 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4322 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4323 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4327 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4328 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4329 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4330 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4331 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4332 scalar * generator).
4333 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4335 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4336 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4337 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4341 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4342 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4343 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4344 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4345 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4346 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4347 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4348 linker additions, eg;
4349 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4352 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4353 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4354 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4357 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4358 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4359 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4363 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4364 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4365 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4366 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4369 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4370 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4371 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4372 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4373 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4374 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4375 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4376 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4377 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4378 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4380 Example for using the new callback interface:
4382 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4386 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4388 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4389 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4390 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4391 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4392 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4393 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4398 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4399 available to TLS with the number defined in
4400 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4403 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4404 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4406 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4407 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4408 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4409 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4411 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4412 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4414 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4415 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4419 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4420 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4423 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4424 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4425 and a macro that behave like
4426 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4428 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4431 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4432 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4433 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4435 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4437 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4440 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4441 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4442 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4443 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4445 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4446 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4447 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4448 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4449 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4450 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4451 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4452 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4454 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4455 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
4458 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4459 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4461 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4462 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4463 files while avoiding the low level API.
4465 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4466 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4467 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4468 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4470 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4471 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4472 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4473 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4474 instead of the low level API.
4477 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4478 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4479 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4480 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4481 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4484 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4485 down to the template encoder.
4488 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4489 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4492 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4493 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4494 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4495 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4497 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4498 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4500 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4501 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4503 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4504 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4507 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4508 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4509 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4512 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4513 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4515 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4516 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4518 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4519 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4522 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4526 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4527 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4528 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4529 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4530 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4531 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4533 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4534 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4537 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4538 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4539 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4540 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4541 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4542 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4543 various internal method names.)
4545 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4546 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4548 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4549 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4551 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4552 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4554 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4555 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4556 methods are undefined.
4558 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4559 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4561 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4562 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4563 length of the modulus.
4565 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4566 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4568 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4569 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4571 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4572 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4574 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4575 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4576 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4579 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4580 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4581 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4582 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4584 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4585 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4586 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4587 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4589 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4590 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4592 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4593 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4594 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4595 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4596 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4598 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4599 This applies to the following functions:
4604 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4605 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4607 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4608 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4612 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4617 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4619 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4620 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4621 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4622 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4623 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4625 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4626 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4628 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4629 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4630 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4632 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4633 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4635 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4636 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4637 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4638 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4639 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4641 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4643 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4644 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4645 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4646 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4647 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4648 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4649 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4650 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4651 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4652 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4653 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4654 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4656 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4659 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4660 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4661 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4662 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4664 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4665 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4666 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4667 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4672 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4673 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4674 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4675 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4676 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4678 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4679 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4680 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4681 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4682 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4683 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4684 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4685 adding different types of curves.
4686 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4688 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4689 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4690 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4693 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4694 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4696 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4697 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4698 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4699 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4701 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4703 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4704 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4706 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4707 library. Most notably,
4708 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4709 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4710 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4711 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4712 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4713 extracted before the specific public key;
4714 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4715 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4717 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4718 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4720 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4721 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4722 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4723 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4725 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4726 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4727 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4729 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4730 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4731 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4732 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4733 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4734 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4738 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4740 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4742 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4744 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4745 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4746 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4749 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4750 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4751 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4754 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4757 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4758 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4761 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4762 run algorithm test programs.
4765 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4768 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4769 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4770 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4771 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4772 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4775 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4776 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4779 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4781 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4782 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4783 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4785 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4786 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4788 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4789 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4791 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4792 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4793 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4795 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4796 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4797 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4798 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4799 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4800 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4801 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4804 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4806 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4807 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4809 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4810 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4811 undesirable limitations.
4812 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4814 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4816 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4817 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4818 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4820 The latter two were purportedly from
4821 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4824 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4825 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4826 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4829 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4830 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4833 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4835 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4836 module in FIPS mode.
4839 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4842 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4843 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4844 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4845 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4848 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4850 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4851 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4852 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4853 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4854 the difference induced by this change.
4857 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4859 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4860 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4861 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4862 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4863 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4865 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4866 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4867 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4869 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4870 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4873 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4874 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4875 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4876 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4880 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4881 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4882 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4883 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4884 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4886 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4887 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4888 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4889 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4890 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4891 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4893 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4895 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4896 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4897 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4898 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4899 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4902 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4906 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4907 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4908 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4911 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4912 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4913 structures constant.
4916 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4918 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4921 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4922 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4923 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4924 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4925 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4926 some needed definitions.
4929 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4932 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4933 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4934 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4935 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4938 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4940 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4941 server and client random values. Previously
4942 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4943 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4945 This change has negligible security impact because:
4947 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4950 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4953 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4954 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4957 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4960 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4962 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4965 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4966 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4967 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4969 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4972 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4973 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4976 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4977 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4978 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4980 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4983 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4984 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4985 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4989 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4990 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4991 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4992 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4994 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4995 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4996 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4997 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5001 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5003 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5004 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5005 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5006 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5007 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5010 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5013 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5014 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5016 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5017 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5018 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5019 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5020 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5021 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5022 rather than being initialized to 1.
5025 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5027 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5028 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5029 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5031 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5033 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5035 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5036 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5037 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5038 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5039 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5040 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5043 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5044 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5045 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5046 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5047 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5051 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5052 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5053 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5054 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5055 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5058 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5059 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5060 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5064 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5065 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5067 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5070 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5072 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5074 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5075 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5077 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5079 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5080 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5084 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5085 exiting on the first error in a request.
5088 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5089 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5093 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5094 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5095 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5096 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5098 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5099 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5102 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5103 blocks during encryption.
5106 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5107 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5108 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5109 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5113 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5114 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5115 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5116 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5117 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5121 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5123 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5124 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5125 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5126 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5129 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5130 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5131 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5132 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5133 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5135 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5136 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5137 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5138 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5139 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5140 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5141 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5142 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5143 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5146 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5147 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5148 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5149 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5152 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5153 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5156 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5158 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5159 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5160 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5161 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5162 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5164 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5165 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5166 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5168 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5169 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5170 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5171 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5172 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5174 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5175 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5176 used by default when no-err is given.
5179 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5180 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5182 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5183 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5184 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5185 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5186 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5188 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5189 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5190 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5191 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5193 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5195 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5197 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5199 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5200 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5201 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5202 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5206 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5207 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5209 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5210 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5213 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5214 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5215 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5216 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5219 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5220 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5221 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5222 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5223 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5224 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5225 followup to PR #377.
5228 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5229 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5232 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5233 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5234 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5235 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5237 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5239 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5242 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5243 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5244 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5245 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5247 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5251 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5252 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5256 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5257 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5258 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5259 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5260 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5261 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5263 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5264 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5265 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5266 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5267 have to be made anyway).
5270 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5271 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5272 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5275 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5276 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5277 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5280 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5281 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5282 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5284 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5285 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5286 edit numbers of the version.
5287 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5289 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5290 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5291 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5293 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5294 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5296 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5297 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5300 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5301 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5303 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5304 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5306 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5307 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5309 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5310 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5312 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5316 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5317 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5318 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5320 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5321 representations in a platform independent manner.
5322 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5324 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5325 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5326 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5328 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5332 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5333 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5335 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5337 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5339 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5340 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5341 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5343 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5347 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5348 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5350 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5353 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5354 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5356 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5357 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5359 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5361 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5363 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5364 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5366 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5367 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5369 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5370 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5372 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5374 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5375 the 0.9.6 release series:
5377 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5378 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5380 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5382 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5385 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5386 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5388 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5389 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5391 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5392 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5393 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5394 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5396 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5397 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5398 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5400 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5401 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5402 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5403 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5405 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5406 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5407 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5410 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5411 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5412 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5413 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5414 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5415 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5416 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5417 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5420 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5421 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
5422 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5425 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5426 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5427 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5428 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5429 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5431 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5432 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5434 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5435 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5438 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5439 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5440 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5441 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5442 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5443 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5446 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5447 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5448 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5451 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5452 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5455 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5456 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5457 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5458 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5459 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5460 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5461 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5464 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5465 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5466 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5467 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5468 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5469 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5472 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5473 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5474 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5475 declaration has been changed from
5478 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5479 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5480 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5481 has been changed into
5482 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5484 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5485 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5486 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5488 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5489 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5491 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5492 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5493 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5494 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5495 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5496 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5497 always load it have also been added.
5500 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5501 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5502 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5504 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5506 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5507 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5508 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5510 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5511 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5512 command line option can be used to specify an
5516 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5517 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5520 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5521 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5522 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5525 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5526 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5527 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5528 to work with the new engine framework.
5529 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5531 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5532 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5533 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5534 to work with the new engine framework.
5537 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5538 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5539 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5541 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5542 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5544 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5545 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5546 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5547 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5549 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5551 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5552 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5554 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5555 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5557 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5558 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5559 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5562 *) Add new functions
5564 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5565 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5566 These are similar to
5569 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5570 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5571 still in the error queue.
5572 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5574 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5576 default_algorithms = ALL
5577 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5580 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
5583 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5586 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5587 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5588 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5589 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5591 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5592 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5594 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5595 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5597 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5598 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5601 *) New functions/macros
5603 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5604 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5605 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5606 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5608 to request calling a callback function
5610 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5611 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5613 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5614 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5615 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5616 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5617 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5618 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5619 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5620 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5621 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5622 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5624 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5625 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5628 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5629 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5630 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5631 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5632 the configuration scripts.
5634 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5635 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5636 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5638 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5639 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5641 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5642 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5643 when reusing an existing buffer.
5646 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5647 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5650 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5651 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5654 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5655 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5656 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5657 has the same effect.
5658 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5660 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5661 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5662 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5663 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5664 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5665 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5668 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5669 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5670 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5671 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5673 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5674 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5675 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5676 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5678 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5679 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5682 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5683 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5684 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5685 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5686 default), and then completely removed.
5689 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5690 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5691 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5692 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5693 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5694 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5695 particular extension is supported.
5698 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5699 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5702 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5703 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5704 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5705 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5706 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5707 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5708 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5709 requires the destination to be valid.
5711 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5712 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5715 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5716 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5717 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5720 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5721 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5723 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5724 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5725 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5726 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5727 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5728 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5729 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5730 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5731 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5732 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5733 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5734 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5735 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5736 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5737 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5738 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5739 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5740 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5741 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5745 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5748 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5749 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5750 become part of libeay.num as well.
5753 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5754 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5755 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5756 false once a handshake has been completed.
5757 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5758 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5759 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5760 client has followed the request.)
5763 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5764 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5765 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5766 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5768 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5769 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5770 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5773 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5776 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5777 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5778 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5781 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5782 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5785 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5786 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5787 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5788 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5791 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5792 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5793 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5794 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5795 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5796 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5799 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5800 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5801 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5802 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5803 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5804 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5805 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5806 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5809 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5810 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5813 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5816 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5817 md_data void pointer.
5820 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5821 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5822 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5823 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5824 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5825 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5828 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5829 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5830 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5831 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5832 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5833 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5834 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5835 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5836 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5837 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5838 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5839 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5840 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5841 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5842 rather than letting it slide.
5844 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5845 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5846 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5849 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5850 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5851 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5852 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5853 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5854 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5855 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5856 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5857 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5860 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5861 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5862 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5863 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5864 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5866 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5869 *) Add EVP test program.
5872 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5875 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5876 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5877 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5878 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5879 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5882 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5883 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5884 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5885 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5886 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5887 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5888 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5890 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5891 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5892 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5897 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5898 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5899 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5900 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5901 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5905 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5906 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5907 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5908 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5911 des_key_schedule ks;
5913 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5914 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5916 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5919 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5920 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5921 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5922 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5923 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5924 functions prevents this.
5927 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5930 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5931 correct _ecb suffix.
5934 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5935 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5936 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5937 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5938 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5941 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5944 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5945 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5946 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5947 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5949 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5950 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5952 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5953 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5954 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5955 via Richard Levitte]
5957 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5958 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5959 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5960 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5963 *) Speed up EVP routines.

5981 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5982 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5984 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5985 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5986 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5987 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5988 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5989 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5992 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5993 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5996 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5997 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5998 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5999 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6001 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6002 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6003 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6004 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6005 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6006 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6010 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6011 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6012 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6013 and interrupts/cancellations.
6016 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6017 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6020 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6021 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6022 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6024 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6025 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6029 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6030 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6031 than this minimum value is recommended.
6034 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6035 that are easily reachable.
6038 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6039 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6041 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6043 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6044 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6045 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6046 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6049 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6050 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6051 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6054 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6055 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6056 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6057 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6058 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6059 internally such as S/MIME.
6061 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6062 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6063 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6065 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6069 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6070 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6071 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6072 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6074 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6076 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6078 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6079 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6080 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6084 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6085 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6086 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6087 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6088 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6089 a window system and the like.
6092 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6093 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6096 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6097 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6098 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6099 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6100 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6101 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6102 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6103 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6104 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6108 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6109 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6113 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6114 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6115 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6116 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6117 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6118 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6119 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6120 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6123 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6124 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6125 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6126 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6127 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6128 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6129 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6130 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6131 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6132 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6133 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6134 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6135 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6136 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6137 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6138 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6139 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6142 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6143 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6144 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6145 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6146 internal engine_int.h header.
6149 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6150 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6151 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6152 modify their own ones).
6155 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6156 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6157 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6158 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6159 later on via ctrl() commands.
6160 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6161 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6162 structural references.
6163 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6164 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6165 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6166 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6167 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6168 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6169 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6170 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6171 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6172 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6173 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6174 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6177 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6178 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6179 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6180 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6181 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6182 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6183 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6184 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6187 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6188 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6191 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6192 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6195 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6196 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6197 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6198 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6199 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6200 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6201 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6204 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6205 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6206 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6207 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6208 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6210 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6211 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6215 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6217 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6218 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6219 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6221 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6222 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6224 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6225 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6226 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6228 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6229 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6231 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6232 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6234 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6236 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6237 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6238 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6241 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6242 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6245 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6246 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6247 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6248 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6249 is 40 of more characters long.
6252 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6253 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6257 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6258 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6261 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6262 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6266 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6268 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6269 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6272 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6274 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6275 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6276 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6278 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6279 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6281 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6284 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6288 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6289 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6290 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6291 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6293 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6295 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6296 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6298 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6299 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6300 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6301 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6302 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6303 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6305 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6306 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6308 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6309 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6311 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6312 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6314 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6315 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6316 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6317 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6319 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6320 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6322 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6323 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6325 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6326 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6327 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6328 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6329 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6332 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6333 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6334 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6335 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6338 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6339 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6340 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6344 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6345 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6346 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6347 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6348 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6349 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6350 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6351 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6355 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6356 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6359 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6360 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6361 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6362 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6365 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6366 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6367 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6368 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6369 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6370 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6371 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6372 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6373 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6374 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6377 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6378 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6379 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6380 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6381 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6382 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6383 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6384 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6386 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6387 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6388 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6389 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6392 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6393 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6394 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6395 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6397 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6398 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6399 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6400 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6401 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6405 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6406 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6407 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6408 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6412 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6413 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6414 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6417 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6418 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6419 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6420 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6421 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6424 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6427 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6428 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6429 option to ocsp utility.
6432 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6433 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6434 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6435 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6436 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6437 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6438 the request is nonce-less.
6441 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6442 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6443 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6446 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6447 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6448 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6451 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6452 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6453 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6454 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6455 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6458 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6459 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6463 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6464 additional certificates supplied.
6467 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6468 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6472 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6473 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6476 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6477 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6478 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6479 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6480 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6481 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6482 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6483 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6484 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6486 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6487 request to response.
6490 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6491 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6492 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6493 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6494 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6495 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6496 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6497 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6498 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6499 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6500 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6503 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6504 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6505 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6506 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6509 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6510 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6512 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6513 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6514 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6517 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6518 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6519 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6520 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6521 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6523 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6524 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6525 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6528 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6529 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6530 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6531 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6532 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6533 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6534 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6535 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6537 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6538 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6539 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6540 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6541 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6542 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6545 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6546 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6547 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6548 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6549 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6550 printout format cleaned up.
6553 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6554 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6555 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6556 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6557 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6558 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6559 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6560 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6563 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6564 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6565 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6566 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6567 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6568 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6569 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6570 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6573 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6574 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6575 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6576 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6578 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6580 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6581 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6582 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6583 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6586 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6587 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6588 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6589 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6591 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6593 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6594 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6595 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6596 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6598 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6599 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6601 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6602 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6603 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6606 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6607 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6608 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6611 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6612 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6613 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6614 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6615 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6616 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6617 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6618 functions are provided:
6620 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6621 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6622 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6623 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6625 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6626 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6627 extended allocation function is enabled.
6628 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6629 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6630 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6632 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6633 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6634 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6635 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6636 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6639 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6640 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6641 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6643 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6644 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6645 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6648 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6649 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6650 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6651 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6652 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6653 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6654 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6655 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6656 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6659 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6660 provide utility functions which an application needing
6661 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6662 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6663 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6665 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6666 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6667 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6668 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6669 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6670 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6671 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6672 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6673 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6675 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6676 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6677 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6678 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6681 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6682 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6683 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6684 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6685 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6686 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6687 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6688 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6689 will be added elsewhere.
6692 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6693 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6694 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6695 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6698 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6699 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6700 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6701 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6702 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6703 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6704 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6705 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6706 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6707 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6708 to produce the required SET OF.
6711 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6712 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6713 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6716 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6717 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6718 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6719 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6720 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6721 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6724 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6725 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6726 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6729 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6730 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6731 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6734 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6735 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6736 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6737 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6738 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6741 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6742 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6745 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6746 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6747 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6748 certifcates and CRLs.
6751 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6752 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6753 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6756 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6757 entries for variables.
6760 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6761 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6762 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6763 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6766 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6767 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6768 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6769 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6770 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6771 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6774 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6775 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6777 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6778 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6779 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6782 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6786 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6787 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6788 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6789 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6790 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6791 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6794 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6797 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6798 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6799 for now but they will eventually go away.
6802 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6803 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6804 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6805 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6806 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6807 has also been converted to the new form.
6810 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6811 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6812 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6813 for negative moduli.
6816 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6817 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6820 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6824 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6825 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6826 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6827 type-specific callbacks.
6830 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6832 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6833 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6835 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6836 in sections depending on the subject.
6839 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6843 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6844 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6845 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6846 be handled deterministically).
6847 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6849 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6850 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6851 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6854 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6857 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6858 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6859 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6860 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6861 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6864 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6865 sign of the number in question.
6867 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6869 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6870 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6871 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6872 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6873 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6876 *) New function BN_swap.
6879 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6880 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6881 results on negative inputs.
6884 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6885 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6886 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6889 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6890 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6891 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6892 and add new functions:
6901 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6905 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6907 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6908 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6910 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6911 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6912 be reduced modulo m.
6913 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6916 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6917 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6918 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6920 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6921 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6922 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6923 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6924 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6925 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6930 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6931 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6932 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6933 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6934 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6936 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6937 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6938 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6942 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6945 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6946 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6949 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6950 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6951 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6952 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6956 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6959 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6962 *) Add the following functions:
6964 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6966 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6968 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6970 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6971 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6972 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6973 libraries unless it's really needed.
6975 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6976 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6977 declarations (they differed!).
6980 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6983 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6986 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6989 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6990 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6993 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6994 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6995 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6997 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6998 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7001 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7004 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7007 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7010 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7011 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7012 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7014 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7015 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7016 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7017 different shared library filenames on each system.
7020 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7023 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7024 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7025 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7027 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7030 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7031 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7032 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7033 binary backward compatibility.
7034 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7035 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7036 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7040 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7041 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7042 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7043 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7047 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7050 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7051 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7052 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7053 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7057 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7060 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7062 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7063 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7064 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7066 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7068 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7070 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7071 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7074 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7076 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7078 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7079 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7081 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7082 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7086 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7087 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7091 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7092 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7093 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7094 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7096 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7097 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7100 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7102 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7103 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7104 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7105 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7108 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7109 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7110 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7111 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7112 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7114 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7115 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7116 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7117 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7118 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7119 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7120 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7121 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7122 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7125 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7127 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7128 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7129 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7130 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7131 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7133 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7134 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7135 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7137 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7139 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7140 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7141 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7142 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7143 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7144 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7147 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7148 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7149 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7150 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7151 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7154 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7155 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7156 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7158 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7159 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7160 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7164 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7165 being properly terminated.
7168 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7169 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7170 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7171 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7173 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7174 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7175 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7176 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7177 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7178 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7179 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7181 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7183 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7184 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7187 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7188 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7189 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7190 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7191 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7192 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7193 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7194 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7196 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7197 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7198 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7199 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7200 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7202 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7203 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7206 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7208 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7209 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7210 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7212 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7214 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7215 and get fix the header length calculation.
7216 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7217 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7220 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7221 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7222 assertions could call abort()).
7223 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7225 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7227 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7228 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7229 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7231 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7233 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7234 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7235 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7238 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7242 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7243 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7244 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7246 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7247 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7248 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7249 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7250 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7254 *) Changes in security patch:
7256 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7257 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7258 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7261 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7262 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7263 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7264 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7265 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7267 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7269 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7271 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7272 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7273 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7275 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7276 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7279 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7280 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7283 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7285 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7286 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7287 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7289 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7290 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7292 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7293 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7294 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7295 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7296 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7297 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7300 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7301 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7302 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7303 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7306 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7309 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7310 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7311 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7312 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7313 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7314 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7316 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7317 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7318 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7319 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7320 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7323 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7324 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7325 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7326 BN_generate_prime().)
7328 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7329 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7330 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7334 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7335 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7338 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7339 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7340 when using non-blocking I/O.
7341 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7343 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7344 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7346 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7347 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7350 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7351 configuration for the versions before that.
7352 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7354 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7355 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7356 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7357 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7360 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7361 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7362 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7365 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7369 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7370 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7371 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7373 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7374 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7376 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7377 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7378 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7379 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7380 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7381 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7382 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7385 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7386 using a local variable.
7387 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7389 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7390 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7391 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7393 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7396 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7397 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7399 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7400 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7401 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7403 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7405 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7406 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7407 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7408 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7411 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7415 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7416 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7417 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7418 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7419 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7421 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7422 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7423 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7425 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7426 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7427 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7429 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7430 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7431 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7432 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7434 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7435 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7436 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7438 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7440 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7441 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7443 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7445 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7446 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7447 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7448 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7450 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7451 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7452 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7453 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7455 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7456 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7458 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7459 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7460 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7463 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7464 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7465 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7467 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7469 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7470 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7471 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7472 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7473 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7474 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7475 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7478 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7479 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7480 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7481 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7483 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7484 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7485 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7486 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7487 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7488 the client will at least see that alert.
7491 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7495 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7496 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7497 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7499 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7500 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
7501 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7502 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7505 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7506 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7507 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7509 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7510 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7511 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7512 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7513 may leak via logfiles.)
7515 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7516 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7517 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7518 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7522 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7523 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7526 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7527 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7528 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7529 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7530 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7533 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7534 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7536 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7537 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7538 followed by modular reduction.
7539 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7541 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7542 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7545 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7546 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7547 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7548 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7551 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7554 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7555 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7558 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7559 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7560 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7561 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7562 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7563 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7565 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7567 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7568 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7569 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7570 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7571 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7573 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7576 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7577 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7578 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7579 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7580 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7581 to allow the necessary settings.
7584 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7585 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7586 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7587 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7590 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7591 dh->length and always used
7593 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7595 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7596 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7597 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7598 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7599 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7604 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7606 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7612 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7613 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7614 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7615 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7617 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7618 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7619 always reject numbers >= n.
7622 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7623 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7624 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7625 variable) is not atomic.
7628 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7629 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7630 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7631 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7633 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7634 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7636 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7638 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7640 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7643 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7645 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7646 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7647 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7648 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7649 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7650 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7651 to traverse all of 'state'.
7653 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7654 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7655 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7657 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7658 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7660 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7661 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7662 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7663 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7664 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7665 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7666 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7667 further strengthens the PRNG.
7670 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7673 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7674 an error message in this case.
7677 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7680 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7681 positive and less than q.
7684 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7685 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7687 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7689 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7690 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7694 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7696 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7697 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7698 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7699 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7700 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7701 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7702 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7705 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7706 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7707 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7708 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7710 Both problems are now fixed.
7713 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7714 (previously it was 1024).
7717 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7718 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7721 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7724 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7725 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7726 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7729 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7730 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7731 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7732 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7733 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7734 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7735 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7736 environment variables.
7738 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7739 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7740 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7743 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7744 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7745 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7746 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7747 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7748 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7751 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7755 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7757 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7758 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7760 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7761 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7762 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7763 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7767 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7768 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7769 amount of data available.
7770 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7771 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7773 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7774 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7775 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7776 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7779 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7780 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7784 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7785 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7786 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7787 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7790 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7793 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7796 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7797 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7799 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7801 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7802 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7803 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7804 (but broken) behaviour.
7807 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7809 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7811 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7812 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7815 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7819 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7820 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7822 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7825 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7826 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7827 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7829 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7830 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7831 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7834 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7835 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7838 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7839 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7841 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7843 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7845 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7846 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7847 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7848 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7851 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7854 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7855 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7856 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7858 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7861 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7863 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7864 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7865 but the code is actually correct.
7868 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7869 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7870 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7871 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7872 and leaves the highest bit random.
7873 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7875 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7876 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7877 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7878 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7879 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7880 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7881 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7884 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7887 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7888 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7891 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7892 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7893 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7894 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7898 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7899 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7900 and break the signature.
7902 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7904 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7908 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7909 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7910 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7911 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7912 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7915 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7916 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7918 *) ./config script fixes.
7919 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7921 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7924 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7925 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7926 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7927 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7928 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7930 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7931 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7934 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7935 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7938 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7939 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7940 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7941 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7943 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7944 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7946 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7947 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7948 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7949 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7950 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7952 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7955 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7958 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7961 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7964 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7965 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7968 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7969 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7970 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7971 result of the server certificate verification.)
7974 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7975 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7976 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7980 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7981 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7982 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7983 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7984 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7985 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7986 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7987 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7990 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7991 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7992 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7993 happening the other way round.
7996 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7997 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8000 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8001 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8002 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8003 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8006 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8007 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8009 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8011 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8012 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8013 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8016 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8018 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8020 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8024 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8026 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8027 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8028 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8029 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8030 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8032 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8033 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
8037 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8040 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8042 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8043 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8044 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8045 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8046 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8047 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8048 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8049 by the Finished messages.
8052 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8053 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8055 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8056 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8057 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8058 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8059 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8063 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8064 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8065 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8066 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8067 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8068 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8069 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8070 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8071 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8075 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8076 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8077 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8078 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8080 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8081 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8082 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8083 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8084 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8087 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8088 been tested well enough.
8091 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8092 it can return incorrect results.
8093 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8094 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8097 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8098 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8099 include zero length content when signing messages.
8102 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8103 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8106 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8109 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8113 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8114 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8115 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8116 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8117 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8118 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8121 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8122 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8124 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8125 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8127 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8128 random number < q in the DSA library.
8131 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8132 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8133 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8134 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8135 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8136 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8137 just makes things more complicated.)
8140 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8144 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8145 work better on such systems.
8146 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8148 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8149 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8150 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8153 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8154 if there was more than one signature.
8155 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8157 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8158 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
8159 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8160 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8163 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8164 rather than always using the current time.
8167 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8168 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8169 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8170 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8171 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8172 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8174 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8175 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8177 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8179 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8180 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8181 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8182 the same hash value.
8184 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8185 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8186 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8187 with X509_STORE internally.
8189 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8190 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8192 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8193 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8194 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8195 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8196 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8197 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8198 entirely (maybe later...).
8200 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8202 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8203 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8204 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8205 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8206 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8207 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8208 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8209 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8211 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8212 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8214 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8215 to customise the verify behaviour.
8218 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8219 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8222 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8223 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8224 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8225 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8226 request is improperly encoded.
8229 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8230 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8233 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8234 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8236 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8237 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8241 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8242 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8243 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8246 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8247 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8248 BIO/fp routines also added.
8251 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8252 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8254 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8255 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8256 demos/state_machine.
8259 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8260 generation and verification.
8263 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8264 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8265 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8266 encode and decode it manually.
8269 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8271 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8273 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8274 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8275 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8276 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8278 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8279 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8280 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8281 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8282 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8285 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8288 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8289 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8290 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8292 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8293 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8294 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8295 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8296 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8297 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8298 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8299 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8301 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8302 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8304 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8306 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8307 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8308 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8312 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8313 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8314 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8315 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8319 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8321 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8324 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8325 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8326 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8327 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8328 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8329 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8330 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8331 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8332 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8333 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8334 short or long names are found.
8337 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8338 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8340 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8341 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8342 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8343 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8345 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8346 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8347 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8348 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8351 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8352 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8353 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8356 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8357 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8358 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8359 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8360 to allow the various flags to be set.
8363 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8364 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8365 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8366 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8367 dates to be checked.
8370 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8371 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8372 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8375 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8376 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8377 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8380 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8381 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8384 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8385 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8386 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8387 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8388 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8389 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8392 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8393 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8397 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8401 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8402 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8403 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8404 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8405 form signing output easier to verify.
8408 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8411 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8412 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8413 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8414 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8415 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8416 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8417 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8418 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8419 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8420 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8423 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8425 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8426 the syntax given in objects.README.
8427 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8429 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8432 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8433 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8434 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8435 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8436 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8437 consistent name changes.
8440 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8443 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8444 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8445 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8446 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8449 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8450 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8451 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8455 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8456 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8457 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8458 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8461 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8462 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8463 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8464 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8465 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8466 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8467 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8468 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8469 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8470 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8471 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8474 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8475 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8476 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8477 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
8478 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8479 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8480 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8481 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8482 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8483 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8486 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8487 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8488 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8489 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8491 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8492 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8493 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8494 omit any duplicate addresses.
8497 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8498 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8501 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8502 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8503 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8504 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8505 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8508 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8510 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8511 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8512 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8513 Free => OPENSSL_free
8516 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8517 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8520 *) CygWin32 support.
8521 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8523 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8524 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8525 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8526 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8527 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8531 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8532 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8533 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8534 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8535 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8536 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8537 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8540 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8541 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8542 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8543 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8544 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8545 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8546 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8547 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8548 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8549 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8550 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8553 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8554 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8555 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8556 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8557 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8559 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8560 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8561 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8562 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8563 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8565 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8568 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8569 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8570 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8571 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8573 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8575 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8578 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8579 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8580 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8583 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8584 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8585 any installed hardware versions can.
8588 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8589 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8590 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8594 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8595 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8596 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8597 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8598 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8600 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8601 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8604 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8605 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8608 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8609 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8610 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8614 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8617 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8618 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8619 but no ssl client purpose.
8620 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8622 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8623 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8624 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8625 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8626 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8627 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8628 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8629 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8630 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8631 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8632 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8635 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8636 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8637 be obtained from the error queue.
8640 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8641 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8642 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8643 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8646 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8649 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8650 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8651 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8652 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8653 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8656 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8657 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8658 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8659 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8660 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8663 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8664 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8665 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8667 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8669 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8670 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8671 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8672 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8673 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8674 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8675 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8676 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8677 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8678 or "the configuration storage API"...
8680 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8682 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8683 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8685 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8687 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8689 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8690 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8691 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8692 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8693 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8694 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8695 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8697 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8698 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8701 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8702 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8703 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8704 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8707 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8708 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8709 them in a portable way.
8710 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8712 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8714 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8716 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8717 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8719 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8720 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8721 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8724 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8725 was larger than the MD block size.
8726 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8728 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8729 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8730 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8731 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8735 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8736 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8737 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8739 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8741 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8743 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8744 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8745 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8746 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8747 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8748 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8750 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8751 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8753 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8754 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8757 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8760 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8761 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8763 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8764 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8765 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8766 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8769 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8770 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8771 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8772 does not suppress any output.
8775 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8776 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8777 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8778 with all the associated security issues.
8780 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8781 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8782 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8783 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8784 use the value in the default purpose.
8787 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8788 and fix a memory leak.
8791 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8792 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8793 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8794 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8797 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8798 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8799 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8800 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8803 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8804 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8805 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8808 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8809 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8812 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8813 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8817 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8818 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8821 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8822 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8823 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8826 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8827 number generation fails.
8830 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8833 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8834 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8836 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8839 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8840 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8842 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8843 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8845 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8847 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8848 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8851 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8852 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8854 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8855 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8858 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8859 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8860 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8861 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8862 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8863 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8865 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8866 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8867 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8871 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8872 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8873 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8874 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8875 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8876 counter, some don't.)
8877 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8878 counters or duplicate objects.
8881 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8882 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8885 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8886 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8887 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8889 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8890 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8891 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8895 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8896 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8899 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8900 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8901 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8905 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8906 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8907 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8910 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8911 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8912 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8913 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8914 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8915 should work without changes.
8918 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8919 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8920 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8921 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8922 must be defined. E.g.,
8923 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8924 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8925 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8926 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8928 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8932 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8933 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8934 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8937 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8938 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8939 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8940 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8943 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8944 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8945 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8946 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8947 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8948 is prompted for as usual.
8951 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8952 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8953 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8954 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8956 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8957 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8958 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8959 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8962 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8965 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8969 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8972 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8975 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8979 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8982 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8985 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8986 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8989 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8990 options to produce them.
8993 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8994 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8997 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9001 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9002 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9003 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9004 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9005 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9006 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9007 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9010 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9013 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9014 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9015 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9018 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9019 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9021 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9022 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9025 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9026 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9027 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9031 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9032 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9034 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9035 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9036 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9037 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9038 generation becomes much faster.
9040 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9041 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9042 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9043 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9044 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9045 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9046 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9047 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9048 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9049 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9052 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9053 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9054 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9055 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9056 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9057 trial division stage.
9060 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9064 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9067 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9070 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9071 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9072 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9076 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9077 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9078 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9081 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9082 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9083 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9084 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9086 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9087 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9090 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9093 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9094 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9095 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9096 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9099 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9100 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9101 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9104 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9105 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9106 (instead of parameters) in future.
9109 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9110 when a new cipher list is set.
9113 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9114 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9117 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9118 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9119 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9121 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9122 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9123 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9124 an error is flagged.
9126 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9127 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9128 the readability was also increased :-)
9129 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9131 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9132 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9133 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9134 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9138 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9139 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9142 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9143 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9144 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
9145 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9148 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9149 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9150 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9151 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9152 because they handle more complex structures.)
9155 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9156 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9157 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9158 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9160 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9161 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9162 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9163 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9164 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9165 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9166 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9169 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9170 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9171 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9172 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9173 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9176 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9179 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9180 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9181 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9182 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9183 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9186 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9190 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9191 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9192 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9193 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9196 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9199 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9200 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9201 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9202 international characters are used.
9204 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9205 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9206 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9210 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9211 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9212 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9215 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9216 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9217 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9218 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9219 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9220 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9222 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9223 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9224 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9225 be handled by the string table functions.
9227 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9228 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9229 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9230 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9231 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9235 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9236 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9237 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9238 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9239 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9241 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9242 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9243 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9244 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9247 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9248 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9249 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9250 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9251 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9255 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9256 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9257 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9258 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9259 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9260 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9261 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9262 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9264 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9265 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9266 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9269 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9270 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9271 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9272 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9273 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9274 support to pkcs8 application.
9277 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9278 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9279 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9280 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9281 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9282 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9285 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9286 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9287 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9288 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9289 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9293 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9294 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9295 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9296 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9300 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9301 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9302 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9303 and any application specific purposes.
9305 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9306 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9307 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9308 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9309 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9310 if the certificate is self signed.
9313 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9314 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9317 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9318 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9319 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9320 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9323 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9324 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9325 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9326 Update documentation.
9329 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9330 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9331 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9332 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9333 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9336 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9338 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9340 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9341 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9342 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9343 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9344 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9345 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9346 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9347 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9348 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9349 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9351 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9353 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9354 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9355 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9356 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9357 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9359 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9360 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9361 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9362 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9363 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9364 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9365 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9366 request additional information:
9367 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9368 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9370 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9371 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9372 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9375 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9376 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9379 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9382 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9383 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9385 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9386 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9387 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9391 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9392 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9393 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9395 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9396 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9397 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9398 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9399 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9400 included in OpenSSL.
9403 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9404 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9405 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9406 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9407 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9408 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9411 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9415 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9416 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9417 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9418 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9419 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9423 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9427 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9428 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9429 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9430 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9431 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9432 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9433 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9434 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9435 be maintained manually.
9437 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9438 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9439 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9440 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9441 work because people forget to call this function]
9442 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9443 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9444 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9447 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9448 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9449 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9450 should be discouraged from doing it.
9453 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9454 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9455 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9456 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9457 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9458 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9461 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9462 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9463 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9465 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9466 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9467 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9469 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9470 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9471 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9472 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9473 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9474 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9476 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9477 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9478 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9480 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9481 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9484 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9485 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9486 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9487 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9490 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9493 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9494 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9495 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9496 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9497 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9498 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9499 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9500 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9501 keys so we should be OK.
9503 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9504 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9505 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9506 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9507 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9508 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9509 stay in the name of compatibility.
9511 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9512 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9513 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9515 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9516 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9517 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9518 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9519 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9520 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9524 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9525 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9526 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9527 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9528 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9529 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9530 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9531 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9532 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9533 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9534 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9535 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9536 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9539 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9542 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9543 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9544 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9545 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9546 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9547 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9548 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9549 openssl verify ss.pem
9550 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9551 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9555 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9556 (and add it to external session representation).
9557 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9558 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9559 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9560 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9561 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9562 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9564 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9566 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9567 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9568 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9569 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9571 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9572 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9573 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9576 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9577 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9578 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9582 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9583 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9584 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9586 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9587 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9588 certificate auxiliary information.
9591 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9595 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9596 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9597 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9598 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9599 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9600 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9601 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9604 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9605 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9608 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9609 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9610 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9611 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9614 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9617 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9618 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9621 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9622 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9623 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9624 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9625 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9626 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9627 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9628 using the new 'x509' options.
9630 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9631 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9632 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9633 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9637 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9638 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9639 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9640 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9641 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9644 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9645 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9646 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9647 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9648 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9649 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9650 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9651 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9652 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9653 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9656 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9657 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9658 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9659 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9660 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9661 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9662 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9665 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9666 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9667 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9668 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9669 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9670 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9671 openssl.cnf for more info.
9674 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9675 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9676 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9677 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9678 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9679 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9680 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9681 md should be large enough anyway.
9684 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9685 for handling the random seed file.
9687 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9689 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9692 x509 (when signing).
9693 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9694 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9695 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9697 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9698 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9699 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9700 that support '-rand'.
9703 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9704 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9707 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9708 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9711 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9712 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9713 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9714 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9718 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9719 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9720 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9721 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9724 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9725 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9726 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9727 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9728 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9729 print out all the purposes.
9732 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9736 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9737 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9738 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9739 single function call.
9742 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9743 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9746 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9747 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9748 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9751 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9752 when producing the local key id.
9753 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9755 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9756 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9757 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9761 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9762 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9763 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9764 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9767 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9768 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9769 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9770 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9772 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9773 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9774 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9775 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9777 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9778 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9779 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9780 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9781 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9782 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9783 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9784 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9785 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9786 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9787 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9788 trivial: move one line.
9789 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9791 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9792 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9793 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9794 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9795 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9796 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9797 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9798 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9799 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9800 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9801 with an event loop for example.
9804 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9805 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9806 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9807 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9808 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9809 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9810 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9811 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9812 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9815 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9816 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9817 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9818 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9819 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9820 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9823 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9824 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9825 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9826 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9828 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9829 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9830 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9831 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9835 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9836 (still largely untested)
9839 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9840 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9843 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9844 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9847 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9848 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9849 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9852 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9853 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9854 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9855 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9856 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9859 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9862 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9863 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9864 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9865 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9866 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9870 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9871 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9874 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9877 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9878 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9879 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9880 are otherwise ignored at present.
9883 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9884 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9885 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9886 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9887 copied until the next read.
9890 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9891 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9892 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9895 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9896 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9897 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9898 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9899 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9900 associated functions.
9903 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9904 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9905 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9906 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9907 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9908 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9909 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9910 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9911 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9915 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9916 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9917 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9918 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9921 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9922 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9923 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9924 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9925 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9929 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9930 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9934 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9935 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9936 extensions to be obtained and added.
9939 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9940 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9943 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9945 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9948 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9949 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9951 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9955 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9956 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9957 DH parameters contain its length).
9959 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9960 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9961 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9962 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9963 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9964 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9965 utter importance to use
9966 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9968 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9969 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9970 attacks may become possible!
9973 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9976 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9977 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9980 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9981 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9982 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9986 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9987 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9988 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9989 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9990 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9991 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9992 private key operations.
9995 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9998 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9999 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10001 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10002 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10003 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10004 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10005 the password callback is called.
10006 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10008 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10010 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10011 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10012 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10013 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10014 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10015 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10018 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10019 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10020 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10021 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10022 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10023 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10026 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10029 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10030 delete an unused file.
10033 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10034 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10035 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10036 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10039 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10040 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10041 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10045 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10046 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10047 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10049 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10050 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10051 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10052 comparison" warnings.
10053 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10056 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10057 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10058 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10061 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10062 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10064 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10065 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10067 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10068 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10069 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10071 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10072 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10073 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10074 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10075 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10077 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10079 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10080 The interface is as follows:
10081 Applications can use
10082 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10083 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10084 "off" is now the default.
10085 The library internally uses
10086 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10087 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10088 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10090 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10091 even the default) are now avoided.
10093 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10094 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10095 than just having a counter.
10097 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10099 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10103 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10104 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10105 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10106 Initial "mode" flags are:
10108 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10109 a single record has been written.
10110 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10111 retries use the same buffer location.
10112 (But all of the contents must be
10116 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10119 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10120 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10122 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10123 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10124 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10127 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10128 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10130 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10132 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10133 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10134 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10135 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10137 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10138 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10140 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10141 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10142 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10143 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10144 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10145 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10148 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10149 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10150 necessary function names.
10153 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10154 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10155 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10156 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10159 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10160 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10161 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10164 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10165 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10166 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10167 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10169 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10173 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10174 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10175 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10178 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10179 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10183 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10184 for the encoded length.
10185 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10187 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10190 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10191 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10192 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10193 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10196 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10197 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10198 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10200 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10201 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10202 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10203 unusual formatting.
10206 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10207 to use the new extension code.
10210 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10211 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10212 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10216 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10217 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10218 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10222 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10225 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10226 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10227 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10230 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10231 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10232 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10233 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10236 *) DES library cleanups.
10239 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10240 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10241 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10242 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10243 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10247 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10248 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10251 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10252 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10253 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10254 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10255 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10256 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10257 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10258 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10259 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10262 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10263 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10264 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10265 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10266 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10267 value doesn't matter.
10270 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10274 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10275 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10276 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10277 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10279 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10282 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10283 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10284 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10286 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10287 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10289 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10292 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10295 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10298 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10302 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10304 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10306 *) Updated some demos.
10307 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10309 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10312 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10315 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10318 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10319 instead of using a fixed path.
10322 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10325 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10329 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10331 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10332 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10333 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10335 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10336 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10337 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10338 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10339 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10340 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10341 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10342 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10343 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10344 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10347 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10348 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10351 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10352 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10353 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10354 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10355 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10357 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10360 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10361 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10362 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10365 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10368 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10369 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10370 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10371 key elements as negative integers.
10374 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10375 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10378 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10380 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10381 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10382 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10385 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10386 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10387 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10388 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10389 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10392 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10395 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10396 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10397 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10398 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10400 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10401 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10402 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10404 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10405 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10406 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10407 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10408 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10409 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10410 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10411 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10412 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10414 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10415 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10416 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10417 does not influence s as it used to.
10419 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10420 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10421 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10422 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10423 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10424 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10427 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10428 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10429 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10433 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10434 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10435 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10439 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10440 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10441 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10445 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10446 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10449 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10450 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10452 *) Support Mingw32.
10455 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10456 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10458 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10459 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10461 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10464 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10467 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10468 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10470 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10471 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10472 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10476 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10477 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10478 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10479 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10480 now it really counts the depth.
10483 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10484 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10485 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10486 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10487 didn't match the private key).
10489 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10490 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10491 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10494 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10497 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10501 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10502 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10503 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10506 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10509 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10510 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10511 such as /usr/local/bin.
10514 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10515 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10517 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10520 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10521 extension adding in x509 utility.
10524 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10527 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10531 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10534 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10535 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10536 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10537 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10538 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10539 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10540 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10541 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10542 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10543 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10546 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10549 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10550 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10553 *) Fix some race conditions.
10556 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10557 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10560 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10563 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10564 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10565 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10566 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10568 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10569 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10571 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10572 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10573 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10575 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10576 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10578 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10581 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10582 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10584 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10587 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10588 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10590 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10591 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10594 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10595 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10598 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10599 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10602 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10603 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10606 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10607 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10610 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10611 support typesafe stack.
10614 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10615 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10617 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10618 old X509V3 handling code.
10621 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10624 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10627 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10630 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10631 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10633 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10634 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10635 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10636 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10637 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10640 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10641 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10642 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10643 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10644 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10646 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10647 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10648 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10649 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10651 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10652 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10653 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10654 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10656 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10657 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10658 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10659 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10660 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10661 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10664 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10665 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10668 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10669 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10672 *) Tweaks to Configure
10673 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10675 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10679 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10682 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10683 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10686 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10687 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10688 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10691 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10694 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10695 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10698 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10699 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10700 to library startup routines.
10703 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10704 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10705 codes along the way.
10708 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10709 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10710 objects to objects.h
10713 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10714 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10717 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10718 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10720 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10721 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10722 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10724 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10725 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10726 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10728 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10729 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10730 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10733 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10735 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10736 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10739 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10740 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10741 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10742 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10743 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10745 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10746 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10747 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10749 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10751 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10753 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10755 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10756 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10758 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10759 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10760 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10761 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10763 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10766 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10767 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10768 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10769 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10772 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10773 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10774 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10777 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10778 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10779 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10780 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10781 installed as `perl').
10782 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10784 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10785 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10787 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10788 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10789 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10790 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10791 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10794 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10797 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10798 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10799 is horrible: I feel ill....
10802 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10803 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10804 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10805 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10808 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10811 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10812 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10813 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10816 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10817 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10818 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10819 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10820 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10821 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10823 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10825 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10826 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10828 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10829 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10831 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10834 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10835 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10839 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10840 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10841 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10842 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10843 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10844 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10845 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10846 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10847 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10848 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10849 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10851 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10854 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10855 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10856 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10857 for linking it into DSOs.
10858 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10860 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10864 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10865 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10866 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10867 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10868 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10871 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10872 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10873 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10874 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10875 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10876 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10879 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10880 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10881 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10885 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10886 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10887 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10888 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10891 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10892 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10893 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10894 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10895 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10899 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10900 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10901 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10902 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10905 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10906 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10907 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10909 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10910 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10912 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10913 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10914 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10915 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10916 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10919 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10920 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10921 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10922 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10923 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10924 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10925 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10928 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10930 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10931 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10934 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10935 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10937 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10938 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10941 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10942 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10943 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10944 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10945 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10947 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10948 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10949 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10950 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10951 no way to reconfigure them.
10952 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10953 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10954 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10955 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10956 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10959 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10960 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10961 recognized by the users.
10962 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10964 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10965 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10966 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10967 already masked variable.
10968 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10970 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10971 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10973 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10974 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10975 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10976 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10978 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10979 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10980 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10982 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10983 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10984 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10985 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10986 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10987 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10988 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10989 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10993 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10994 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10995 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10997 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10998 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11002 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11003 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11005 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11006 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11007 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11008 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11011 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11014 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11015 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11017 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11020 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11021 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11024 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11025 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11028 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11029 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11030 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11031 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11032 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11033 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11034 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11037 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11038 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11040 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11041 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11042 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11043 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11044 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11046 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11047 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11048 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11051 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11052 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11056 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11057 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11058 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11060 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11061 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11062 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11063 build instructions.
11066 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11067 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11068 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11069 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11072 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11073 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11074 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11075 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11078 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11079 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11080 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11081 so it wasn't spotted.
11082 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11084 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11085 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11086 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11087 vectors if you have them.
11090 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11091 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11094 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11095 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11096 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11097 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11099 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11100 it will update them.
11103 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11104 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11105 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11106 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11107 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11108 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11109 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11110 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11112 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11113 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11114 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11115 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11116 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11117 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11118 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11119 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11120 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11121 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11123 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11124 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11125 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11126 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11127 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11130 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11134 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11135 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11137 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11138 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11140 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11141 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11144 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11145 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11147 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11148 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11150 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11153 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11157 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11158 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11159 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11160 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11162 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11165 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11168 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11171 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11172 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11175 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11176 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11180 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11181 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11184 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11185 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11186 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11189 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11190 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11191 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11192 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11193 properly to be processed.
11196 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11197 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11198 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11201 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11202 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11204 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11205 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11206 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11207 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11208 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11209 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11210 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11211 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11212 or delete all the .err files.
11215 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11216 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11217 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11218 to regenerate it if needed.
11219 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11220 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11222 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11223 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11225 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11226 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11227 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11228 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11229 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11232 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11233 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11235 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11236 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11238 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11239 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11240 error, but didn't set one).
11241 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11243 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11246 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11247 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11250 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11251 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11253 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11254 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11255 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11256 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11257 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11258 OID is not part of the table.
11261 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11262 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11265 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11268 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11269 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11273 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11274 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11276 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11278 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11280 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11281 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11283 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11284 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11286 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11287 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11289 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11290 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11293 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11294 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11297 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11298 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11300 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11301 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11303 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11304 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11306 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11307 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11309 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11310 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11311 unused in the certificate verification process.
11312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11314 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11315 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11318 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11319 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11320 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11322 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11323 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11324 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11325 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11326 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11328 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11329 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11332 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11335 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11338 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11339 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11341 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11344 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11347 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11350 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11351 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11352 other error libraries.
11355 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11358 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
11359 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11363 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11364 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11365 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11366 the new set of documenation files.
11367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11369 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11370 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11371 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11372 number of arguments.
11373 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11375 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11378 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11379 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11380 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11382 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11385 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11389 unixware-2.0-pentium
11393 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11394 before they are needed.
11397 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11401 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11403 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11404 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11405 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11407 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11410 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11411 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11414 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11415 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11416 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11418 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11419 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11420 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11422 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11423 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11425 *) Updated the README file.
11426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11428 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11429 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11432 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11433 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11434 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11436 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11437 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11438 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11439 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11440 o removed obsolete TODO file
11441 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11442 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11444 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11445 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11446 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11447 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11448 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11449 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11450 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11452 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11455 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11456 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11457 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11459 [The OpenSSL Project]
11462 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11464 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11467 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11470 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11471 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11474 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11475 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11479 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11481 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11483 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11486 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11489 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11492 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11495 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11498 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11501 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11504 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11507 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11510 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11513 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11516 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11519 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11522 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11525 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11528 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11531 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11534 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11535 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11536 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11539 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11540 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11543 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11546 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11549 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11550 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11553 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11556 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11559 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11560 bytes sent in the client random.
